Yeah, primaries and midterms are like the protest votes. This party has no chance for presidential elections as it keeps tilting farther away from the populace. The Republican party is to right leaning voters what the NRA is to gun owners in that they're becoming more extreme for anyone other than their hardliners.
People will still vote Republican out of habit for a while, but eventually it will be too far and they'll be decimated.
