If you look at Trumps 35% in the general a lot of that is still Scotus republicans who while may overlap the tea party, trumpers I still think they are a distinct group. Trumps probably got about 20-25% of Republican Party members which would likely be a fair representation of the disenfranchised right.
So I don't think they represent a group that can actually do anything. The rebuild of the republicans will probably include a close look at the nomination process, the winner take all states, closed or open primaries, super delegates to fix things. Essentially they will try to limit the influence of the small but vocal elements of their party.
Now what the Real Americans do as a result of this shift to the center I don't know but the establishment republicans will get a lot closer to the democrat model to build a firewall around the fringe.

I think that number is high. And I think it grows when you add the disenfranchised on the left as well. Half? Getting there.
Democrats need to start recognizing that the status quo doesn't work for a large percentage of Americans.
