Dems figured the Bernie or Busters would mostly come on board in the end. And from polling they mostly did, at about a 90% rate. Where else do the deplorables have to go? A third party cannibalizes the GOP's chances leaves open the possibility of mass Dem wins across the board, and even more immigrants and open borders and Sharia Law etc...
Basically in the current sports team environment of politics, it's hatred of the opposition that is the biggest fuel there is. I think the GOP can denounce the racism and bigotry of the deplorables, yet still get most of their votes because they have nowhere else to go. And in denouncing them, you can win a few more votes in the middle you need to win. But if they don't denounce them, they keep losing and the paths get even more impossible as Texas and Georgia and Arizona become purple and eventually blue. Big decision for them after the election as to where to go.

Trump has definitely done a lot of damage. But a loss today will start to marginalize the deplorables. Sure, they'll go down kicking and screaming, but they won't have any real power, and will only get more irrelevant as time goes by. And, hey, we'll have 650 million new immigrants next week if Hillary wins, so, they'll only be a tiny percent!
