Their base isn't really the issue though, they do need the less extreme 2012 Romney republicans too in order to have any hope of winning in 2020. They need at least some showing of them to keep congress in 2018. Eroding that support is possible and I suspect, perhaps optimistically, that it is indeed happening quietly.
