The Patriot Party will split the GOP in two. Even if it's an unequal split, it would be enough to hand the Democrats states and districts that are solidly Republican.
Instantly they'd lose Texas, and Florida.
Convict and bar Trump from running could save the GOP.

This would likely crush the GOP's chances for any general election in the near future. With a Trump fueled party taking votes from the GOP, I don't see how Republicans would win many of the swing states. PA would go blue every time, Florida and Texas like you said, pretty much all the midwest states (Ohio/MI/Wi)...I don't think the GOP would have enough supporters to overcome a Trump party candidate.
So by all means, GOP, let Trump ruin your party even farther.
For example, on a Pens board I occasionally peruse, (which btw makes CP look like a liberal haven) even the hardcore GOP supporters are welcoming this. They're willing to take a decade of Democratic rule in order to get the GOP back in order.
