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.

A party taking away 15% of the GOP's vote would have cost the Republicans 9 Senators, 61 Representatives, and 8 States totaling 124 Electoral votes. (Alaska, Florida, Iowa, Kansas, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas)
