5. He's destroying that party

Good.

Trump's support is near it's floor, 33%. But that 33% is the majority of the republic Party, so you can't win any nomination without their support, but you can't win any general election with 33% either. It's going to be quite a tap dance going forward for the GOP to hold this 33% at the same time as appealing to the moderates.

Dems need to see this as an opportunity, figure out a way to get those moderates to vote with you consistently. Tie Trump to the Republican party like an anchor, this is the time to bury them, the chance is there, take it.
