This is not new. The question now is what becomes of the GOP from here. They could consolidate the anti-Trump voters and run someone semi-sane, but risk hardcore Trumpists staying home. Or they could try to rebrand the crazy and find someone more competent who can appeal to the Trumpists. Right now, I have no doubt Biden will win a second term so they have at least 8 years to figure out how and whether the party can survive. It's important to watch this closely as it should impact Dem strategy.
