Unfortunately, I don't think so. It will continue its trajectory of shrinking in numbers while becoming more unhinged and dangerous.
As I see it, only one thing can change the trajectory of the Republican Party and cause its quick demise (meaning over the next 5 years or so)

There are a few things this group can do that will hasten the demise of the Republican Party.
If sitting members of Congress join, and if they start voting with Democrats, and if they vote for Democrats, you will see the Republican Party implode.

This, however, is unlikely.
If they include elected state Republicans, and all they want is for the Republican Party to break with Trump, the only accomplishment will be that if Trump runs, he will have an even harder time winning reelection.

. . . Democratic turnout is so high and Democratic candidates win in such large numbers that the Republicans suffer a string of major defeats at the ballot box.
In other words, we all have a lot of work to do.

I said "unlikely."
I didn't say impossible.
Because hope (that thing with feathers) springs eternal 😉.

I agree.
Of course, if enough of those "influential Republicans" actually have influence in state governments, there is less risk of a stolen election.
Otherwise, we're on our own. Every election matters, at every level.
