A lot of Trump supporters will never vouch for someone as politician and "establishment" as them. The whole appeal with Trump is that he has established genuine faith and belief in people, many who might have never voted or haven't voted for a long time. If Trump continues his narrative about the Republican Party being against him (and I imagine he's going to blame it all on them when he loses...), there is no way Trump supporters will go for a "Romney/Ryan/Rubio type person". I mean, I think everyone forgets Ted Cruz came second. He's himself is not very "establishment", and is just as insane (if not more
insane, to be honest) than Trump.
It honestly wouldn't surprise me to see another business person or outsider with a similar narrative as Trump get the nomination again. People (all over the spectrum and not just in the US) are sick to death with "establishment" politics.
This is why its going to be
so messy after Trump. You're going to have so many different factions trying to establish what the GOP is actually meant to be and where it should go. It's the problem of having a two party system, when divisions open up... they can really fk the party over.
