Do you honestly think there isn't a rather significant number of Trump supporters that will just stay home once he becomes irrelevant or dies?
For a lot of those people it isn't about politics or the GOP. They literally see him as a god like figure. They aren't turning out for anyone else.
It is why I think he has completely destroyed the party for the foreseeable future and good riddance I say. They likely can't win with him and certainly can't win without him.
