Republican's Drive to Win at all Costs Will Cost them the G.O.P.

According to Julia Azari, a professor of political science at Marquette University, a Trump victory would actually prove worse for the Republican Party in the long run than another Democratic presidency.

“Parties are not just labels, they’re not just ideas,” she said. “They’re institutions, and they’re institutions that do have people in them that have some sense of their longevity and also their integrity. Trump could run and lose, and the Republican Party could potentially move on from that. If he runs and wins, that’s really the nightmare scenario.”
