He is right though about the fracturing of the right. That is a not going to be undone. There is a degree of awareness now that isn't going to just vanish. Trumpists now regard the establishment and the movement conservatives as hostile to their interests, movement conservatives look down on Trumpists inferior hicks, establishment types see both as crazy. Reallignments often occur when people wake up and realize just who is actually in their party and decide they don't want to be in the same tent. You see this in that Confessions of a Republian ad (he hasn't voted Republican since the 1960's), you see this with the many people who have switched parties over the years and you see it now with the many people who are for the first time realizing because of Trump, who else is a Republican and why.
For his sake and his objectives/ideology, he has every reason to lose it.
