Really depends on what Trump does and how the Republican leadership responds. If Trump sparks an unprecedented constitutional crisis and the establishment leaders completely waffle on any meaningful pushback, I wouldn't be surprised if some elements in the GOP end up going rogue. I'm not going to hazard a guess on likelihood, but factions of parties splintering off during times of tremendous intraparty turmoil has multiple precedents.

Trump would really have to be pushing things to the absolute brink and Ryan and McConnell would have to completely drop the ball in the worst way possible before I'd begin considering whether this was on the verge of occurring though.
