What will trump do in 2020 if he loses?

Trump would be gone. But his supporters would probably think Trump lost because he wasn't extreme enough. They would support another Trump-like candidate if one shows up, and the whole thing starts all over again, except with even more extreme rhetoric.

So once Trump leaves the 70% of Republicans who support banning Muslims will suddenly stop doing so? I don't think so. Trump has already left a permanent mark on immigration policy by bringing these kinds of positions to the mainstream.

In 2012 Romney's self deportation was considered to be very right-wing position. But Cruz is going much further, saying they should be deported (although he gives no plan to do so and probably wouldn't honor the promise), and doesn't get any attention for his position because Trump is even more extreme.

Plenty of Republicans are much more extreme in their personal views than Trump. A third of Republicans support banning Islam. You can't even give all of the blame to Trump on this one since he isn't even taking that position. Why won't these GOPers support a candidate who supports banning the religion in 2020?
