Some are, but Trump has shown them the obvious: you can't run a party and campaign on that alone. The GOP was waiting for another Ronald Reagan when they should have realized that not only was such a candidate nowhere to be found, but that it just didn't attract the electorate in like it used to.

Trump upgraded the game. Added LGBT, minority outreach, and union workers. Suddenly he's taking the "blue vote guarantees" away from the DNC. Despite not getting another Reagan, we got something similar: an ex-Democrat.
