They've gone the other way, entirely. They didn't do this awhile a go..or complete the process..it's what they're still doing - defining themselves by an outlier demographic opposed to the democrats voting bloc. Defining themselves into opposition of the very idea, lol. Hoping that motivation will hold back sheer numbers long enough to cash in..and then out.
John Boehners a weed salesman..now, just something to consider.
The GOP rejected the ideology of inclusivity that it had cultivated in preparation for this demographic shift when it was completely annihilated in the primaries by rabid nativism.
I encourage you to read the article that I linked to in the OP. Ernst was on Trump's shortlist for VP. The article implies that she was offered the spot, but turned it down. She is the first woman to represent Iowa in the senate. She is the senate's first female combat veteran. She's recently single and rather attractive (yeah, I just decided to throw that in there).
I think that she's the Republican's best chance in 2020.
She has a (possibly frightening to some) sense of humor:
Ernst received widespread attention for a campaign advertisement she released in March 2014 where she employed a tongue-in-cheek comparison between her experience castrating pigs and her ability to cut "pork" in Congress.[31][32] Many found the ad to be humorous[33][34] and it was spoofed by late-night comedians including Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert.

If Joni Ernst wins the nomination, she loses to whoever the Democrats put up. Trump's cult will never vote for her. They'd view it as a betrayal and write-in Trump. I doubt most of them would vote for a woman in the first place. And evangelicals definitely wouldn't.
The first female President will almost certainly be a woman. Kamala Harris, maybe. And one day Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will be President.

Holy fuck do I wish AOC would be old enough for 2020, with the right VP she'd clobber 45.

I'd love to see her get a bit more experience first. Not because I think she needs it, but she'll kick that complaint square in the vagina.

What's wrong with vaginas? I have tons of problems with comb over assholes, but there are tons of vaginas who can kick ass. 45 isn't human enough to have her vagina.

I don't see how the Republicans could possibly support Sen Ernst. She's been divorced, her husband allegedly cheated on her...oh, wait.
Never mind.

Yep! Now she's just got to grab some guy by the scrotum. Maybe she'll do it to Trump during a televised debate.

Nothing wrong with a vagina. But rather than say "Kick it in the balls" I say "Kick it in the vagina"

Just imagine how humiliating it would be for Democrats if the first female president were to be a Republican. This would be a really smart play for the Republicans.
You seem to be one of those people who hate trump so much that you would almost be willing fantasize that trump might go away one day and be succeeded by a Republican Party that had done everything to avoid any hint of daylight to show between itself and trump.
Thank you. Now go away.
