The difference between now and then is that voters didn't have a 4 year Trump presidency to make their decision way easier.

 

I get that as a measure to win in 2020, but then the cycle could begin anew with losses in 2022 and 2024 leaving the door open for the Republican party to capitalize again and possibly reinvent taking away groups taken for granted.

There is no reinventing. The parties are fine how they are since they appeal greatly to their voter base. The policies never change. The difference is made by a handful of idiots who vote something different every time because they aren't really interested in politics.

Idiots are fickle, so trying to appeal to them is nothing more than a gamble.

Take disgruntled Bernie supportes for example. They didn't vote because it wasn't Bernie running. As loyal Bernie fans they didn't vote for Hillary and as such went against everything Bernie tried to achieve. Those people do not respond to logic, they only act on buzzwords. The best you can do is hoping they won't get too many buzzwords to sway them to not vote.
