I would say that is the idea. 

Given Trump's hold over the party at the moment, no one who openly opposes him can expect nomination in 2024.

So long as "the base" doesn't see a middle ground between never Trumpers and true believers, neither will GOP politicians 
who hope to get elected in the states they dominate. 

If Trump goes to jail or dies before 2024, the GOP may choose someone trying to ape him. That may be enough to win
nomination, but not enough to win the national election. No one does "Mexican rapists" better than Trump. 

If Trump does run, though, he could again surprise by earning more votes than last time. Enough people are more worried
about "socialism" than competence to make that possible.
