What it will mean is that candidates who can mimic his populism and extreme patriotism will start emerging as legitimate candidates in congressional elections. They will do well in Red states and red districts, but they'll be no more competitive in battleground states/districts and in national presidential elections than moderate republicans. 

The whole "candidates lose because they're not conservative enough" argument is gone.
