The AR or anti establishment bloc of the party was seemingly a plurality in the 2016 primary, but not a majority. So does a situation ever exist when a single challenger in the 2020 primary can come forward and unite more of the party together under effective leadership?
At some point, Trump will run out of Obama executive orders to nullify and the lack of any significant legislation will make it hard to deny that very little progress towards any stated campaign goals or agendas is taking place. Unless he manufactures a war, what exactly do you run on?
That's going to be the tough thing to answer right now. I think it can be done, he can face a challenger and lose out in 2020, but there will have to be a lot of cards fall in the right way.
It will be interesting to see if he ends up with an agenda that is more than just undoing what Obama did, because that seems to be all he is really concerned with. If he doesn't actually do something, then it will be a hard sell for him in 2020.
