I guess there are some that don't mind being losers, as long as their corporate patrons are happy. Trump at least offered an avenue of reform to the party. I don't see any viable alternative if the intention is to keep fighting.

Reform? Are you fucking kidding me?
Romney (2014??) lost to a popular incumbent, which hardly makes him a historical oddity. He's also a relatively weak, patrician candidate. There are, however, potential Republican candidates who aren't sociopathic fascists like Trump (sociopathic anyway) who might make respectable national candidates. The point is that Trump is poison - the coup has tainted his brand beyond repair, and he was already one of the most unpopular incumbent Presidents in a century. If they continue to allow him to be the face of the party they're screwed. Choosing another path at least gives them a chance.
