Respectfully, Those of you who believe Trump was or is the savior of the Republican Party are wrong. As long as Trump dominates the party, the Democrats will probably control the presidency, the Senate and the House.
Look what Trump did to Arizona and Georgia. In 2016 they were red states and all four senators were Republicans. Now they've changed to purple and the senators are all Democrats. And Trump is looking to torpedo the political careers of the popular Republican governors of both states. Why? They didn't call out Trump like Jeff Flake bravely did. Rather, they refused to cooperate in overturning the results of the elections in their states. So Trump has announced he'll try to "primary" them.
Trump appears to want to become the Party Godfather, and become the guiding hand in determining which Republicans will compete in the general election. Well, Trump's seal of approval in the primaries is the kiss of death in the general election. He's an unpopular figure among all but Republicans, as evidenced by the vote count in the November election.
I do not look forward to big government, high taxes, and the destruction of the U.S. oil and gas industry, which may result from control of all levers of government by a Democratic Party that's migrating farther and farther to the left. But that's what will happen if Trump controls the Republican Party going forward.

Here is what I think will happen.
The GOP will lurch further to the right in primaries but they in fact will win their general elections.
What this voter fraud lies exposed is how powerful the states are in running their own elections.
They will enact more gerrymandering and voter suppression laws that will increase their power in both state houses and congress.
I think the country is headed towards a huge leap to the right with even more and more debt piled on with lower and lower taxes.
