Yeah.

There are a few ways.

He could get an establishment opponent if he's controversial in certain ways.

If he governs as a typical Republican, he might have a challenger from his wing calling him a sellout.

If he's too moderate in office, he might have a far-right opponent from the Cruz wing.

All are possible.

But if he's personally popular, he will not have a primary.  Trump's surprising showing is the reason Pat Toomey and Ron Johnson were re-elected.  The only reason.  He's the reason Kelly Ayotte almost made it back.  He's the reason Scott Young upset Evan Bayh.  Principle be damned, incumbent Republicans are not going to sabotage a President they think is popular and will help their re-election chances.
