Assuming "mainstream" excludes Tea Party candidates like Rubio and Cruz, and ironically means the most out-of-touch sorts of Republicans possible, they (Kasich?) lose 2020. Boots are on the ground in Syria, or one of North Korea, Venezuela, Iran have been invaded, or in the best-case scenario we're stuck in Afghanistan forever, and they're blamed for the devastation of COVID. If the establishment Democrats don't coalesce around someone, Sanders wins big in 2020, but any other Democrat wins too.
The Tea Party candidates lose too, but still have some grassroots support and polarization to fall back on.
