The EC is backed by to many GOP supporters for a sudden loss (flip of TX and FL) in a single election cycle to suddenly equate to a call for its abolition. Whether the GOP party itself likes the system is another matter, but the voters who support the party have complete buy-in to the system (plus all the GOP special interest groups who write support articles on it). They will strong arm the party to keep supporting it, just like they do on other issues. Rather than call for it's abolition I think the GOP would simply shift strategy (in the aftermath of a TX/FL loss). They would probably try to 1) take back those states if the margin was close 2) pour greater resources into other states to make up the difference (ME, NH, MN, VA, NV). They understand, via the 2010 and 2016 victories, the landscape can change and be manipulated. They understand this through there 2006, 2008, and 2018 losses as well.
