If Trump loses in 2020 AND the GOP loses the Senate, what policies can be enacted to keep the Democrats in power? IMO, Democrats should step on the throat of the GOP and refuse to allow a single breath. The current GOP needs to die so that a party with good ideas can rise from the ashes.
Good ideas like turning illegal border crossings into a petty offense or free abortions for transgender women?
Regarding the premise of your thought experiment: the natural advantage of the GOP in the Senate is so big that there exist no measures the Democrats could enact that would prevent them from losing the Senate in 2022, or 2024 at the latest. (In 2024, the extremely GOP-favorable Senate map is up again.) You cant gerrymander Senate seats, and changing the seat allocation in the Senate would require supermajorities in the Senate itself which are completely out of reach for Democrats, no matter what.
Oh yeah, one more thing: Trump himself has already killed the old GOP, the GOP of the Romneys, Ryans, Bushes and McCains, and resurrected it with new ideas. You just dont like their new ideas (populist nationalism).
