A Morning Consult poll released this week found that one-third of Republicans would vote for a primary challenger to Trump, while 51 percent would not, and 15 percent are not sure. Republicans who are black, disaffected with the party, moderate, and young are especially likely to be open to voting to someone other than Trump for the 2020 GOP ticket.

Didn't the RNC already announced full backing of Trump for 2020?

That doesn't include the voters.

AFAIK most educated Republicans don't like Trumps. Some of them even voted for Hillary the last time. And would've been succeed if electoral college votes doesn't exist and we got by popular votes instead. While some other didn't vote at all. Trump rhetoric only get to the lower class of the Republicans, they are easier to manipulate. And unfortunately there are lots of them.

The way a president in the US can be in power without necessarily having his party be the dominant house and the way u can legally even have a president that ran as an independent I see no reason what's so ever why election for the president can't be done by popular vote

 

Here in Canada in our parliamentary system that would be harder since the leader of the party that has the most seats is automatically the Prime Minister... There's no such thing as an independent or a party winning more seats in an election (like the midterms) and still have the president be from the other party

 

But in the US popular vote could work. I don't see why they don't do it that way

That won’t be enough to primary him. They will all line up (and come out in the rain, sleet, hail, etc) to vote for him in the general election.
