but wait a second, didn't trump clean up DC and make it the safest, cleanest most beautifulest city ever? shouldn't DC residents be lining up to vote Republican forevermore as an expression of their gratitude?

That's an interesting way to look at it. In my mind I think of this similar thing, but instead as the value of the party's perpetuity. Because Trump has personalized the party, the party has lost its value to many voters (and even activists).

I think this is the first time I'm seeing a party's ideology as a kind of electoral insurance or hedge against poor candidate quality or policy disaster. So long as a party has a robust ideological reputation (that organizes a considerable electorate's views), its electoral losses can be mitigated.
