During a Sunday interview with The Associated Press, the former chief strategist to President Donald Trump said he believes the GOP would lose 35 to 40 seats in the House if the election were held today, thereby ceding their majority to Democrats he’s convinced will pursue impeachment. He argued there’s still time to turn that around and is launching a group, Citizens of the American Republic, to pitch the election as a vote to protect Trump from that outcome.
“You can’t look at this as a midterm and you can’t run it out of the traditional Republican playbook. If you do that, you’re going to get smoked,” said Bannon, arguing that Republicans must redouble efforts against motivated Democrats.
This is dangerous for the GOP, however... it's an 'all in' strategy and can cause the collapse of the whole party if things should go sour. An unwanted outcome of the Special Counsel investigation could bring down the entire party, should the whole party offer unanimous support.
It seems that it may be the only way not to lose majority in November, however; at least in the House. 35 to 40 seats lost would make for very difficult next 2 years for the White House and the unfinished agendas.

The only way? lol. No, not the only way. It would ensure their victory if they did it, but it isn't the only path to victory for the Republicans.

As long as the DNC+MSM+GOP are in total absolute collusion regarding elections, like they have been for decades, and they continue to succeed in keeping "third" party's out of the public equation, then DNC/GOP never truly loses. And therefore that's about all anybody should ever be talking about regarding them "two".

After all a house divided cannot stand.
So would have said Joseph Stalin.

Should the Republican Party not support Trump fully, I agree, the party will be toast.

That will wake 'em up to what they should be. Which is not a protectionist, deficit increasing, religious based cabal. The party that turned me into a "Libertarian" a couple of decades ago.
