We don't lose elections by lost kook votes. We lose them by lost base votes.
That depends on how big that kook population is on voting day.
I'm beginning to think that the Trumpistas, which appear to be a fair % of the GOP vote, will cry foul, fix, unfair, etc., when the Donald doesn't get the nomination. & stay home..........& that's enough kooks to make a pretty big distance.
