I think he has sunk the Republican party. The Republican party already knows it needs two demographics - women and Hispanics. With Trump they lost both; Right out of the gate Trump started with "Mexicans are rapists" and then followed up with calling women names.
If he runs for the Republican party he will have lost the two demographics he needs the most causing them to loose. If he runs as a independent, he will loose a lot of his support who will vote Republican no matter what, but he will pull enough away from the Republican party to cause them to loose.
It will be interesting no matter what.
