A good few of the MAGA types were not keeping Trump honest, the current opposition, the non-neo con types were not confronting Trump as much as they should have over his deals with neo-cons.
If they had done they would have been able to keep Trump in line and also be effective opposition. Instead during the midterms they grew extremely complacent especially with regards to the tactics the democrats were using. Trump endorsed utterly shit candidates like Dr.Oz and if they had the balls to call him out and field their own candidate the republicans might not have lost that ridiculous race.
Populists can't defeat Trump because populists are not bigger than Trump within the Republican Party. Trump is an avatar of populism within the party itself. Populists can't field their own candidates in defiance of both Trump and the establishment. You might as well vote libertarian and hope for the best (or really just move to New Hampshire).
I wish Steve Bannon was helping to run Trump's campaign, but unfortunately I don't get to make that call.
