They really have no Plan B so Trump is the only wagon wobbling along to hitch onto. Given the number of relatively young Repug Congressional reps resigning or already announcing they are not running for reelection, they see the jig is about up and are leaving their musical chairs game before the music stops. Probably smart to put some time and distance between themselves and the unfolding debacle that the whole GOP will get painted with.
