Have the VP (Spiro Agnew in 1973, Pence today) fall on their sword first. Then the President picks a new VP (potentially minority leader) from the GOP to replace them so that when the president falls on his sword, the GOP continue to control the Oval Office.

Like everyone else, the GOP don't care about Trump or Pence. With the Dems taking the House, it is time for them to get ready for 2020 - which probably means throwing Trump under the bus in the best way for them to garner public support.
