He needed a new hero. I'm not sure it's any more complicated than that.

Could be something else, certainly, but I think he morphs to whatever his "hero" wants, whether it's McCain or Trump. Trump wasn't going to accept him unless he did and said exactly what Trump wanted. I think he's so desperate to have that relationship that he did whatever it took. Of course, Trump trashed him anyway, but a lot of abusive relationships work in a similar fashion.
