A handful of them are probably jonesing for the VP slot. Trump has a uniquely loyal cult following and is able to increase voter enthusiasm more than anyone else on their side could. So I believe they are now making a new deal with the devil, knowing full well what it entails. With new voter suppression laws being cooked up in the all important swing states, they will have a pretty decent shot, too.
