They have been working for so long to completely control our political system and destroy our democracy, they’re not going to allow a psychotic buffoon to ruin their chances to finally succeed. It makes sense that one or more Rethugs could be groomed behind the scenes, to take over when Trump is unable to continue his campaign (for whatever reason). All those wealthy donors who fund the right wing “think tanks” will want to see that their money has been well spent.
