At least that is the indication they give all of the time. There were strong anti-Trump elements in the RNC during the primaries, the establishment was rallying around any candidate that could beat him, and lackluster endorsements and even endorsements of Clinton are a sign that they know he is unelectable. If they thought he had a real shot they would be all over his ass like they were with Bush in 2004.Except For few of them this isn't about a moral obligation or a sense of duty, its pure survival and they know Trump is the worst major party candidate, possibly in U.S. history.

The Tang T'ain't's base is the most dependable voting segment of the GOP's former base.

This is the RNC nominee, doubt they take him out. This is the result of a clown car run.
