As Martin Longman notes, parties will protect their presidents because they have ideological and personal stakes in that presidency succeeding.
It's also worth noting that Trump has no real personal ties with the establishment GOP. Mike Pence does.
If the GOP wants to ram through its cruel, retrograde agenda of funneling wealth upwards, why not do it with Mike Pence in the Oval Office? OK, he's stupid and uncharismatic, but doesn't that make him perfect for the job? If anything, Pence's thundering blandness would be a welcome respite from the non-stop shitshow we are enduring now.
Why should the congressional GOP protect Trump?
