The major point is that they still think he is a winner and that his narrow victory in 2016 as well as his big losses in 2018, 2020, and 2022 were all major wins that were stolen from him by a rigged system.

No one in the GOP, sane or insane, wanted to drop Trump until he lost the midterms for them a week ago...that's all that matters is that he isn't winning and he's going to cause them to lose ground to the democrats if he stays the main figure of the GOP.  They have the problem that they let Trump convince half of their base that he's never lost and he can never lose.

2016 - rigged, Trump won by a landslide
2018 - rigged, the GOP won by a landslide
2020 - rigged, Trump won by a landslide
2022 - Ok, seriously this one wasn't rigged and neither were the others, we've given you 6 straight years of propaganda that we need you to disregard before 2024

I mean, as long as Trump still has big rallies over the next 2 years how can you convince every Trump voter that he won't crush DeSantis and then crush Biden/whomever in 2024?  What are you going to use on them....logic?

The GOP talked a big game about needing to ditch Trump after 2020 and 1/6 and some of them tried and then it was like...no, his supporters won't budge, we've got to backtrack on this and change our tune and throw out anyone who won't do a 180 on this.  They're talking tough now about pulling their support for Trump and anointing DeSantis as the face of the GOP, but history has shown it's very possible they start down this path and have to retreat yet again.

Turning on Trump hasn't gone over well with his supporters and hoping that his supporters somehow finally accept that he lost so you can safely and effectively turn on him may be a tough road to hoe, so to speak.
