It seems that the Republican party has sold its soul to the devil and now find themselves in impossible position. No one can take a strong stance against Trump because too high a proportion of the MAGA base will back-lash. But if they sell themselves as a Trump-lite, Republican members are likely to choose the real thing rather than the imitation. Unfortunately Trump himself fires up the larger but less passionate Democrat base like nothing else in politics and he polls badly with the crucial independent voters. All in all a very bad position.
