This is between a rock and a hard place - they can't win with being the Trump Party and they can't win without his base.
It's not just about being shut out of the WH for another 4 or 8 years. It is having to deal with this dynamo woman - think Obama's manhandling of the GOP in his 2nd term, times a few orders of magnitude. If I was any of the GOPer's left standing in Congress after this election, I'd be pretty scared too - only those too stupid and/or insane are not.
So far, the trend continues on its downward spiral. Her tactics of obscuring, hairsplitting and disavowing didn't work very well for Whitewater and they aren't working now. Apparently, she can't admit any flaws or failures, no matter how obvious, and that makes her suspect. Check her favorable ratings in the current round of polls; she's in the low to mid 30s and dropping.
She and Bill share this character trait, so there's no clear voice of reason to sound the alarm.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
