I agree that the national leadership is probably looking for an off-ramp on Trump, but the GOP caucus-goers and primary voters will still be a lock for Trump even if he's convicted and imprisoned. To vote against Trump in the primary is to mentally admit that the libs are right, which is unacceptable for the average GOP voter.

Oh yeah, the GOP elite are in a tough place. They probably want Trump to get shitcanned even before the primaries finish.
