Who’s to say, but if I had to guess? Neither.

If anything, I’d bet their game is a longer view: how to take advantage of another possible trump presidency, balanced against positioning to take advantage of the fallout of another trump loss…with another possible scenario being that another candidate somehow manages to win the primary, in which case the trump loyalists won’t control the party and it’ll be advantageous to not look too trumpy in that case, just trumpy enough to maintain appearances as a proud and loyal republican.

It’s a tightrope I’m glad I don’t have to negotiate.
