I think the question is that if Trump looked and behaved as he did in his first term...still abhorrent, an abomination, but NOT in an alarming state of physical and mental decay, and NOT falling asleep in every meeting, would they be doing this?

I think not.

Because no matter WHO triies to take the rains after his dirt nap, he'll never have the iron grip on him that he still has, and they know it.
