Trump is the personification of their worst nightmare come to life. For years Republican leaders have used their base of social conservative voters to sustain their political ambitions as they catered to the fat cats who are their real masters while paying lip service to social issues important to their rank and file.
Lately as they have become keenly aware that the countrys changing demographics will make it harder and harder to win the White House every four years, the Republican hierarchy has ratcheted back on their rhetoric on issues which was driving away Hispanics, blacks and single women and they even begin outreaches to these rapidly growing demographic segments. Perhaps all of this was the final straw, but for whatever reason, the Republican base rebelled against the party elders and chose as their unlikely leader the one candidate who spoke to innermost concerns and prejudices.
With Trump leading the populist rebellion, establishment Republican leaders are left with the horns of a dilemma, should they fully heartedly throw their support behind the Republican nominee as is the norm or should they try to put down the rebellion in their party by opposing Trump and all he stands for. Neither choice is particularly appealing; both could lead to political disaster for the Republican Party.
