I think they hate him and have always hated him, but had to play with him because of his 1% ties. He's not the candidate of the GOP so much as of the 1%. He shares none of their values beyond stealing.

They are not offering him any cover or real distraction, and in fact are distancing themselves already.

I think they hope to gain at the other branches and obstruct enough to continue the looting for another 4 years, finishing the job they started while trying to escape the blame. After 2 terms, they can call it Obama's economy more easily and run Jebby in '16, who has been positioning himself as a "moderate."
