If I am a GOP Establishment insider, I let Trump get the nomination, then I spend the party money on Congress and state races. That seems to be the best long term strategy.
8 years of President Obama has shown that a Democrat in the White House is not bad for the overall health of the GOP. 4 years of Hillary is just four more years of fundraising from the same playbook.
