The GOP is probably right that dumping Trump will likely mean short term pain for the party as his supporters take it out on them in 2024. But voters have short attention spans. The GOP will be in a much stronger position in the medium and long term if they just take their medicine now.

GOP leaders don't care about the long term future of the GOP. They care about their own individual short term futures. Dumping Trump or doing anything to undermine him could cost them their own positions/seats. And Trump would still win the nomination.
