The Republican establishment has an Agnew problem. For those too young to remember the resignation of Richard Nixon, there was a key precursor--the resignation of Spiro Agnew.
Nixon's paranoia clouded his judgement, but Vice President Agnew was a bombastic crook who had been on the take as governor of Maryland. Only after an investigation forced Spiro out of office could Nixon be impeached.
If Trump were forced out today, the GOP would be under Cruz control. Ted would power glide to the nomination. Polls show he is the second choice of a plurality of likely Republican primary voters.
Ted is more savvy, more articulate, and more dangerous than "The Donald." Until they find a way to take down number 2 the GOP is forced to leave Trump alone.
