Then they aren't afraid of Trump, they are afraid of Trump's base. There's a big difference. It should also be an indicator of who holds the power. His base trusts him and mistrusts the establishment in the same way you trust the establishment and mistrust Trump. You seem to think Trump can do whatever he wants and keep support. Sure, for a small minority, that's true. The same way it's true for Dems or the establishment GOP. However, he would immediately lose most of his support if he rolled over and stopped attacking the corruption in our government. The vast majority of his support is based on that and that alone.
