Think about it this way: GOP is already the less popular side. Let's say they set the party line, make things clear, condemn and convict Trump. They are going to lose some support by doing that.

I don't know how much they would lose, but even 5% would ruin them electorally. What do spine or principles matter, if you can't get elected? That's why they hesitate. The only strategy to keep their party alive right now is to avoid the issue and hope for some miracle - or double down and commit to being the party of Trump.
