It's a short-term pain for long-term gain scenario, because Trump is a losing hand but if they don't convict him, he'll continue to dominate the party for as long as he's around. But they're terrified of defying him and pushing him to form a third party (which I think is all bluster to begin with) and losing a chunk of his hard-core voters. The better strategy is to take the hit and exorcise him now, but this is the GOP we're talking about - they'll back down and kowtow to him like always.
