It's hard to tell if the elites are truly just trapped by an insane base, or if their voters would respond if they sent a clear signal that Trump and his norm-breaking was beyond the pale. If the party leaders after each controversy are signalling to their electorate that it's ok, there's no chance those voters would find something disqualifying. It would still be a huge risk for them, their voters would most likely just lash out at the 'betrayal'. However, every Trump controversy being a Democratic vs Republican fight means Republicans will always rally behind him.
