They thought Trump could be contained and pointed in the "right" direction. Now that they have seen their experiment fail, I think they want someone more like Reagan or Bush II--someone they can manipulate that will do what they want 99% of the time, and not go off on his own unpredictable tangents 50% of the time. In 2020, I see Pence as the greater danger. For now, anyway. Two years is an eon in politics.
