1. They didn't think he could win, and they didn't want to be associated with Trump and his policies if he lost. They thought it would hurt them and the GOP future to stand by him.
2. They didn't want him to win because he threw into turmoil their establishment politics, and they would rather he lost and their party not be in power so they could continue the status quo. To them, it really didn't matter if they were the majority party as long as they were part of the establishment.
For some it was a combination of both.
I would say these things sentiments apply in a slightly new way:
1. They know that he won, but they are told by the media that he isn't popular, so they think turning on him will be more beneficial to their own reelection chances and the future of the party. They adhere to the MSM narrative.
2. They don't care if he succeeds or want him to because his anti-establishment policies shake up the establishment they are a part of. They want to get back to the status quo, even if it means losing elections. They care about MSM accolades (John McCain & Lindsey Graham).
For those who subscribe to number one, I must inform them that a poll came out that showed that Republicans prefer Trump to the Republican Congress right now. The attitude that they took prior to him taking office where they listen to the MSM narrative about Trump and think its better for their own futures to go against him is wrong. If it weren't for Trump, we'd have President Clinton right now. Only Trump was able to flip that blue wall. Some of these people rode in on Trump's coattails. Many Trump voters are more loyal to Trump than the GOP establishment, and if they toss Trump under the bus, they risk being primaried or losing their seat.
The bottom line - COULD YOU EVER IMAGINE THE DEMOCRATS DOING THIS? The left whines that Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell are not helping them in their quest to go after Trump, but could you imagine us whining to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid for help in going after Obama? Could you imagine the Democrats going after one of their own no matter what that person does? NO! They circle the wagons. Bernie Sanders lost his shot to be President because the DNC rigged the primaries against him for pete's sake, and he still sold his soul to the DNC and voted for Hillary.

Ah, usual Commie Moonbat, Rumpswab.
Susan, you are one vodka Collins short of a drunk
in public rap. Since you passed on the opportunity to
subpoena or even demand Obama’s college transcripts you are precluded from making any type of records
demand from President Trump.
susan, (I am an idiot and lunatic) collins. I hope she first releases her taxes. I bet there are some questionable things there. What a complete putz. By the way, those of you who voted for this moron...are absolute morons.

WTF?? Trump already said he will not release his taxes and that’s it.
Hey Collins- work on Obamacare, taxes, and nominating Gorsuch l. Cut out the meaningless crap.
Politics are not a good place with magnifiers. Especially with the prosecuter and vetos for pork.
But don’t you know? She’s looking for connections to Russia? There could be proof Donald Trump is a secret KGB agent.
Really. Funny how she works on the same Russian connection to Trump that Schumer is concerned with. No concern whatsoever about real solutions to important issues.
It’s hacks like Collins that have put this nation $20T in the hole.
I think Susan Collins has Health issues...
Her head shakes all the time, even when standing still, and she knows it and tries talking and moving her head at all time..media and cameras cover for her...they also know she has a problem...
part could be her age also... she will be 65 in Dec. 2017

That sounds oddly familiar. Perhaps Dr. Noel should be consulted.
In any case, she's a bit short of a full byte.
Exactly. He isn't required to by law but he did post a 1200 page business report anyway. It's clear his enemies are just looking for something to go after him with.
Since it seems to make the left's heads spin; I hope he never shows his tax returns. It's kinda fun to watch the leftist turn all red, white, and then blue. It's the one time they look a little patriotic.
Another idiot - who probably ascribes to the “Nazi” references so many bestow on Trump, wanting to subvert law and constitution to go on a evidence-less fishing trip....Priceless!
