I actually think they might finally have doubts that Trump being re-elected in 2024 would be a good thing for the GOP.
It all depends how the next few years ago, if politics in the US does move towards back towards bi-lateral comprise (a big if, I know) then a Trump style candidate might not be what the party wants anyway.
What the GOP really needs right now is a unifying and electable candidate to emerge, and soon. If there is a chasm to fill, Trump knows how to fill it.
They might truly believe that the Republican party might be the best thing for the country.
I can't imagine they think of Trump as a glorious leader, but back him as a route to power.
