I think they will save their own hides before saving the outsider Trump's.
Once public opinion swing solidly toward impeachment, plenty of Republicans will find the courage to go with public opinion.
It would be one thing if Trump was a solid party man with even a short track record, but he won as the anti-party guy in the Republican party. If the party owed him anything, it would be different, but so far, all he has brought them is trouble.
Pence, on the other hand, is a solid party guy, has a track record, and is dependable. And predictable.
