I don't think the GOP can do anything about Trump other than pull a large chunk of the funding and put it towards other races to minimize the damage he's doing. They can't replace him without putting themselves in their own "it's rigged" quagmire. If he quits you know he won't quit quietly and he will proclaim he was forced to which brings it right back to "rigged!"

The time to do it was in the primaries where they could have coalesced around one guy not named Cruz or Trump. They didn't and now they have to write this election off. The establishment needs to wait it out and when it's a blow out wrestle control of the party back. They didn't learn anything from the Tea Party stuff and they are paying for it.
