His goal isn't necessarily to replace Trump on the 2020 ticket -- though that would be the ultimate. His more realistic goal is to run primaries in strategic states to weaken Trump.

What took them so long? They were making money, and not just the tax-cuts. That is all they care about. They see what is inevitable in the next year or so, and know Trump can only make it worse. Remember that even George W Bush handed the reins to candidate Obama in 2008, because even Bush or McCain couldn't handle the problems in the economy. Now think of Trump -- far less capable, and refusing to listen to advice from anyone but Lou Dobbs. That's not good.
