Analysis: Will Republicans stick with lame-duck Trump?

Imagine you're playing a game with your friends, and everyone agrees to follow the rules, but one friend keeps breaking them, even when they're supposed to be fair. That's like lame-duck Trump, he’s still in the game, but people aren’t sure if he’ll play by the rules anymore.

A lame-duck leader is someone who is still in charge, but not everyone believes they're going to stay fair. It's like when you’re the captain of your team, but no one thinks you’ll help win the game, they think you might just want to make sure you get the most candy.

Some people on Republicans' team still support Trump, they think he’s a strong leader who can help them win more games. But others are tired of his tricky moves and aren’t sure if they want to keep playing by his rules.

It's like when you're choosing which team to be on in a game: some friends want to stick with the bossy captain, but others would rather pick someone new who plays fairly, even if that means losing a few games.
