They seem to have believed he was just attempting to win over Trump supporters for the nomination; but trying to outdo someone who, to a large degree, sets the agenda for what their base supports and cares about seems blatantly fruitless and silly, to phrase it kindly.
(Now he’s failed to secure that support and alienated the people who liked him for not being Trump, lol. Poetic in a way.)
The situation would be funny if it wasn't so terrifying.
