Julian Zelizer : Many GOP politicians have backed Donald Trump because they see him as useful in helping them retain power.

He says GOP politicians are kidding themselves if they think electing Trump will empower them to achieve GOP policy goals.

Trump will command them to do his bidding, he will persecute them with Department of Justice investigations and/or sic the mob on them, Zelizer says.
