Haven't heard the latest, though I hear that Moore, while not taking anything back about Trump, is getting shrill and hard line on some specific issues, perhaps as a means of distracting criticism or re-establishing his conservative credentials. If Moore gets pushed out, it will split the SBC, not down the middle, but it will lose most of what remains of its younger, more progressive wing, those who have abandoned sacred cows for the sake of evangelism and church growth, and the vast majority of its growing segment of ethnic congregations. I'm not sure that Moore will get pushed out, though.
Actually Dave Miller, who blogs frequently on SBC Voices, has a pretty good handle on this.
