The strategy is not to win. It is simply to leach just enough votes from Trump to ensure he does not win. To French, Kristol and the people at Red State, ensuring that Trump does not win trumps the implications of Hillary winning. They do not even care about the implications of a Hillary win on the SCOTUS and such issues - it is simply about Trump not winning.

The failure of the GOP-e not winning (on the likes of Kristol, the Bushes, Romney), and of Cruz not winning (on the likes of French and the posters at Red State), fried some of their circuitry or something akin to that. Some of them have even said the risk of a Trump presidency is greater than that of a Hillary presidency, and that Conservatism would survive better under a Hillary adminstration. It is quite sad to see people lose it that much.

Conservatism has been hijacked by a professional conservative class that makes a living by selling the word while losing all the important conservative issues. Their power and money is threatened for their abject failures. Trump gives conservatism a fighting chance to come back to the American people, and he does not belong to their groups.
