Nope. Wishful thinking since Issaccson won both easily. The Never Trumpers need to take ownership and quit looking for scapegoats. They did their best to elect Hillary and they did mange to depressing GOP votes for Trump in GOP strongholds.
Maybe I’m wrong, but it’s not “wishful thinking” because I’m a Never Trumper or a Bushie. If it’s “wishful thinking,” it’s that I think (or would like to think) that the Never Trumpers and the Bushes had a lot less pull than they thought and have been outed as completely irrelevant.
