Yeah, but there are some "conservative leaders" who have crept so far out on the ledge that they can't find a way to come back.
They've developed a sort of cottage industry as NeverTrump commentators and writers.
They'll continue that and resist unification, and Trump even acknowledged that in California. But he also sort of dismissed it... which will infuriate them even more.
To think I once sort of admired George Will. To my credit, I always recognized Bill Kristol as a twit.
I hope you have other credits :-)
