ROGER SIMON ON THE PJ DRUNKBLOG:
So far the big losers of the evening are the NeverTrumpers. Given how close this election is, if they had shelved their moral narcissism for a while, Trump would have won this thing. Sorry to say this, but they are going to face this if Clinton wins. I’m not going to be the only one saying this. Pompous elitist like John Kasich will have to answer to the working class that clearly prefer Trump.
It’s certainly true that a lot of NeverTrumpers were saying that if Trump were the nominee, he’d lose in a wipeout of Dukakis-like proportions. Not so much, it seems. Win or lose, he’s run a solid campaign. Would he be doing better without the NeverTrumpers? Not clear that they’ve made that big a difference, but they certainly didn’t help.
