The "Never Trump" folks and people like George Will and the dipsh**s at National Review have to pray that Trump is not the GOP's next Reagan. They are now invested in his failure, because if he makes the country great again they will be exposed as frauds.
Something to note. In 64' with Goldwater Nixon and Reagan stuck with him to the end and was later awarded for it (both became pres) meanwhile the neverforces Romney etc.. got nothing out of it.
Great point.
As Nixon told Pat Buchanan, if a movement to stop "X" ever comes about, always put your money on "X" to win.
