Most of all, the Never Trump pundits had a duty to put away childish preoccupation with themselves and realize that every circumstance contains the possibility of better and worse outcomes.
Mr. Trump is not a principled politician in whatever limited sense the word applies in Washington.
The potential for new coalitions to get interesting things done was obvious with his arrival, but it's hard not to suspect the Russia hoax was exactly and deeply what many of Mr. Trump's fans said-a defense by a reckless elite of its own status unrelated to any policy or philosophical goal.
Two months later, in response to a variety of online signs and portents, I had no trouble believing Mr. Putin's trolls were getting behind the Trump boomlet.
Mr. Trump entered the race with the idea of making himself more famous but now a truly democratic phenomenon was in danger of running away with the country.
Adam Schiff, the public face for three years of the Democratic critique of Mr. Trump's alleged Russia ties, a daily presence on cable TV, was unseen at the convention.
Down the memory hole went the Russian conspiracy that for years she and her acolytes had promoted to suggest Mr. Trump was an illegitimate president.
