In October he said Trump was either doomed or invincible. But he still wasn't sold on Trump as the nominee, and he thought that as people dropped out the anti-Trump people would consolidate.

Who knows, maybe that would have been true. There were still so many people in the race when voting began. How different might it be if there were only 2 or 3?

But Trump is more likely to “transform the electoral map” by turning red states blue, rather than the other way around.

Holding on to this hope (quote from article)
