I wouldn't really say that. I knew Trump was going to win due to the weak campaign that Hillary was running. Why would you only campaign in 38 states especially if your opponent campaigned in all 50? Course unlike other Republican voters I know, I didn't even vote for the guy.
I think Hitlery didn't campaign, because she can barely stand for more than a few minutes. Like everyone else, I didn't think trump could win, until about the last month or so.
By the way, Ben Shapiro, (a big never-trumper early-on) just flipped. I think that's the last of the actual conservatives.
As of now, the remnants of the "Never Trump" conservative movement (ie Mccain & company) are nothing like the original Never-Trumpers, that had good justifications. The ones that are left are almost entirely openly supporting democrats, liberal causes, and are openly plotting against any conservative supreme court pick. There are a couple exceptions, but 95% have basically just morphed into democrats.
So in this respect, I think that the Never-Trumper movement is a good thing... kinda cathartic.
