Expect she'll endorse him before November, and / or the majority of those "never trumpers" to find some way to justify voting for trump by then.

You can't watch someone say, "If we nominate Trump we will get destroyed and we will deserve it," and spin around and gobble his knob, and expect any consistency from them. Anyone who still considers themselves a Republican at this point is looking for their way to justify voting trump.

This. At the end of the day, these people treat the Republican party like their primary religion. They will say whatever keeps eyes off them so they can do stuff without criticism, but once they're in the ballot box, it's going to be really hard for them to leave that spot blank, let alone to vote for Biden.
