On his radio show Wednesday, Hannity rather amazingly sought to pre-blame the Republican establishment for a Trump loss in 2016. In short, a Trump loss would provide a little something to bolster everyone's arguments — even if they're in direct opposition to one another. Right now, if you are an establishment Republican, you probably think that Donald Trump is likely to lose badly in November. The GOP establishment will say Trump was simply not electable — that he alienated too many people and opened himself up to charges of being anti-woman, anti-Muslim and even racist. The likes of Hannity and other conservative talkers, though, will blame the GOP establishment for not sufficiently embracing Trump and giving him a chance to succeed.
