If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed. And we will deserve it.

He was talking about losing the election, and they didn't lose that election, so I'm not sure I can give credit to this as prophetic. Quite frankly it's a bit early to give Haley credit for hers either, so you're not really reassuring me here.

I believe people can be right for the wrong reasons. As I recall, political analysts were repeating that this would be true regardless of if he won

Irony can be Sophoclean. Someone can be more right than they meant to be.
