Likely true. But if Pence has a chance in 2020 at winning the nomination the GOP has no chance of winning the election.
That assumes of course they lose this election which is not something I'm putting money on yet. I hope they do. I really really hope they do but americans be crazy.
The final paragraph of the endorsement from the Atlantic. About as powerful as you can get.

In its founding statement, The Atlantic promised that it would be “the organ of no party or clique,” and our interest here is not to advance the prospects of the Democratic Party, nor to damage those of the Republican Party.... We believe in American democracy, in which individuals from various parties of different ideological stripes can advance their ideas and compete for the affection of voters. But Trump is not a man of ideas. He is a demagogue, a xenophobe, a sexist, a know-nothing, and a liar. He is spectacularly unfit for office, and voters—the statesmen and thinkers of the ballot box—should act in defense of American democracy and elect his opponent.

While these endorsements and chastisements of Trump are nice they should have happened on mass a year ago.
