Donald Trump was winning that Republican nomination no matter what.
This is pure leftist cope.
Doesn't that make your post just another dumb righty banging the pots and pans together so they don't hear the conversation and thus risk understanding something their pastor didn't tell them? Remember, you set up this paradigm.
Donald Trump entered a wide open primary with 17 other candidate. Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, Ben Carson, and John Kasich all had either the lead or second place in early polling at one point or another. We can laugh at them now, having seen what Trump did to them, but at the time rach was a party leader and legitimate contender.
Trump was viewed by the left as a disruptor, an agent of chaos, and most thought he was a clown with zero electability. He would say and do outrageous things, and made the GOP look silly in comparison to the DNC's coronation of Hillary.
Every news article about Trump got clicks. Every tv outlet that talked about him saw ratings rise. He was fucking everywhere in that summer, and he barely had to spend a dime. When he started rising in the polls, and the donations came in, Democrats thought it was the funny shit they ever saw. Independents in open primaries like New Hampshire were being told to cast a ballot for Trump, because wouldn't that just be hysterical if he won.
Hillary didn't even campaign in republican states. The DNC chose the most lackluster, boring, non-person candidate to run for them and killed Bernie's campaign to make her look better (which didn't work).
This isn't cope, Hillary was just a fucking terrible candidate all around and should never have been given the opportunity to run. She literally was just a woman and that was the only draw. The DNC effectively gave trump the presidency in 2016.
But also internationally respected, experienced, former Secretary of State and target of 30+ years of Reeepub propaganda.
Yeah she was so respected that her husband was invited out to little saint James for a "celebration."
She fucking sucked dude
