I remember the ABJECT FEAR here that we’d be stuck with Jeb. Given his money advantage it seemed very possible. The only problem was that the Republican base gets to vote and while they were not initially sure about Trump, they were damn-sure about Jeb and so the rest was history.

I was skeptical of Trump at first. Wrongo.
Also thought Reagan would start WW3.
The world was safer when he left.

It’s even good that ‘41 was in charge and the Soviet Union broke up with all their loose nukes.

GOP voters learned that it was fixed by then, after getting Dole and McCain and Bush and Romney - 4 strikes and you're out.
