Well, not really the people's choice. While he got more votes than any other contender, he didn't get a plurality. Besides some of his antics, that's plurality fact has made it more difficult for him to solidify his position. But your right to a degree. Some big girl panties need to be put on by some folks.
we can quibble on the semantics. nevertheless, he won more individual contests than any other candidate. he won more votes than any other candidate in the GOP, and he won more votes than any candidate in that party since the primary system was adopted.
his presence arguably boosted interest and voter participation in every place that voted.
if the really dense GOP fake leadership could capitalize on his assets instead of whining about his liabilities, we could be soaring.
Hitlery’s liabilities, if focused upon, are much more negative than Trump’s.
JMHO
“Well, not really the people’s choice.”
He received the most votes ever in a Republican primary. Considering that much/most of what he said and did was unscripted, going against supposedly ‘polished’ politicians, that is remarkable. What is making it difficult for him to ‘solidify his position’ is that the he is being targeted not just by the establishment left and media, but also by unprincipled career politicians in the Republican party who feign principled outrage when in reality they are resentful that he has wrestled control of their little private club away from them.
