Nice try and I have to say the only person to have been able to do so thus far, so I do give you credit. But you’re assuming facts not in evidence ie; that Trump was a sure thing. Trump was never inevitable, and his viability suffers directly from his own flaws. Can one of you possibly acknowledge that his ridiculous behavior has caused people to view him unfavorably. I DID see a supporter either on TV or on Twitter acknowledge that he has a twitter problem. Acknowledging it is the first step to curing it. For every voter he attacts with that kind of childishness he turns off two more.
Acknowledging that the Republicans formed their usual circular firing squad, and failed to pick the brass ring of the presidency lying at their feet, would be your first step to curing your illusions about what's actually going on here.
