You, I, and all of America, got exceptionally lucky that our President has acted as he has thus far (with occasional exceptions)... but that does not mean that in 2015-16 that he was a clear choice for those wishing to restore the nation. He was a hyper-wealthy D-list celebrity with a loud mouth occasionally spouting the right buzzwords, nothing more. There are plenty of those around, and most would be horrible choices for President (Mark Cuban, the Kardashians, etc).
Actually, now that you asked, I thought initially candidate Trump announcement was a joke. I was initially for Scott Walker, but he went full RINO... It was the first Phoenix, AZ rally, (Jul 11, 2015) when candidate Trump turned the stage over to the people whose loved ones were slaughtered by Obama and lying Ryan's illegals... No other GOPe candidate would have turned their stage over to a Jamiel Shaw Sr., and it was then and there I knew candidate Trump was different.

You were not paying attention to Trump rallies. Yeah, he was so 'rich' he funded his own campaign... that in and of itself dispelled any suggestion he was a typical 'rich' liberal or RINO... The rest of the candidates were out begging for dollars so they could be somebody.
Not posted to me, but what do you mean, "Lack of any track record"?
