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.
Trump was unelectable from day one. The NR magazine issue was a response to him being unelectable, not the cause of it.
I am laughing at your superior tone, oh enlightened trumpbot. So the GOPe should have fixed on trump, booted the rest of the candidates and presented Trump to us run of the mill generic republican voters as a fait accompli? Do we have no say? Trump was never my choice nor the choice of anyone I know, so you’re mad that the party didn’t ram him down our throats just because 37% of you want him?
so are you excusing his ridiculously childish behavior because it’s 2 mo later? how does that make sense. he’s LOSING voters because of it, the field has narrowed and he should be trying to attract the rest of us. Twitter meltdowns and position changing every few minutes isn’t going to do it.
