I think anyone would have to concede that the GOP was NOT on the way to picking an “outsider” before Trump entered the race, and that we all, including Ted Cruz, owe Trump a debt of gratitude for not allowing the GOPe to serve up a Jeb Bush candidacy and manufacture a Clinton-Bush re-run to bring back those neocon glory days of the 1990’sI disagree. The establishment choice (Yeb) was going nowhere and was polling very low well before Trump entered the race. The only thing I will attribute to Trump is that he raised the border/illegal-immigration issue to a level which it had not previously received.
Wrong.
If not for Trump it was going to be Bush VS Hillary Clinton. That was the plan, and Hillary would have been elected. If not for Trump, this is exactly what would have occurred. Nothing would have altered it.
Btw, Trump has done more to change this business as usual corrupt political landscape and bring to the forefront many country killing issues, than any candidate in modern American history.
This includes destructive one sided country looting trade laws, reckless dangerous legal chain immigration policies, and never ending failed foreign polices which cost Americans trillions, which have all but left Middle America dead on the floor.
