It happened because of rule number two in life, most people are stupid. Trump's PT Barnum campaign weakened the true conservative branch of the GOP. His childish attacks on the conservatives in the race damaged the reputation of some true conservatives (Ted Cruz, etc.) to the point that it diminished their chances of ever getting elected therefore making the Dems more appealing. Like it or not (I don't especially like it myself) politics in this country is a two party system and either you help your team or hurt them. DJT hurt them. As much as the Trumper's love their repulsive leader the left and center hate him. Trumper's have lost sight of the big picture. Just to be clear I am no fan of either party but when faced with only two viable choices the GOP is in line with my views way more than the Dems. Cutting off your nose to spite your face only means some one else is going to win most attractive. It does not help your cause at all. On a side note referring to another post McConnell is a ball less hick from Kentucky and Romney is a RINO. Having said that Romney could have beat Uncle Joe although I don't know which is worse. Before some one ask me since I apparently hate everyone who would I support? In a world that is long gone where people would actually think for themselves and appreciate ability over reality TV stunts, the former congressman from SC Trey Gowdy would be on the top of my list.
