Not really surprised.
The problem is-It's been proven over and over and over that when voters are given the chpice between a moderate Republican and Democrat- they will choose the actual Democrat EVERY SINGLE TIME.
What is downright depressing is that much of FR is going to have to learn this all over again too :(
“I heard this. Apparently Trump is really running as a third, perhaps more reasonable candidate, in the Democrat party.”
Except he didn’t run as a Democrat. He certainly had the money to do so. If he’s sooo antithetical to the ideology of right-of-center voters, why is he demolishing the vast majority of “conservatives” and “Republicans” in the primary? Are you really gonna argue that the political Right just doesn’t understand itself or - better yet - understand its leadership?
