You are correct, but I sense in your review that you think Cruz or Rubio could have won. I thought early on that ANY GOP candidate could beat Cankles, but seeing how they went after Trump, I don’t think anyone but Trump could have survived.
They would have had seventeen mistresses out for Ted-—whether or not a single one was true. They would have hung Rubio’s debt problems around his neck. The difference is, both those guys at some point would have gone soft, apologized, or otherwise caved. Not Trump.
But I agree, the media and Dems all thought Trump would be easy to beat because as always, they didn’t pay attention to what the voters really wanted.
I wonder if Trump will remain resistant to the continuous barrage of personal and job-related attacks. If anyone can, it will be him. But it has to be tiring and somewhat ego-deflating.
