At the voter level, I guess. At the national political level? Sorry.


I just don't buy it. The alarm bells were going off on Trump well before Christie got out of the race. By the time he had wrapped up the nomination plenty of smart Republicans were screaming about what a disaster he would be. I have a really hard time believing that the insiders in Washington didn't know, because I sure did. I mean, Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy and friends said they thought he was taking money from Russia when they were speaking privately. Whatever wool Trump was able to pull over the eyes of the median Republican voter shouldn't have been enough to fool anybody deserving of elected office. The party just decided to try to thread the needle and hope he would lose small while they preserved congressional power. Instead he won and we're all the worse for it.
