Plus just think about his coalition for a second. You have the evangelicals, strongly pro-Israel and anti gay rights; you have the alt-right, strongly anti-semetic and pro gay rights; and then you have the people who simply hate Hillary, who know Trump is a disaster but hate her more so they justify it. I said it way back when in the primaries, but Trump can run to the left of any position Bernie had and he'd be fine. They are just convinced he is their savior, they are very weak people who are easy to prey on because of their fear and desperation, much of it unfounded. He won the GOP nomination with a path that has been there for years. That path is probably the thing that splinters the party and makes an unelectable party even less electable. Thankfully for them they have gerrymandering so they can continue obstructing at will until people finally have enough.
I don't know.. something has changed. I don't think he would have beaten McCain or Romney taking that path, heck he was too scared to run in 2012. The Republican party over the last 4 years alone has gone to far that this path is only now available.
