Otherwise you'll have to tell me what Trump is uniquely going to do that a stock GOP candidate would do...
Massive tax cuts and running up huge deficits? All of them
Staunchly against female and minority rights? All of them
Against most business regulations? All of them
Unlimited support for the usual American foreign policy? All of them
End game of a Christian theocracy? All of them
So yeah Ukraine might actually be it. And that sucks for the people of Ukraine, but acting like Trump is some stray actor and not just a mostly standard GOP candidate? Nah.

The most unique thing about Trump is he can do all those things and still win some elections. Generally speaking, running on that platform doesn't win national, or state wide elections in all but the red-ist of states.
The moderate republicans can't win primaries anymore, but the hard right guys can't win general elections. Trump is the big exception to that.
