You seem to think the GOP was put together, before Trump. Nothing could be more wrong and clearly indicates you have no f**king idea what is going on.
All you had to do was run a sane ticket like Kasich/Rubio. That's it. The Democrats gave you the White House on a silver platter.
But no, talk radio and Breitbart worked you into such a lather that you decided Trump was a great idea. Kasich and Rubio are now radical left wing pinko commie RINO Stalinist Marxist communist socialist transsexuals who want to turn America into Cuba, so they're the enemy.
Okay, your call. But a loss wouldn't be due to rigging, it would be due to conservative media.

Bull shit. You don't have clue.
Trump is consequence of a R voters pissed off at being lied to and deceived by idiots like W, McCant, and Little Mitt...and a corrupt ineffective lying R congress. Most of whom are progs, just as are Kasich and Rubio.
Your entire premise is deluded. Many Americans are feed up with the political class. Trump is a consequence of this.
Well, we agree that he's a consequence.

Okay...now tell me what you think the cause is.
I did, in Post 8. Conservative media convinced about 35% of the party that everyone but Trump as a RINO (somehow) and that "The Establishment" was evil and that "it" had to be taken down. So that's what happened.
Now, conservative media sees what it did and has determined the only way to not lose is to paint Hillary as evil personified so that enough people will be afraid of her and vote for Trump. I can see that strategy, since Trump is a national embarrassment. And, with Trump's numbers consistently around 40%, it looks like the tactic has attracted around 20 or 25% of the other available voters.
I know you won't agree with any of this, and that's okay. My only concern is that we badly need two strong, serious national parties to keep each other in check, and the GOP is currently in three pieces at a time when the Democrats are running a terrible candidate.
But the weird part is this happy dance Trump's supporters are doing around the ruins of the party, as if the Democrats are going to pause and wait for the GOP to get its shit together. They are not going to pause, they're going to take FULL advantage of this by painting the whole GOP as Trumpsters.
