While everyone was laughing about Donald Trump entering this race, and honestly believing that he would be out soon. What exactly happened to elevate him to the top of the ticket, which now looks to be certain he will be the nominee of the party.
Clearly he is not nor ever was qualified to be POTUS,
1. We had 17 candidates enter this race, and Prince Reibus and others decided to use National polling data for pecking order on 1st and 2nd stage, even though they were advised not to, by the pollsters themselves. People who don't know candidates will pick a name that is familiar to them. This was supposedly designed to keep Jeb Bush front and center. What they didn't count on was Donald Trump entering this race who has 100% name recognition.
Pollsters: Don't trust us to winnow GOP field
Flaws in Polling Data Exposed as U.S. Campaign Season Heats Up
2. The media: Covered him 24/7--no other candidate in this race ever received the media attention that Donald Trump received in the 1st few months. This includes FOX news and CNN news coverage.
3. Right wing radio talk shows hosts would not stop talking about Donald Trump, and several were promoting him. They have also incited this anger toward the Republican Party, and exploited this ignorance and bigotry.
Column: Trump exploits rational political ignorance
So all of this is what has produced a Donald Trump GOP nominee.
Now you have at least 30% of the Republican Party that will never cast a vote for Donald Trump. Mitch McConnell has stated they'll dump Trump like a hot rock, as they're concerned about losing the Senate and a ton of seats in the House over down ballot races.
I’ll Take Hillary Clinton Over Donald Trump
Mitt Romney or another 3rd party Republican candidate may jump in here. They're intent is to forfeit the White House to Hillary Clinton, while trying to save the U.S. Senate, the House of Representatives, Governors, and state houses.
McConnell Tells GOP Senators: We’ll Drop Trump ‘Like A Hot Rock’
