I heard an interesting theory.....
Which, according to the way some folks use it to justify their beliefs, as facts....
Then I will say I heard this fact, today.

The repubs did NOT believe Trump would win.
They had no game plan, only blame Obama, as to why they didn't promote and advance a "conservative" agenda.

Then, when Trump won, they got caught flat footed and just repeated Tweeters campaign spew.

I think if we look at the bush promotion of Hillary, it reveals a clue

"promotion of hillary"?  Explain.

As to the rest of your statement, I hate to tell you  - that's nothing new.  Pretty much anyone and everyone in politics has said the same thing.  They were surprised by his win - I still believe that HE was surprised by his win.

Now that this buffoon is in the spotlight, we can all see that he's nothing short of a demagogue.

I'm confident in my belief that he will not finish out his first term.
