The shock to me was the piss poor performance of the Republican candidates and the fact that the Dems ran Hillary against him.
Just a sad state of affairs. Going to get worse before it gets better.

I have to throw in a comment. That's just complete nonsense. Trump's brand has already made him a fortune, there was no need to improve it.
I don't remember the exact year but, during one of the
White House Correspondents' Association Dinners, where they all "roast" each other
, Obama really went after Trump, who was in attendance, and Trump was not happy about it. Trump decided that night to run for President...as much as anything to show them just how big of a bigshot he is. That's why Trump ran for President. And if you think he didn't run to win, you are mistaken.
