Does anyone even remember Trump pre-2015? The guy was a joke and his show on tv sucked ass and all his brands failed. (hexbear.net)

that was explicitly the strategy of the Clinton campaign. pied piper. email leaks confirmed that later. they figured if they could get a clown as the republican nomination it would be easy for Hillary to win.

Yup. Fun fact: Nixon did something similar with George Wallace.

Oh, and reminder, Donald Trump didn't announce his run until June 16, 2015.

If iirc the Republicans messed with the Democrats primaries and tricked them into choosing Mcgovern because he was the weakest Democrat candidate. Wallace was a huge POS who ended up getting shot in the neck later on.
