A regular Republican never would have a chance, unfortunately for greats like Rand Paul and Kasich, etc.
I dont know what Trump is, more like an independent, and hes a good guy, cares about the country. So the parties have a bit of problem.
Republicans cant run a normal candidate and Democrats cant beat one (sad days)

It’s not because he wasn’t a republican; it’s because he wasn’t a politician.

The divide isn't Republican/Democrat anymore. It's Populist/Elitist. The result is that there is a shift in both parties away from the way things were always done. This is traumatic to the establishment, but empowering to the electorate. Not necessarily a bad thing, you just have to keep your eyes open, and sniff out the shameless opportunists, and hypocrites.

I don't act like anything. I have no reason to. I have no desire to impress or depress you. So my question for you is.. do they feel superior or do you actually feel inferior?

What are you talking about? Trump is a registered Republican and left Democrats ages ago.

A "regular Republican" like Jeb Bush would have simply continued selling us down the river.
That's why we didn't choose a "regular Republican."
Republican voters are not the same as "regular Republican" politicians. It is damn stupid for you to conflate the two.
Rand Paul would have been my second choice, but he's not a "regular Republican" either. If you think Rand Paul is a regular Republican, you haven't been paying attention to Rand Paul.
