Ok ... I'll give you the first point. On the second point, I don't think it's a matter of GOPers being sore losers as much as GOPers realizing that Trump will be equally as disastrous as Hillary.
No woman would vote for a sexual predator enabler, but neither would any woman vote for a male chauvinist who demoralizes and degrades women.
Trump v. Clinton --- I can't think of a more devestating election. I can't help but look back six months ago at how positive things looked for the GOP when we had 17 candidates to chose from; including outsiders, and young and new candidates. Any way you cut it, Trump chiseled away at them one by one, while virtually leaving Hillary alone. The writing on the wall has never been so obvious. Trump's objective was to take down the GOP and pave the way for Hillary.
Doubt this, but if it's true Donald had a lot of help:
1) his idiot voters
2) various "anti-GOPe" conservative media blowhards like Hannity and drug-addict limpballs, Ingraham, even Levin at first
3) slimy sleazy opportunistic politicians like Christie, Ben carson Gingrich, etc.
4) media giving him 24/7 coverage
5) other candidates, even Ted Cruz, who could not praise the guy enough, look it up and weep.
A bunch of fools and idiots who wanted to be seen as "anti-GOPe" and made horse's asses of themselves in the process.
