One might wonder how he would have fared and come across without all those old white male Senators and other Rethugs force-feeding him talking points (that he clearly did not understand).

candidates: Are they trolling us? Are they purposely trying to lose? Maybe they're being blackmailed into running but don't really want to win?

It may sound silly to some, but stuff like this does matter and especially right now.

Guys like Walker and Oz parrot the craziest Trump talking points, are in no way qualified to hold any office, but when the votes were counted they did what was expected of them and conceded. That helps show that it really is Trump that is the outlier who believes in nothing. It gives me some hope that we really do have a path forward when he is completely out of the picture to return to some type of normalcy. Maybe I am being too optimistic.
