How is Trump the best my party could come up with? Are you kidding me.
He was a product of the perfect storm. People were opening their eyes that Republicans in Washington were puppets, and did not represent their values even though they had an "R" next to their name. Trump's rise was an emotional, kneejerk outburst by a large segment of the Republicans who were sick of the status quo. The Democrats had that same figure in Bernie, but they were more successful in wiping him out.

Remember, Jeb Bush was the favorite to win this in the beginning with his $114 million war chest. It was supposed to be Bush vs. Clinton. That's why Trump hit him first. You cut of the head of the Republican party, and the rest of the body will eventually die.
