It seems that the GOP had gotten to the point of “rather dead than Dem” phase when Obama won, and decided to pick someone purely on name recognition. And Trump certainly has name recognition. It’s those people who checked would find that most of that is notoriety.
I think it’s also interesting that I’m finding reports of GOP local candidates that scrubbed Trump from their website after they won their primaries. Now they got the MAGAots convinced, they are hoping to draw in SOME of the Dems that can give them the edge at the general election.
