In reply to the discussion: Trump originals say they're getting frozen out [View all]Bradical79
(4,490 posts)24. For the most part, they were morons.
In my opinion, Trump got elected despite these idiots, not because of them. The GOP establishment laid out the groundwork over the previous decades, and then Trump was pushed over the goal line by a combination of mainstream news outlets putting ratings first, Russian hackers, and the FBI. Other than Bannon getting the white suppremicists on board, and his people with Russian connections, I can't think of anything his team actually did to help him win.

If Trump had kept them on, he'd have lost. He took on Bannon and away he went.
