I just think you had 16 flavors but were essentially all vanilla, and one flavor that was mostly nuts and BS that voters slowly moved to in great enough numbers that he was able to pick the other 16 off one by one. Before you knew it the field was down to Trump, Cruz, and Kasich, and the GOP voters displayed their love of nuts... Trump won & Cruz finished 2nd. Pretty sad when Kasich gets beat by 2 whackadoos, as he was the only reasonably sane candidate remaining for the GOP. Apparently sanity is not high on the list of requirements for GOP nominees...

The GE? It may well have been shaped in part by corrupt forces, but the GOP primaries were just an example of GOP craziness, IMHO.
