The story of Trump begins in 2012. Mitt Romney had just lost the election to Barack Obama. The Republicans were stunned. They had spent four years dragging him through the mud and doing their best to block everything he did to paint him as ineffectual, and they didn't lose a close election, they were destroyed.
They spent millions of dollars in consulting fees to find out why. Why was it they lost so hard? The fastest growing demographic is latino voters. If they want to win the next election, they need at least 40% of the latino vote. They got significantly less than that.
So their plan? Appeal to Catholics. They would spend the primary talking about abortion and gay marriage -- the issues that Catholics care about -- and hope that they could pull in the latino vote that way. They would stay away from the issues of the economy and ESPECIALLY immigration.
Then Trump, completely NOT a part of any of those discussions, announced that he was running for President to make America great again. What was the cause of its not being great? Fucking Mexicans coming across the border. They were rapists and murderers.
So thanks to Trump, the Republicans had to talk about the issue they wanted to avoid -- immigration. They CANNOT WIN the election without the latino vote. They simply can't. Trump threw a grenade at the Republican party and fucked them over 16 months before the election. Well done.
