If it drives you crazy that the Republican Party nominated Donald Trump, you have to at least remember this: Party leaders, elected officials and top donors did not work together to clear the field and ensure that Trump would be nominated. Trump won the nomination like it or not - and for the most part, the GOP establishment did not - by winning voters in freely contested primaries and caucuses, over 16 other candidates who ran just as hard and were afforded just as fair an opportunity.
The same cannot be said for the Democrats and Hillary Clinton. For eight years, the Clinton-controlled DNC apparatus worked to clear the field for Hillary, making it clear to anyone who might dare to challenge the queen that there would be hell to pay if they went Obama on her and denied her the birthright she was obsessed with claiming. We know from the DNC's hacked e-mails that party officials were putting their thumbs on the scales for her while Bernie Sanders was in the race.
