Obama nailed it. No need to sugar coat it.

13. much of Trump's nastiest treatment, was directed toward the other republicans

this election started out with Jeb arriving like he was Junior at the family business. Massive financial war chest, journalistic revisionism of the W Bush era propaganda - a shoe-in.

then there was Ted Cruz, a cynic who had locked up the tea party and Evangelical vote

then there was Marco Rubio, an empty suit trading on a play for the Hispanic vote for the Republican party

there was Rand Paul, inheritor of the pot smoking libertarian conservatives, from his father Ron

and Carly Fiorina, a tech executive who united stockholders and workers in their hate of her

and Trump destroyed them all, mercilessly. Don't underestimate that was part of his appeal, a voting population that was mad at everyone, not just immigrants and muslims. They were angry with the *entire* political establishment, *including* Republicans

I think this point gets overlooked
