This is why Trump remains an enigma to me. The establishment wanted him in the primaries, but then things went haywire. They didn't talk about him like they talked about the controlled opposition. They really hated him, and were willing to risk their credibility to stop him.
I suspect he will be a good guy working as hard as he can within the constraints placed on him.
I feel like there are a lot of politicians who hate Hillary, and to get them in line behind her she threatened them with a person they hated even more than her. Once all of them were backing her they realized that actual voters might enter the equation and everyone lost their shit.
