Do you remember how everyone liked him in his previous runs in the primaries?
Neither does anyone else. He was openly laughed at, accused of doing it just to promote his show.
It's just like laonsite saud, Trump has been a joke in NYC llllllllllllonnnnng before the rest of America heard of him. And this was when he was the pro-abortionist registered Democrat lib. Not to mention, he wasn't as openly battshit crazy as now, tried to hide it.
And yes, he acted as his own publicity agent, disguising his voice, promoting himself and booking slots on everything.
He lost by 89% here for a reason, and if you think it was because of party, just ask former Mayors Giuliani or Bloomberg.
