You think Trump is for you so one would think your bar for that is pretty low.
Trump's got enough moxie and grit that he would have been something even if his Dad wasn't rich.
Murkowski's only a Senator because her Dad looked the great state of Alaska over and saw her as the best the Last Frontier had to offer. (Frank Murkowski got elected to the Senate, and then to the Governor's mansion, because he was one of the richest men in Alaska.)
Trump would be in poverty if he wasn't born rich, he's a complete dolt
Complete dolts don't win the Presidency by achieving a Hostile Takeover of the GOP the way Trump did.
He got lucky.
1. No moderates dropped out and coalesced around a non-Trump candidate like the moderates did with Biden and Sanders.
2. He ran against a historically unpopular opponent with 20 years of baggage.
3. He had a foreign power interfere to get him elected.
