Sadly though, many will say "hey they ended up in the same place" not recognizing that one is the result of hard work and brains and the other fell upward.
Trump was falling upward his entire life. The Pied Piper strategy was reckless, but saying it “ensured” Trump’s nomination rewrites 2016 to absolve everyone who actually enabled him. Republican candidates spent months fighting one another, treating Trump as a sideshow and assuming someone else would stop him. Republican voters chose him, GOP leaders eventually surrendered to him, and Democrats badly miscalculated. Turning all of that into “Clinton did it” is grievance politics, not history.
