Both political parties are to blame for Trump's ascendancy to power.
The Republicans field just did not know how to respond to Trump in the primary. They all looked like a bunch of weak kneed incompetents and he made them look like fools. They Just did not know to react to a man who lied all the time and called them names and ridiculed them. They could have pulled the plug on him at the convention, but they did not have the guts to do it. Result---we get an amoral candidate who becomes President.
The Democrats blew their chance with lack of a plan to deal with those in the Rust Belt and rural areas of the country. I personally saw the strategy when I asked a staffer about rural areas during the campaign. The campaign according to him was focused on new voters in the intercity (minorities) and was not going to spend money on other areas. Apparently this was done nationwide and was instrumental in Hillary's loss.
