I think that everyone saw him as an easy candidate to beat. The GOP basically invited him to run as a Republican because they figured it was better to avoid a third-party run by having him lose in the GOP primaries. And to be honest, I don't think Trump himself was serious about it until the GOP front runners started to self-destruct and he won some early states and winning suddenly became a possibility. As his odds improved, the GOP must have been cursing its bad luck-- they knew Clinton had so much baggage that she was definitely beatable, but all they had left was Trump or Ted Cruz (who may be more disliked within his party than Trump... or Clinton). Even after he won the nomination, many in the GOP kept taking shots at him or openly plotting ways to sink his candidacy. They may be putting up a "united" front now, but that's because they've got no choice-- four years of Trump means at least one Supreme Court seat filled by a conservative judge, and maybe more. And that will resonate far longer than the four or eight years Trump might serve.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
