They only showed that an outside can win the clown show of a primary. That's it.

These are all reasons some republicans revolted and voted for Trump. There are many republican leaders who think they need to forget the social stuff and just focus on being the party of fiscal responsibility (which, of course, they are not, but they like to fancy themselves as such) because many young people don't share the same social values as them so it is going to be hard to get them into the party. In addition to an angry base, they are having a hell of a time bringing in minority voters on a consistent basis. Until they change their platform to be more inclusive they may find it very hard to win the White House.
