RNC put together a candidate neutral ground game strategy. Which Trump disavowed when he insulted nearly everyone that held power in the final weeks. The GOP (Paul Ryan) actually asked the RNC to screw Trump and focus completely on down ticket races. Which permitted down ticket Republicans to disavow Trump, which they immediately did. In October, the GOP essentially conceded the Presidential election to Clinton.
