A lot of Trump supporters are Democrats and people who don’t usually vote. If Trump gets the nomination, I predict he wins in a landslide.
Trump will bring in the blue dogs, he’s going to win big in the general. It won’t be 1984, but the midatlantic, upper Midwest, New England lock that dems have had for decades will collapse hard.
Trump is the only candidate who cracks the ec map wide open.
The "rebel factor", the "non acceptance" of Trump by the establishment of his own party is actually going to help him greatly with Democrats and Independents in the general.
Think about it from our side if the situation was reversed. What if we were on our way to nominating a dud of a candidate (i.e. Jebbie Bush) and the Democrats had somebody new and exciting challenging Shrillary Clinton. Somebody who the establishment Democrats hated. Somebody who was his own man, loved America and wanted to do the right things for the country. If that was the case, many of us would be rooting for that man and would vote for him over our own Jebby Bush.
