I a crowded field 20% is a “majority.” Trump has no national appeal. When the Republican platform narrows and many of them peel off, watch Trump’s numbers plummet. Trump has hit his ceiling.

Whoa there. You just conflated primaries and general into the same statement.
There is hypocrisy afoot. (R)epublicrats are calling him a fake, a democrat, not a conservative, not a Republican, while simultaneously saying he has no national appeal!
What we don't know is what his specific (R) party appeal is, and that is what the primaries are for, and it is exactly why the establishment wanted to kneecap him at each step: saying attacked Mexicans, attacked McCain/Vets, keep him out of the debates, kick him out of the party, dirty tricks to kill him in the womb. They do not want to go through the primary process to actually find out how many (R) will accept him. This is because the dirty little secret is out: our (R) friends are just as nasty and partisan and close minded as our (D)ummy friends.
What we do know, in spades is that he has "national" appeal. The only way you wouldn't know this is if you have dived into your bunker a month ago and pulled the doors shut behind you. His "national" appeal is evident everywhere because it sure ain't just (R)epublicans flooding every forum ( I mean EVERY single one ), and every media outlet, radio, TV, online and every possible poll. It is wide and far. That *is* literally the definition of "national" appeal. It is cross party appeal.
The very thing that partisan (R) hacks despise is that he is NOT a partisan (R) hack. I'm from the same place and he has been pretty much party agnostic, especially for New York where party hacks like Cuomo and Koch and Rockefeller are well defined. He is hated by both because he is neither an (R) or (D) party hack. He is called a "switch-hitter" or an "opportunist" by them. THAT IS HIS VERY STRENGTH. That is why it is laughable to say he has no national appeal.
What we will find out is whether the (R)etard party will accept him and back him. That's the real question. They are throwing every thing they have at him. They want to create another outcast like Perot so that when they lose again they will have another convenient but FALSE scapegoat.

Have to reply to this quote a 2nd time.
Just saw Krauthammer at 6:45pm EST Friday on Brett Baer say almost those exact words.
You're not Krauthammer are you? Are you copying that from somewhere? ( not a criticism, just wondering ).
