Can Trump win?

He's fighting the world. Right-wing blogosphere has teamed up with mainstream media to trash Trump 24/7. I have to say, I have no idea why. Do they think they'll help us if they manage to take out the only conservative who's survived the left's attacks?

Just heard someone on Hannity, didn't catch name, saying Bush still has a real shot. They played down Trump as unelectable. This is where we're once again heading because we can't, to save our lives, unite behind a winning candidate.

Of course.

Anyone who has a strong position isolates part of the electorate, while attracting another part.

Trump had to defeat 16 rivals in this primary, which is still happening. To do that, he had to stand out.

Trump only needs 51% of the 57% who vote in national elections. This is about 29%. He is currently seen favorably by more than 30%.

I suspect those who support trump will passionately go and vote.

I don’t know, but I think we have better candidates then we have voters, Obama still has a 50% approval rating, so the voters are all, screwed up anyway, it looks bad.

Nope.
No one who is having far worse favorability ratings than Hilary Clinton at the peak of the FBI investigation into her crimes is going to win an election against Hilary Clinton. Not to mention Hilary Clinton consistently beats Trump in head to head matchup polls.
