Trump is a grotesque, and he will lose badly in November. The Trumpsters don’t believe this, but they are drunk on Kool Aid. Everyone else in both parties understands this.
Of course, you’re right about that. People tend to drink deeply of the kool-aid here. I can remember people thinking McCain’s selection of Palin absolutely guaranteed that he would beat Obama. People were certain of it. It’s probably the same fools comparing 1980 to this election when the circumstances are in no way similar. There’s no Iranian hostage crisis to erode Hillary’s numbers for month after month. Trump does not have Reagan’s genial personality to appeal to people once they get to know him better.
The media really hasn’t even started in on Trump yet. We’re going to see a borking like none that’s ever been seen before after Trump gets the nomination.
