In the end, it was the voters of Indiana last week who effectively gave the country the outcome that had loomed for months. The 2016 election is likely to pit Hillary Clinton, who is disliked by a majority of voters, against Donald Trump, disliked by a greater majority of voters.
If the rise of Trump has no obvious precedent, neither does an election like this. Clinton, whose buoyant favorable ratings in the State Department convinced some Democrats that she could win easily, is now viewed as unfavorably as George W. Bush was in his close 2004 reelection bid. Trump is even less liked, with negative ratings among nonwhite voters not seen since the 1964 campaign of Barry Goldwater.

I think most of the Trump hatred is at the comPost editorial desk. And the comPost assumes that everyone else feels like they do. WRONG!
In the Hillary v Trump contest, only one candidate is hated by the Washington insider establishment dinosaurs.
You’ve summed it up brilliantly!
He wasn’t letting himself be defined by them and in the end, they agreed with his statement about the number of actual votes he received by (paraphrasing him, but they quoted him) “smart, hard-working” people.
He’s sticking up for his voters....people dismiss his supporters as low-information morons, but he’s rejecting that. Awesome!
What is the strangest thing about this point in time--that Donald Trump is the de facto nominee of the Republican Party, or that the Cubs are 24 and 6 after 30 games?
Yep, anecdotal but was at a recent family gathering, with 15 millennials, our children and spouses, all of them are voting for Trump, they hate HRC more.
Me too and my Obama voting daughter.
Love his speech after Indiana, "we are going to be such a loving and beautiful country. We are all going to love each other so much."
My husband and I quote that to each other and laugh and laugh.
It does good to see by whom you are hated.
Clara would want to know:
"Where is the flesh of a bovine creature"?
Dang HATERS!
This election will have the lowest voter turnout in a generation or more.
We can tell that Trump is widely hated because no one comes to his rallies. /s
Make that “no one that the GOPe and mainstream media know” come to his rallies.
Hillary is the most hated...especially when Trump outs her. The media protects her and she’s still hated. Wait until the media is no longer in control of Hillary’s message and image.
