The big question is how does Trump win? He lost 70% of the votes. It is hard to see his popularity getting to 50%. Instead, the ‘no to Trump’ sector will consolidate.

He “lost” 66% of the votes in a crowded field. I keep seeing this, but the rebuttal is that every other Republican candidate fared worse. It’s not a realistic assessment. Trump is not the perfect candidate, but none of them are. Any of them would be better than Sanders or Clinton, that’s the floor. Is the electorate as a whole persuaded of this? That’s the big question.

Same logic goes for Cruz.
