“which is PRECISELY why Trump resonates with the voters”
Primary or general? Because, despite the belief of many here, he has very high negatives amongst the electorate.
He could still win. But he’ll have to turn that around somehow
Ronald Reagan did too
Note Trump started the primary season with really high negatives in the republican electorate....after they see him and hear him that changes...That is more than a little unheard of.
Do not think that Clinton is a lock.....there is a sea change a moving
It isn't as though Trump would be running against an opponent who is particularly well-liked or trusted by independents or swing voters. Even putting her legal problems aside, Hillary makes a stranded carp look charismatic. As long as GOP establishment types don't defect and vote for Hillary out of spite (as some have already threatened to do), his chances are good.
