(8,852 posts)If you take into account that Trump has very limited appeal, mainly angry white racist people it is hard to see how he could win. He is despised by the african american and latino community, alienated so many women that many moderate republican woman are considering voting for Hillary. He would be a disaster as a commander in chief which will make even more people vote against him.
On top of that, he will face Hillary and Obama's political machines which will guarantee a massive GOTV effort and lots of money. Trump has yet to build a coherent political structure to run a general election campaign since he can not self finance a GE run. He needs to start raising money. However he has upset the GOP leadership which means he wont get enough help from them. Many of Bush's et al donors will sit on their hands or even donate for Hillary. etc..
Furthermore, he has a metric ton of baggage that has not been exploited by the media but will be by the democrats. Anybody with a modicum of political acumen realizes he is toast. Cruz was more worrisome, Kasich might even have won. Among you list is Florida. Hillary is currently a double digit favorite there against trump. Both Hillary or Bernie will wipe the floor with Trump.
