The republican establishment did everything they could to stop him. People knew this and only that added to his success.

Like followers of a certain Third Way candidate, his followers simply ignore all criticism of him as being invalid. To them, for the former, it's all right wing propaganda, for trump it's the "liberal" media or the republican establishment.

trump very well could be elected, of that I've no doubt.
