#UnelectableDonald

I am convinced that Trump’s hard core supporters are difficult (if not impossible) to convince that their candidate/idol is not what they believe he is. Even mental giants such as Newt Gingrich have succumbed to Trump’s siren song.

But they are not a majority. They are not silent either. (Trump’s point being that he wakes non-political people up from their slumber–that the “silent majority” is silent no more. In case you missed that or were denying it.)

Trump is unelectable. #UnelectableDonald.

A vote for Trump is a vote for nothing. A thrown away vote. A birthday card sent to a deceased person. An anniversary card for a divorced couple. A wedding gift to the couple who cancelled their engagement. I could go on, but the uselessness of a vote for Trump can’t be overestimated.

Trump has never achieved a flat majority of votes in any primary.

The ugliness is not in the primaries.  The ugliness starts the day after Trump is nominated.

And it WILL be ugly for the Donald.  He's losing points in the polls every week to Hillary.

I highly doubt North Carolina and Virginia will be in the Republican column in November. 

For North Carolina, Hillary has been taking in a larger share of the African-American population than even Obama.  And she'll reap the benefit of the Trump hate on the Hispanic and women voters.

As for Virginia, Rubio did very well in the northern voting districts, which look to be made up of the #NeverTrump crowd.  So they aren't going to vote for Trump in the best case... and in the worst, a large chunk of the Republican voter base in Virginia will vote for Hillary.  Couple that with the trends from North Carolina and she'll take Virginia pretty easily.

On the other hand, I see West Virginia voting for Trump.  The majority of voters there fit his classic voter profile.

The GOP is never going to give the nomination to Ted Cruz.

OK, well Trump claims he is such a great closer, let's see him do it.  I predict he will lose Wisconsin, and after that he will deflate big time as everyone realizes he cannot get to his number.  By the time the convention rolls around, the consensus opinion in the party will be that he has no chance to beat Hitlery.
