And yet part of what accounts for the rise of Trump is the fact that there were simply too many Republicans running for the nomination. This is still the problem. If there was a head-to-head, one-on-one Trump versus Cruz, or Trump versus Rubio, Trump likely falls well short. The problem now is going to be voters who simply give up, believe the news that it is all over, even though 67% of the states have not voted yet. Carson dropping out will help, but with Kasich still running and Cruz and Rubio, the anti-Trump vote is still diluted too much to do any good.
Whether it was Obama, Bush, Reagan, or even Bill Clinton, when they spoke on television, you may or may not agree with what they were saying, but you didn’t have to keep your finger hovering over the mute button out of fear your kids might hear the president say something vulgar or disgusting. That wouldn’t be the case with Trump. Of course I don’t believe he has any shot at defeating Hillary, but the fact that Trump would be the nominee says more about the populace than it does about him.
