      20. The simple fact is the very qualities that make Trump a viable GOP nominee are also toxic to wide swaths of the general electorate.

      21. Leaving aside the the racism & sexism, there is also Trump's business activities.

      22. In 2012 there were extremely effective ads from Newt Gingrich & Dems that painted Romney as a "vulture capitalist" who hurt workers.

      23. Think about the people hurt by Trump's bankruptcies & his dubious Trump University. Would make for many, many ads.

      24. Will Trump get some white working class vote that might go to Dems? Maybe, but not so many after "When Trump Came to Town" ads.

      25. But aside from political vulnerability, there is psychological vulnerability. Trump goes off the handle when he's criticized by a woman

      26. Hillary Clinton would get under Trump's skin & if she's not nominee, Elizabeth Warren, Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer are good surrogates

      27. Trust me on this: guys like Trump psychologically implode when women laugh at them. Wouldn't be hard to find Democratic women to do that

      28. Finally there is argument that Trump will pivot to the center & thus win voters he's currently unpopular with. He'll try but won't work

      29. A pivot to the center would only work if there weren't many videos of Trump denigrating immigrants, women, and out right lying.

      30. Trump's problem is he's too memorable, too colorful, to pivot. Once you hear his Mexican rapists comments you don't forget it.

          31. To put Trump's general elections prospect another way, think about difference between South Carolina GOP electorate & USA population

          @HeerJeet that is why he leads by huge numbers in most blue states...still think Hillary is the best candidate of her generation?

          .@HeerJeet When confronted he shrugs it off. Doesn't get defensive or dance like Rubio/Cruz who fear being pinned down for what they've said

          @HeerJeet @expatina @Maggyw519 I really hope you're right. He has a wacky way of unsaying things he's said &the media don't call him out.

          @HeerJeet Exactly. He will never get back to center. (or close enough to it)
