      With the general election now clearer, liberals have to deal with the threat that Trump could beat Clinton.

      At a minimum, Trump v. Clinton will be closer than Romney v. Obama was, and that election was settled with a difference of only 4%.

      And Obama's win required turning some formerly Red states Blue, so Democrats are vulnerable to even slightly reduced voter turnout.

      With that as background, look at the candidates. Trump is one of the greatest campaigners of this political era. Clinton is not.

      As @sadydoyle notes, people love Clinton when she's in office (69% approval at State) but not when she's running. http://qz.com/624346/america-loves-women-like-hillary-clinton-as-long-as-theyre-not-asking-for-a-promotion/ …

      Trump is the reverse. He is a terrible leader, but a brilliant -- potentially world-changingly brilliant -- campaigner.

          Donald Trump out-campaigned more than a dozen GOP challengers while speaking off the cuff, an achievement with no modern precedent.

          Liberals miss this, because we search his speeches for ideas. But Trump's not a statesman or a policy wonk. He's an orator and a demagogue.
