He has an unbelievably high Unfavorable rating at somewhere around 70%. His own party doesn't want him, in fact, I believe the GOP fears that Donald Trump may well be the straw that breaks the back.
It's not hard to understand the appeal of a Trump. The Republican congress is so ineffective and obstructionist where nothing gets done and people feel that the whole ball of wax should be kicked out of office because the system is totally broken and anybody, including a bombastic talk show host, can do a better job.
Trump supporters have been duped into the belief that he's an outsider and beholding to nobody in the political arena but nothing can be further from the truth. You can't be a big real estate developer from New York City and not be welded at the hip to the whole political sphere. I'm sure he has made deals with virtually every political figure from meter maids to judges to senators and congressmen. Do you honestly believe someone could build a casino in Atlantic City without greasing every two bit politician who has anything to say about the project? He is afterall dubbed "America’s foremost deal-maker."
How old are you?
The hoard of people lining up to "wish him Merry Christmas" with their hands out will go 2 blocks down Pennsylvania Ave if he becomes President.
