Trump, on the other hand...has his entire party establishment as his "Haters".
George Will said over the weekend that it is the job of the entire GOP to make sure that Trump LOSES all 50 states!!!!
And Bill Crystal is calling for a "true conservative" to run a third party candidacy in the general election to make sure Trump can't win.
So Trump has had to overcome his own party's political machine and fight off the Koch brothers...just to get to the general election.
It's truly historic.
Trump is a unicorn. We have never seen and will never see again in our lifetime a guy like him.
He has the big personality, the vision (whether you agree with it or not), and the money to actually tell the Koch Brothers and all the other people in the "Donor Class" to fuck off.
If he doesn't win....the establishment will have forever silenced the people and we will watch the country continue to go down the drain.
If Hillary wins, the establishment will have finished off any hope of real change in this country in our lifetimes.

If you believe that the only haters HC has had are republicans, then you, Sir, have never visited the Sanders Reddit! Plus look right below your post - there sits another Hillary Hater, claiming to be a democrat.
The real test thing works both ways; neither has Mr. T been tested. Ted Cruz got started last night, after it was clear he would get his deluded ass kicked.
Yes, Trump has outfoxed people so far - journalists - insular turds who don't know their ass from a hole in the ground. And damn is he funny! And I'll give you the Jamiel Shaw partnership is the best thing I've ever seen a politician do besides Bill Clinton.
But 240 delegates are from states that have voted democrat for 20 years. Republicans have 180. Can Trump change every swing state? Look at these stats from 2012:
Electoral vote
D: 332 R:206
States carried
D: 26 + DC R:24
Popular vote
D: 65,915,796 R: 60,933,500
Percentage
D: 51.1% R: 47.2%
Obama won by 126 electoral votes with only a 4% popular vote margin. He won only a few more states. Now, granted, Romney was a huge douche who everyone hated, and an idiot cultist to boot, but on the other side was a politician people hate worse than Clinton, they just won't admit it.
I'm not saying Trump won't win. He is the only candidate Clinton wouldn't crush. He is the only candidate that would keep me, a Clinton supporter, from calling the race.
I am just looking forward to seeing if Trump can continue to do this magic. I know what a Clinton can do.
