This election was handed to us on a silver platter. If we nominate Trump and lose, we have no one to blame but ourselves. And, I think there are plenty of candidates who can appeal to two of the three groups, but finding one who will appeal to all three is the challenge.
You keep saying this, but you don't realize that Trump is the only Republican who can possibly win the election against Hillary. No other candidate currently in the race could do it.

Trump is the only Republican in the race who can't possibly win the election against Hillary.
So explain please explain how all these supposed other candidates would beat Hillary yet they couldn't beat the supposed awful candidate among their own party? Did you forget the voters actually voted during the primaries?
Cruz = couldn't even win in the south against a NY billionaire who says he never asks for forgiveness?
Rubio = boy wonder who just got crushed in his home state to the above .. not that he couldn't win before that anyway.
Jeb Bush = Awful low energy loser who makes Hillary look 30 years younger
Kasich = Pastel 1990's rhino who has spent most of his campaign in 3rd,4Th place. he did win Ohio but the fact that he actually had to fight for state hes sitting gov of with a 60% approval rating is telling.
Of course The polls will show Trump losing in the GE is own party has spent millions on neg ads and even double teaming during debates ... If Cruz or Kasich had that turned on them you wouldn't be referring to those polls.
The general election has different people voting in it than the Republican primary (lots more of them for starters), and it is a head to head race. Trump has received about 7.5 million votes so far and it will take around 60 million to be elected president. Shockingly in the process of attacking pretty much everyone who isn't among his core group of supporteds, he MIGHT have alienated some people. You seem to be operating under the assumption that Trump can simply flip a switch and all of that will go away if he wins the nomination. But he can't just wave a magic wand and take back the zillion crazy things he's said on the campaign trail no matter how many billions of dollars he spends on advertising. Some folks have an attention span and memory longer than the ten minutes it takes Trump to switch from one position to the next. His disapproval rating is somewhere in the mid 60s right now. To think that because he has the biggest cult following it makes him the best presidential candidate in a general election is utter delusion. Votes aren't worth a bonus if you beat up a protestor first. Trump loves to cite the polls if they show him winning, but for a candidate who shouts about how well he's doing in them, he sure is ignoring the inconvenient part: the general election. A vote for Trump in the primary is a vote for Hillary. Why else do you think all the left wing trolls and Democratic apparatchiks on here have been talking up Trump for months? They couldn't be happier to run against him! Why is it so hard for his koolaid drinkers to figure out?
