Trump is going to be nominee whether or not GOP likes it. But saying he is unnominatable is false. Dems are rooting for Trump; easiest to beat.

Which is exactly how Rick Santorum got the nomination in 2012. Oh wait...

Are you seriously comparing a candidate whose campaign was basically bankrupt and had no way of capitalizing on his surprise Iowa win except relying on SuperPac cash to Trump, a man of basically infinite financial resources?

Am I comparing two candidates that both led in the polls but had no chance at the nomination? Yes.

Did Santorum get 24 millions viewers to watch his debate performances? Did Santorum have billions of dollars to throw at the race? Also, Santorum's campaign virtually ended when he sounded as if he was calling Obama the n-word; Trump's campaign goes from strength to strength every time he makes an un-PC remark.

The problem with this forum is that it contains so few posters from 'Real America'. No way, in the minds of the rich liberal elite, could America ever elect such an offensive oaf. Wrong. It happened as recently as 1980 (remember that MS speech?) and it can happen again.
Your first paragraph is spot on and I have nothing really to argue with you about there.

Your second paragraph has flaws. Reagan is an offensive oaf? Obama is more offensive than Reagan ever was. Secondly, Hispanics in New Mexico, Colorado, Florida, and Nevada wouldn't give Trump enough votes in those states to win in a general election.  Also Trump has to pick up enough Black Voters in Ohio and Virginia to put him over the top there and its not gonna happen. I do think right-leaning indies as a whole dislike Trump as well just like they went against the Republicans in 2006 and 2008.  I do agree that Trump is offensive though and I would never vote for him because he is anti-Mexican and and his comment about Megyn Kelly(has blood coming out everywhere) sounded anti-woman.

The GOP/Fox News machine humoring Trump's insane ramblings during the Obama years is rearing its ugly head now. Nothing he can say will turn off his fans because they've been conditioned to believe he's just the only one willing to speak THE TRUTH!!!! They've created this monster and now there's nothing they can do to stop it!
Fox News created "The Trump Phenomenon"? The media as a whole created "The  Trump Phenomenon".

Anyone comparing Cain or Bachmann to Trump is completely out of touch.
Please Explain and go into detail....
