If you talk to a Trump supporter, they’ll tell you over and over again that Trump is a “winner”. He’s the only one who can defeat Hillary, they say. The only one who can bring Republicans to victory. The only one who can unite the party. It’s completely ludicrous, of course — he’s the most divisive, disliked politician in American history. Outside of his small band of supporters, everyone hates him. (No, literally: everyone hates him.) If by some insane mistake he’s named the Republican nominee, we will be trounced in the general election, even though this election was ours for the taking. And now that it seems all but certain that we’re heading to a contested convention, the Trumpalos have already begun losing their minds over the possibility that their Anointed One won’t be crowned in Cleveland like they want him to be. So they’ve resorted to threats: threats of riots, threats of intimidation, threats of stalking delegates in their hotel rooms. Over at RedState, Caleb Howe has a simple explanation for why this is happening: they know Trump can’t win.
