You're far too pessimistic, Min. This isn't the general election yet. There are always going to be loonballs and if anything, they help sound the alarm against a guy like Trump.
You know one of reasons Romney did so poorly in 2012? It was how badly he fared with the Hispanic vote. Trump will do even worse. He may do a little better with the black vote because the guys tend to be sexist but not much assuming Hillary is the Democratic nominee. The blacks love the Clintons. He may do better with white, sexist males but Hillary will do even better with females than Obama did. Trump has no chance at all in the general election. Don't fear him. Embrace him as the guy who will shake up the Republican party, wake them up to the fact that they have to change their ways.
Jefferson was right. Trump isn't the future of the Republican party (and certainly not the nation). He's the canary in the coal mine that sounds the warning that something is seriously wrong. He'll force the Republican party to change. You aren't viable as constituted if the only people on your side are lunatics.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
