Trump won't win. He has displayed a great ability to take fine ingredients amenable to the polity's taste -- loathing of the system, America First!, "strong on defense" -- and make a shitty dinner of them by his inveterate tendency to speak out of ignorance on matters like social equality, race, gender, and immigration. He has (irremediably, in my opinion) alienated women and minorities. Even if he were to tamp down on his bomb-throwing at this point, which of those groups might re-extend true enough to vote for him?
Add to that his fund-raising woes, and staff disarray and inexperience.
He will not win. If he shuts up, he might narrow the margin, but shutting up is not his style, nor his brand, and will alienate those who like him for "saying it how it is."
He's painted himself into a corner. Hillary has many negatives, but hers are abstract and legal, which the American public doesn't weigh as much as public foolishness.
Trump should be happy, he's gotten farther than Pat Buchanan, the most recent predecessor of this sort of foolishness. But Trump, too, will fail to win the contest.
