What is being missed by the groups out protesting as they post pictures of their massive crowds, is that those crowds are lily white. The women's march was really the white women's march. The tax march was really the white people's tax march. While white people are losing their shit over catching Trump in lies, flip flops, and tax returns, and sharing their hot takes on facebook, the part of the left base that needs to be activated doesn't give a shit and nobody is noticing.
I don't know what your post has to do with the OP but I'll bite. My daughter and I were at the Tax Day March and we're going to the March for Science. She's half Mexican, does that count?

In regards to the OP, I think OP is assuming that more people are reacting to Trump the way he/she is than is actually the case. I used to think I was part of a bloc of maybe 30-40% of the republican party. That there were religious nuts, and weirdo libertarians, but mostly, it was reasonable people who wanted government to provide a practical structure for society to run in.
I realized in 2012, when Mitt, who is a competent intelligent man, was polling at 12%, and the other 88% was going to an assortment of some of the fucking wackiest wackos imaginable. An 8-8-8 pizza guy. Rick Perry. That lady with the weird face. Cruz. Huckabee. Just a wide assortment of people who should very very obviously not be in charge of anything. At that point, I realized that I wasn't representative of 40%. I was probably representative of closer to 5-10%.
The Left has a similar problem. There is, my guess, about 20% of the country that thinks they are 55% and acts like they are 80%. So when OP says "This is going to kill Trump", I think he is vastly overestimating how much of the country he/she represents.
