Why Trump Is So Hard to Beat

Nate Cohn: “Most of the Republican electorate either doesn’t strongly support Mr. Trump in the primary or doesn’t support him at all. Most don’t have a ‘very favorable’ view of the former president, either. In theory, it means there’s an opening for another candidate.”

“But with so much of the GOP electorate seemingly devoted to Mr. Trump, the path to defeating him is exceptionally narrow. It requires a candidate to consolidate the preponderance of the rest of the Republican electorate, and the rest of the Republican electorate is not easy to unify.”
