The Democrats routinely say they are glad that Trump is the Republican nominee because of how easy he will be to beat and yet they're focusing so much effort on defeating him. I understand they're going to have to focus some resources on him but this seems like a lot. They may be legitimately concerned about his populism platform which does reach all sorts of Americans, not just Republicans. He's likely stealing some Democratic votes.

I wonder how many times Romney was mentioned in the 2012 DNC platform...

Romney wasn't a Democrat.

The Democrats weren't as afraid of Romney.

I wouldn't be surprised if Trump's populism and celebrity status scares the shit out of the DNC. Trump's mouth will lose him this election.

How??!! So far anything stupid he says just gets him more support. In a rational world, his mouth should have terminated his run months and months ago, yet here he is.

The Republican Primary process was the exact opposite of a "rational world."

The process is fine. Don't confuse process and result.
Like the DNC process picking the corrupt doormat trash, the republican primary picked a less than stellar person.

The result came to be because of the process. Trump is the GOP nominee. He will end up shifting more to the center in the next few months, like every GOP nominee has in past elections.

She is trash. Count me amongst the "meteor crowd."

Correct. The fact that the GOP electorate picked the only person in the country who could out-negative Hillary is a different issue.

Normally, a party would look at their opponents selecting a candidate with HUGE negatives and count their blessings. The GOP, however, decided to take it as a challenge and find someone worse. Well played, GOP.

At first, I read that as "out-negotiate" Hillary. I found it odd that you would say that so I re-read it and saw what you really said.
But the interesting part is that either description might work.

What works in the primaries usually fails in the general election. Notice how Trump doesn't daily shoot off his mouth anymore? Notice he isn't headlining the news anymore either?
Personally, I don't know how anyone can think they'll get elected by pissing off everyone but angry while guys. Then again, they said Brexit wouldn't pass and look what happened. November is still a long way away.
