-1 of 17. Trump isn't a very good candidate
Reality is, Donald Trump isn't a very good candidate.
Most Republicans will admit that. He's boorish, he's got a lot of personal moral failings. His ideology is all over the map, and self-contradictory. You can't achieve all the things he promises, many of the bullet points he's talking about are mutually exclusive, like balancing the budget but increasing spending and cutting taxes. We saw that in his first term, that obviously the real world doesn't match with flapping your jaw.
Fiscal conservatives hate the way Trump dealt with budgets and they're going to continue to be disappointed. He's proposed a lot of specific tax cuts he'll likely deliver on, but he's also talking about new ways of spending money.
Libertarians don't like him for not pardoning Assange and Snowden, seeing their charges as overreach by the state, as well as some of his decisions such as his bump stock ban following the Los Vegas shooting.
New right folks are upset about many of his appointments such as John Bolton who most Trump supporters consider a real swamp creature as his secretary of state.
Religious conservatives don't like his stance on abortion or IVF because it's far too moderate and he's said he won't ban either at a federal level. It turns out murdering innocents isn't really something you can negotiate, people who believe abortion is murder won't like it being legal in any capacity, certainly not in the wide range blue states will allow it.
A lot of conservatives don't like that he brought in a rapper to the RNC. She raps about being a prostitute, which is not in any way in line with traditional moral values, upsetting social conservatives.
And then there's all the reasons for people on the left to hate Trump, which I don't need to list because the media has listed all the reasons and many more they invented.
So if Trump wins, it's a harsh indictment on anyone who is running against him. You ran against someone with this many weakness, and you lost. Joe Biden ran a campaign from his basement and won. that's how weak you can be and still beat Trump.
