Trump won't win. It's impossible. He obviously won't get any establishment support, and he's not conservative enough to get lots of those voters. Like Rand Paul, he only excels in one faction, and it's not a big enough one to get the nomination. In the Donald's case, it's dissafected voters who really hate the establishment, hate immigration, and hate "politics as usual." Some of them are ideologically conservative, but I'm willing to bet they'll drift towards a guy like Cruz or maybe Santorum (in the unlikely event that Santorum starts gaining traction). What's left is low-information voters who are just vaguely angry and might not even vote.

BUT, if you look past reality and say Trump wins, I agree with the others that 1) no serious Republican contender would show up and 2) Hillary would make him look like Brazil in the World Cup semis.
