ETA: The GOP arguments against Reagan were virtually the same as they are against Trump.

This isn't 1980.
Reagan was able to overcome a 15% deficit against Carter entirely because of the Iranian hostage crises.
Without that, or if the rescue mission had succeeded, Carter would have had a second term.
Reagan won because as time went on, the hostage crises looked worse and worse, and people recognized that Reagan had the temperment and judgement to resolve it.
Nobody sees Trump that way outside of his narrow base of supporters.
Reagan did not start the campaign with the stratospheric levels of negative ratings that Trump has inflicted on himself with his continual childish behavior.
Trump has made himself unelectable. This is his own doing, not some GOP establishment conspiracy.
Trumps negatives among independent women is at 75%. There is no way to turn negatives like that around.
The GOP would be entirely justified in denying Trump the nod. They have asked the idiot repeatedly to tone down the clown act to no avail.
Running Trump would only generate a Democrat "wave" election that would cost the House and Senate as well.
Pray that the GOP develops the backbone to tell Trump to go get bent, and choose another candidate regardless of how many delegates the corrupt horse's ass brings to the convention.
This is Trump's own doing. He created this mess. Nobody twisted his arm to force him to act like such an incredibly childish moron.
The GOP is not opposed to a Trump candidacy over some sort of "loss of control" bullshit that the Trump supporters fantasize about. It's because he is an unelectable idiot.
