His unlikeability should matter...except all the traditional metrics that said he should already be gone have proven incorrect. It's time to stop analyzing Trump as anything like a traditional candidate, he's a once in a lifetime candidate beyond compare. Traditional metrics and things that should be terrible or doom a normal candidate do not apply to him.

I mean this is a candidate who has consistently retweeted from explicitly racist posters (such as last week retweeting from someone called White Genocide...), whose spokesperson is on TV trolling non-stop, who herself has racists tweets in the past....and his numbers continue to rise. I know people want to keep acting like this is a sideshow that's going away, but those are likely the people who will be posting here wondering what he hell just happened when it's November 9, 2016 and it's President-elect Trump.
