Democratic Operatives Think The Huckster Is The GOPU's McGovern
Not that McGovern was a "bad" man ( he was a good and decent man) but that he was successfully portrayed as being out of the main stream and thus devastated at the polls... The GOPU had the same debacle in 64 with Barry Goldwater, who was successfully portrayed as out of the main stream and was also devastated at the polls...

What is interesting is that Johnson and Nixon weren't charismatic politicians but they creamed Goldwater and McGovern because they made the election a referendum on their opponents...

I am on the record as saying the GOPU will not nominate The Huckster... Perhaps I'm wrong... I have heard a lot of "smart" people say that The Huckster can capture the Fundy vote and the anti-Fundy vote is scattered so he can win... The GOPU needs to settle on a anti-Fundy, read anti-Huckster candidate...
