Yes you are, since Plansix' points was not only about Trump's weakness with respect to the Republican electorate participating in the primary, and you did not specify otherwise in the question you asked him (which is why he replied to you in relation to his main point about the general electorate).

Regardless, and like I've repeatedly pointed out, I still addressed your point on this particular topic, as distinct from Trump's weakness with respect to the general electorate, by presenting you with data and an analysis of that data which show that Trump is in a weaker position than Romney among the Republican electorate with regards to who they would be happy with as their nominee. The answer to your question is therefore that yes, there is a historical precedent that shows there is something wrong with Trump's performance with regards to the Republican primary, namely how he is viewed among the Republicans who did not vote for him in the primary. The Republicans who did not vote in the primary for the frontrunner were more likely to be ready to support the frontrunner in 2012 than they are in 2016. This is a fact. It directly answers your question. After four pages of discussion, either you have a serious cognitive problem preventing you from acknowledging this fact (and acknowledging it as relevant to what we're discussing), or you're deliberately (and dishonestly) ignoring it.

I find it hilarious that everyone is blaming Donald Trump for the violence. Granted he's acting irresponsibly in reaction for pretty clear personal gain, the violence, bigotry, racism and all the rest is merely brought to light, but was never engaged with properly. In fact, decades of neglect and suppression of these segments of society has probably fueled the anger and pent up frustration that's being aired today.

He is a demagogue. He said he wants to punch the protestors. He loved the old days, where protestors would be carried out on a stretcher. He said he would pay the legal fees. He said security escorting protestors were being too nice or too slow or too weak. Police is too afraid to lose their job to act forcefully, etc.
He always screams "Out out out!".

Only once he said "Be nice to them." Almost always protestors are pushed, punched and he cheers on his supporters.

He wants to unleash mob mentality.
