I don't really buy it. Donald Trump can't win a general. The big secret about these primaries is that very few people go to these things and they are often not representative of either parties interest in the state. The people that come out to primaries and caucuses are the really politically involved. The reason Donald Trump is doing so well is because it is super easy to get the outliers all to vote at one time, and the general populace tends to be more apathetic to this early election stuff. The general election for a presidential candidate is a whole different beast. I'm pretty confident Clinton or Sanders could beat Trump in a general if not from just the sheer amount of disgust for Trump.
