Attacking the other candidates.
And the GOP voters listened to that?
No one really can broad brush the individual reasons that folks dislike Trump just like they can’t do the same with the folks who like him. Listening to folks on both sides in the real world and reading the posts here there seems to be a fairly wide spectrum of likes and dislikes. And the most common split that I have found is “yes he is a crappy person, but I like his policies”.
For me it all started with the Republican debates. I was amazed how he couldn’t answer the most simple questions. And it quickly became evident that he didn’t have a clue about the way government operates and foreign affairs. And yet his supporters would cheer about how good he was. Right there I knew we were in trouble. And the other thing was when he got on the campaign trail. It was so obvious that he would say anything if it got him applause. And you could tell that he didn’t understand half of what he was saying. And the crowds lapped it up. It was obvious to me that he was nothing more then a rich con man.
And then his supporters would go on and on about how he was going to be so good because he was a successful businessman and would hire the best people. I was skeptical about his business success and was right that his supporting staff has been crap.

You don’t understand what a “beatdown” is.
Reading is fundamental. Comprehension is harder.

No, it’s not. How is it nonsense to assert that a massive deficit fueled tax cut is going to put us in a worse position to navigate the next economic downturn? How is it nonsense to oppose the fact that it will lead to calls for cuts to programs like SS, Medicare and Medicaid that will disproportionately hurt poor, working and middle class families? How is it nonsense to point out that GOP policies have explicitly led to increased premiums and fewer people insured? How is it nonsense to bring up the fact that Trump’s family separation policy was explicitly implemented to cause harm so as to deter more migrants from coming here?

CaughtInTheMiddle:
To be fair, if I was running against a guy who was on stage talking about the size of his hands so that people wouldn’t think he was short changed, I probably would just sit back and let the guy keep talking.
To be honest…
That’s how Rubio ended up being “Little Marco.” He started the “small hands” slur against candidate Trump.
Feb 29, 2016 - SALEM, Virginia — Marco Rubio again unleashed an array of sharp attacks on Republican frontrunner Donald Trump , jabbing at his " small hands " and “spray tan.” … However, the Florida senator suggested Trump had small hands for his height.

Credit where credit is due.

Then it doesn’t take much to impress you…
Then don’t let it go to your head.
He certainly brought more misery to liberals than any other president.
