I was always fascinated by GFYers who claimed something like this. You know who you are, props to you if you come out and admit being wrong.
Anyway, here is the debunking:
Quote:
The January NBC/Wall Street Journal survey found that 65 percent of likely Republican voters could see themselves supporting Trump, a staggering jump from the 23 percent of voters who did last March, before he announced his presidential run. Cruz and Rubio fared modestly better, at 71 percent and 67 percent, respectively.
“The longer Donald Trump stays in the race, the more likely GOP voters are willing to vote for him,” Republican pollster Frank Luntz tweeted in response to that statistic.
By contrast, in January 2012, 59 percent of Republicans saw Romney, who went on to win the nomination, as "acceptable," according to Gallup.

Four Problems With the 'Winnowing' Theory of Trump's Downfall - Bloomberg Politics
Main points:
1. 65% is not that far from Rubio's 67%. Cruz has 71%, also nothing staggering compared to how those "Trump only has 30%" types tried to depict
2. Trump has even more 65vs59 than Romney had. And Romney did not lose general election in a trashing way like some of the libbies tried to depict would happen in case of Trump vs Hilary. Again - you know who you are, props if you come here admitting you were wrong.
Additional point: Trump maybe more attractive to some left leaning voters than Romney was.
And just a thought - do you think lots of republicans would vote democrats instead of Trump in general election or something just because they did not like Trump. Nope, they would still vote republican, even if they did not like the guy that much.
