For the first time in a l-o-n-g time, we have a Presidential candidate that is what the mass had said they always wanted.

Who do they think this "non career politician" nominee would end up being, the town librarian who seems to have a level head about them??? It would have to be a nationally known figure, like Trump, Bill Gates, Ross Perot...

Out of the three candidates (Democ, Rep, 3rd party)... only one is not coming into the race already being a politician. Just a couple of years ago, whoever this person would end up being... the whiners were willing to conduct parades for the person - if this person just had the nads to step forward... and possess the drive to attempt a run.
Yes. And a lot of the "signs" people who aren't currently inclined to vote for Trump see as being clear indicators that he's a buffoonish huckster can be as easily explained as him being the first non-politician in my lifetime to get the nomination of a major party. He's in unknown territory not only to voters but himself. The fact that he's had to retool his campaign along the way, on the fly, looks really bad to these people but to me it looks like someone who can correct their course on the fly, when mistakes are made they try to mitigate those mistakes instead of doubling down on them.

At any rate, the NeverTrump people are just establishment supporting stooges and are incredibly deluded if they think a Trump defeat in 2016 gets them their guy in 2020 or 2024. It's just shocking how horrible their logic is, which leads me to believe they really don't view what Hillary is going to do in a very bad light at all. Almost like they are just fine with it.
