I don't really know about that. I mean, I'm sure that will be an issue for a lot of people, but there are a lot of groups that will overlook any negative vibes about Trump. The partisan voters that vote party line aren't going to switch sides en masse because Trump happens to be the candidate. There are a lot of people (re: O'Boogie's post above) who have the same sort of strong feelings about Clinton that others have about Trump. And, well, remember back with Obama how the "Obama gonna get me a new phone!" meme took off? Trump has his own large "dipshit" group of fans (like CC) who're convinced that because he "talks tough" and "isn't PC" or "isn't establishment", he'll somehow be a qualified, good president.
The first group will vote R no matter who the candidate is, the second will vote for whoever has the best chance of keeping Clinton out and the third will just willfully ignore anything negative about Trump (ie: CC's "DURRR HE PROBABLY UP 8-10% BUT STOO-PID MEDIA DON'T REPORT WHAT THEY SHOULD OF" post) because they're living in Imagination Land, where a loud, rich Oompa-Loompa can browbeat other world leaders into doing what he says because...reasons.
The loser in all of this is us as a people. A halfway good R candidate and Hillary loses big. A halfway non-corrupt D candidate and Trump loses YUUUGGGGEEEE.
