US economy relatively is doing well compared to any other developed country. The stock market has seen large gains overall the last 4-5 years, it's down at the moment, but that happens. Dow Jones Index is at its highest numbers ever the last 4-5 years. National debt has risen regardless of who's in office (Democrat or Republican).
Trump doesn't win if Latinos and women come out in large numbers to vote. It's not 1955 or even 1985 anymore.
For example if he loses Florida, which a state with a huge Hispanic population, his chances of the White House become very slim, the electoral votes lost there would be devastating to a Republican bid.
I think he knows too that a lot of the stuff he says is bullshit, he's saying it because he knows how to manipulate the Republican masses, but he's winning the Republican tickets at the expense of his chance in the main race. Hispanics are going to remember the things he said for a long time, while it won him short term attention, there will be long term blow back from that in a general election.
That said, I don't think it's that amazing that he's leading. The rest of the Republican field is weak. Cruz is a nut job with no charisma. Bush is a Bush but soft spoken and weak-ish. Rubio is uh ... one of the "They Took ER JERBS" people that Republicans don't like. Ben Carson uh .... yeah.
