The primary season isn't technically over, but if you're Hillary Clinton, the finish line is visible. She all but locked up the Democratic nomination for president last week, and this week she's pivoting directly to attacking GOP front-runner Donald Trump.

While speaking Monday to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, one of the most important and influential interest groups in the nation, Clinton suggested that Trump is "dangerously wrong" on Israel and implied he's a close-minded bully: "If you see bigotry oppose it, if you see violence condemn it, if you see a bully stand up to him," she said.

Clinton didn't mention Trump by name, but her comments make clear he's on her mind. In fact, Clinton's team is building an attack manual for this fall where she will bash Trump's business acumen, highlight his eyebrow-raising comments about women and minorities, and zero in on his thin political resume. Clinton's goal is to take down Trump where others (read: Republican candidates) have failed, report The Washington Post's Anne Gearan and Abby Phillip.

Trump is set to speak to AIPAC later Monday, so we'll have to see how he reacts to Clinton's barbs. But Trump has already demonstrated he's not afraid to get personal when it comes to Clinton; remember that time he described Clinton's bathroom break during a Democratic debate as "disgusting?" And in January he called her husband "one of the great women abusers of all time."

In other words, the general election hasn't even begun, but it's already taken a turn for the negative. You have been warned.

A big reason for the above? Unpopularity.

One of the big reasons things are likely to devolve into the realm of the nasty is that both of the most-likely nominees — Trump and Clinton — are unpopular. In fact, if it weren't for Trump, Clinton would enter the 2016 general election alongside the more unpopular nominees ever.

Much like Utahns, the American public really dislikes Trump. In fact, the 67 percent of Americans who rated Trump as "unfavorable" in a recent Washington Post-ABC News poll would be the highest unfavorability rating of any candidate who became a major-party nominee in three decades. "It's hard to overstate how bad Trump's numbers are with all Americans," writes The Post's Emily Guskin in The Fix.

Here's one way Guskin helps us put it in perspective: The only presidential candidate in the past few decades Americans have disliked more than Trump is former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, who ran for president in 1992.

Clinton's highest measured unfavorable rating, meanwhile, is 53 percent — from August — and remains in that general vicinity.

And what do you do when people don't really like you? You make them like the other candidate even less.

Let's do some pivoting of our own to talk about Tuesday's elections

The presidential campaign on both sides moves West for contests in Utah and Arizona, plus Idaho's Democratic caucuses.

We're watching Utah, where one poll shows Trump is in third place, 42 points behind the state's favorite, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.). What's more, another poll shows Trump would lose to either Democrat in the presidential race. Let's pause for a second to take that in. Utah, one of the reddest states in the nation, would considering voting for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) over the Republican front-runner.
