Why does Big Media keep saying Trump’s “not likely to win the nomination”?? Wishing it were so?
He’s at 40% already, more than 3 times the second-place candidate, and the first primary is still 5 months away.
Given these trends, how can he NOT win the nomination? He’s running away with it, folks. Is the GOP elite planning to pull some delegate trick?
“and the first primary is still 5 months away.”
I don’t think Trump has the shelf life.
It’s a long time to election day. By the first of the year there’ll probably be no more than four left. Trump, Bush, Cruz and Carly. This will give Bush and Carly more time to jump on Trump. Bush has the money to stay and to attack. And attack ads work. So, Trump doesn’t have it sewed up. I wish he did.
Lewis Morris: “when The Donald’s candidacy implodes.”
And when will that occur, Mr. Morris?
At this point, at least superficially, it looks like Trump could win as a Republican, or as an Independent, or as a Democrat.
And I'm not saying that as someone who thinks that's a good thing.
I think big media is a little afraid of the Donald, as is the GOPe, because he cannot be bought. Whatever “big” money donors give to a political candidate, the “big” money wishes MUSt be followed. That’s why we’re stuck with these professional politicians who’ve been in dc for 20/30 some years.
