This time it really is the end of Trump. Really.
Washington Post ^ | April 3, 2016 | By E.J. Dionne Jr.

Posted on 04/03/2016 11:26:55 PM PDT by detective

It’s time to go back to where we began: not only that Donald Trump will lose the Republican presidential nomination, but also that he could be so weakened by the end of the primaries that his party will not even have to worry about choosing someone else.

I feel your skepticism. Hasn’t Trump so far defied all predictions of his demise? Absolutely. Hasn’t every claim that “now he’s gone too far” been wrong? Of course.

Since Trump entered the presidential race there has been article after article in the MSM predicting that he would implode and receive few if any votes. Expert after expert explained why Trump would soon crash and burn.

All the articles so far have been wrong.

But that does not stop them from trying.

This is the latest prediction of Trumps immenent demise.

The short version:

“we journalists have been wrong time and again predicting Trump’s demise”

“but the problem now is that we are afraid to predict Trump’s demise because we have been wrong so often”

“but THIS time he really, really, really is finished. The end”

“Journalists and citizens alike should cultivate, not resist, their most honorable instincts. The instinct that Americans would never choose as their president a clownish peddler of racial and religious stereotypes who made everything up as he went along was right from the start.”

Donald Trump is a type of Samson: Doesn’t drink, has wild hair, chases foreign women, gets really upset if the treat him unfairly, really good a slaying Philistines, and brings down the Temple of Dagon.

This is why I say that Donald Trump is a type of Samson:

Judgse 15
3 And Samson said to them, “This time I shall be blameless regarding the Philistines if I harm them!”
4 Then Samson went and caught three hundred foxes; and he took torches, turned the foxes tail to tail, and put a torch between each pair of tails.
5 When he had set the torches on fire, he let the foxes go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burned up both the shocks and the standing grain, as well as the vineyards and olive groves.

The author in this article admits that himself and the media have been wrong about Trump this entire race, yet goes on to try and claims this time he is right, really...and the media still doesn’t get why people like Trump. It shows how disconnected they are living in their bubbles and safe spaces.

Oh, dear!

Trump is in first place and has been stuck there since New Hampshire, but he might not win Wisconsin? He’s doomed!

Doomed, I say!

Doomed!

DOOMED!!!

That was three exclamation points, so it’s got to be true!!!

In this election season, I have to point out one detail that would have been obvious in most years: There may be a wee bit of sarcasm hidden in the above post.

DOOMED! We need Jeb! to the rescue; I’m sure that’s who EJ Dionne wants us to pick for our own good!

E.J. Dionne is a complete ass hat, and like his fellow ass hats in the libtard media, he not only is absolutely SURE that “this is the end of Trump”, this coming Fall he’s going to be out in the fields, “absolutely sure” that the Great Pumpkin is going to arise and fulfill all of his liberal hopes and dreams.

And he gets paid for this clap trap.

Amazing.

It’s like the Washington Post lost all influence and they’re crying about it.

“he not only is absolutely SURE that “this is the end of Trump””

He’s not all that sure. He just expresses his hope as a foregone conclusion, believing that some readers will consider going along with his prediction.

What is the best way to bind the foxes to each other? Male or female? Does it make a difference?
