Mediocre-intellect pundits were giving their opinion on TV yesterday, never getting it right. Some nitwits opined that Trump's support is increasing because people want to be on the side of a winner--maybe in their world.
Trump's support is increasing because people who like what he's saying once thought him unelectable--or maybe not a sure bet--have now concluded that he is definitely electable and, with their support, will be elected President.
Well you’ve just said the same thing, but from the obverse side. Loving a winner and loving a non-loser sound like the same thing!
"Electable" is a code word for "can carry the ball past the media's goal-line stand". And if the media-ocres are saying that people are going to Trump because of wanting to side with the "winner", well, there ya go. That means, in their minds, he's already got past them. In no other case would they allow the word "winner" to appear in such a context.
