After last week’s Republican debate we saw poll after poll validate Donald Trump’s candidacy and his large lead over the rest of the field. Nevertheless, these polls were not taken inside the Beltway. The “experts” in politics, the people who want to describe events to eye witnesses, saw the evening very differently and were not hesitant to pontificate on the REAL results – the ones we are not quite smart enough to understand.
One of my favorite books is Victor Navasky’s The Experts Speak published by Random House in 1998.
Navasky, a former editor and publisher of The Nation, used his considerable research skills to shine a spotlight on some of the more ridiculous and pompous asses who were called “experts” in various fields. We are still plagued with “geniuses” like this today so with a nod of gratitude to Mister Navasky let’s borrow his spotlight and see what today’s political “experts” said about Donald Trump’s performance.
National Review’s “expert” Rich Lowry:
“Trump lost … Almost everyone else did well.”
“Trump lost, beginning from the third-party question right at the start. He had any number of moments that were the worst moments he has had in the campaign. When he stuck with his shtick it was jarring on that stage, and when he tried to sound like a politician—talking of how he evoked on issues and in his closing statement, for instance—he sounded less assured and deft than the real politicians.”
From The Experts Speak:
“Stocks have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau.” –Irving Fisher, professor of economics at Yale University, October 17, 1929
By Rick Wilson, Republican message and media strategist “expert.”
“Rank and file GOP voters (I was in a room full of them) were horrified by...

I hadn’t seen or heard him for some time. His remarks yesterday were insulting to me as a lifelong registered Republican.
Help me understand your logical thought processes. (Benefit of the doubt given in assuming that there is such a thing since you seem to be using the DU approach.)
According to you anyone who thinks George Will is a douche is a Trump supporter? After all, the post you replied to was only about the douchiness of WIll and said nothing about a Trump or any other candidate. Do you possibly have an innate ability to read minds since your reply implies knowledge not revealed in the post to which it is addressed?
And by the way, George Will is and has been a douche for quite some time now. Long before your sign up date.
LOL...
Wow, you write like Trump speaks. English and coherence next time please.
BTW, I assume you think Michelle Malkin is evil too?
Trump does. But, you’re right...I am from the DU. Funny, you Trump people keep talking about Liberal cites, etc.
Nice deflection.
Now answer the question you were asked.
You seen to think you can read minds. Tell me what I am thinking right now. BTW I don’ make threats, I make promises.
Reports of Trump’s demise are greatly exaggerated.
And when you do also answer, if possible, the following:
you write like Trump speaks.
You are incorrect. I write like I speak. (Based on your seeming ability to mindread, you should know that.)
English and coherence next time please.
Please note what portion of the post that you replied to was incoherent and/or non-English. If you fail to comprehend written English, is it possible that English is not your native tongue or is it just that you are a product of the modern American Educational System?
I assume you think Michelle Malkin is evil too?
First, what orifice did you pull M. Malkin out of considering that she is not now nor has been the subject of any posts on this thread including the one(s) you have replied to? Second, why are you again attempting to emulate AmazingKreskin by assuming you can read my mind since I have expressed no thoughts on that subject matter?
you’re right...I am from the DU.
Probably the only correct statement you have made for a long time.
you Trump people
What evidence do you put forth to show that I am what you state? (link me to one of my posts that so states please.) talking about Liberal cites
So you are implying that there is no such thing? Technically you are correct. The cities are material and thus devoid of the ability to form any type of value system. It is the voter base populating cities with that reputation that is so inclined. Are you implying that is an invalid statistic (that some 'cities' - using that word to denote the voting inhabitants - are notably liberal)?
Awaiting a valid reply.
Or your next non-answer deflection...
TNMOUTH never answers questions, he just insults and then claims that others aren’t answering his supposed questions.
It's hard to toy with a troll when it refuses to answer.
In the meantime, while avoiding a reply here I note that TiNMOTH has infested about five more threads.
Yes, be flees to other threads to spread love joy and happiness.
