I’m pretty much at the point where there are virtually NO mainstream or widely acknowledged Sunday pundits (or whatever the heck they want to call themselves) whose opinions I value at all.

To my mind, the fact that they are where they are is the problem. Just Kapo soldiers pumping out propaganda, lies obfuscation.

Is this is the end of Trump, for the nth time?

But this time it really, really, really, really is the end. Those other times didn't count.

Carly Fiorina, for her present vocalizing about the Kentucky clerk, and for her previous statements in favor of mohammedansim, I will not vote for her.

(Having a hossface doesn’t count.)

Watched Krauthammer on Fox, the other night, as they showed the latest Maris {sp} poll, with Marco at 3%. Dr. Chucky did not seem to be cheer leading for Rubio anymore!

Well, you know, with the exception (I think) of David Freddoso, almost all of them live in the DC-NY beltway. These are the “Superzips” that Charles Murray discusses in “Coming Apart,” where you NEVER get any contrary views. Murray showed that in several of the DC zips, you could not find a SINGLE PERSON (save kids) on your block who hadn’t gone to an Ivy League school!!! He notes that outside of an occasional taxi driver or food truck worker, you would never in any meaningful way encounter one person NOT in your income level and relative IQ range. That is a huge danger to the republic.

None of them that I know of have any real contact with those of us out here in drive-by America. Their ‘America’ is much different than ours.

Note how this is a poll of READERS of the magazine, not necessarily subscribers. I suspect that it’s from their paper copies - so that it couldn’t get FReeped by us.

So just who does ‘read’ the magazine? I strongly suspect that it winds up being sent to every Republican-leaning insider and office in the country, or at least DC, and that few of them actually pay for it - rather their advertisements cover the cost.

Bottom line - I’m surprised Trump is doing so well in their ‘polling’, when Trump will pretty much shut down every political office that is now receiving the publication, should he win.

That’s what I think, though I’m hesitant to judge. After all, some MUST live in flyover country.
