Right. His campaign is built on hype and support of the young. The more it looks like he’s going to crash then the more his support will wither away. “Americans love a winner”, as Gen. Patton once said. What Patton didn’t say is that Americans also love to abandon a loser in great haste.

“Americans love a winner”,

True,

And remember now we’re told by the left that he’s prepared to be POTUS based primarily on this glorious 19 month campaign.
What’s better is he’s running against Palin! What a dope.

I think Patton did say that Americans will not tolerate a loser.

Patton had a pretty harsh take on American sentiments, but I think Americans all across the political spectrum are as harsh as can be when it comes to Presidential candidates who disappoint their supporters.

Well,, I don’t know if George C. Scott’s words are original to the real Patton... but, he said “ To American’s losing is hateful “
