A meme is tough to explain.
But the short version is that a meme is a repeated idea.
On the Internet, it’s usually accompanied by pictures of cats.
Interesting
That Establishment kool-aid must be electric!
More like the 15-30 mil spent in negative advertising against Trump before every Primary is pushing back against him. Has their even been a primary candidate who had so much big money spent against him?
I’m sure you’ve seen them. They’re sorta like bumper stickers on the internet. Some are pictures of famous people with funny remarks on them or photoshopped images on them. An example: that famous picture of Kim Kardashian’s butt with krispie kreme glazed donuts placed over it.
Now, anything is possible and what you said might happen. This election has taught people one thing - 'normal' is not an effective operative word this time round, and thus anything is possible.
However, I personally doubt what you say will happen. Why? Think of it in two ways - (i) Trump is a patriot who's in the race out of love for Country; and (ii) Trump is a narcissist who's in the race purely out of ego.
If the first is correct, then there's no way Trump will drop out. Absolutely impossible - patriots have died for the Flag, and the current attacks on Trump are nothing (and I'm certain that in the normal course of doing business Trump has come across far more caustic attacks). Over the time-span of almost a year, Trump has been the front runner. Whether one says that he 'didn't have a majority,' the fact still remains that he has been the clear front runner and currently has more delegates than his current two competitors (combined), with it being an ABSOLUTE impossibility for Kasich to win the nomination at the first round, and a NIGH MATHEMATICAL impossibility for Cruz to win the nomination at the first round (while it is still possible, it would require Cruz to basically sweep EVERY state from now on ...possible, in the same way it is possible to win the Lotto, but highly improbable from a mathematical angle). Trump, on the other hand, is at 96% of his target according to 538 (compared to Cruz who is at 52% of where he needs to be), and to assume that Trump would just drop out is difficult to comprehend. Especially if he is a patriot.
What if he is just some narcissist who is on some ego drive. First of all, virtually everyone who runs for high office has to have some sort of inner-narcissist within him (this include Cruz, Fiorina, Clinton, etc). But let's concentrate on Trump. If all of this was an ego drive, he still would not just drop out. Especially as it stands with him leading in delegates. To drop out now and give Cruz a clear uninterrupted path to the nomination runs counter to anything a narcissist would do. A narcissist would rather stay in the race and act as a spoiler, and if we are seeing people/narcissists with FAR LOWER delegate counts staying in the race and serving as spoilers, it would be a bit ludicrous to assume that (an allegedly) bigger narcissist, who is leading in delegates, would just drop out. That is called wishful thinking, especially if narcissists with lower counts are staying in the race.
The next contests will clearly show how the lay of the land really is, in particular NY and CA (I believe the two of them add to 300 delegates, which would take Trump to an insurmountable win if he got both, or if Cruz got both would make him basically tied with Trump). However, all we can do is watch and see.
What I am watching for is (a) how the next elections pan out, (b) if the mistress story gets feet (I seriously hope there's no truth to it because if there is it will STILL come out, and the longest it takes the more it builds momentum), and (c) if we get to a brokered convention, to see what tricks the GOPe pull out to try and defeat Trump AND Cruz. I belong to the camp that believes the mistress story was a GOPe weapon to take Cruz out once he took out Trump, but I could be wrong and I am definitely not a mind reader.
So, let's see. Next elections are coming soon, and those results will be more impactful than anything I have to say.
I am basing my analysis on a couple of things.
First that ex-Trump strategist who recently spoke out about Trump. She said Trump's goal was to win the second most delegates. Never to win. If that's true, that could have been the deal Cruz and Trump had. Cruz will win and Trump takes out the GOPe. Didn't work as Trump took a big lead. But it true it means Trump might not have had the massive drive to be President. Just a guess.
Secondly Trump does not want to be a loser under any circumstances. My theory of him dropping out, is only based on assumption he does not get to 1237 delegates. I don't believe Cruz will get there, so there will be a contested convention. If there is a contested convention all data to date shows Cruz lining up the most delegates. So Cruz would win, and Trump would not only lose, he would not be the master negotiator he claims to be.
Totally a theory, but if he drops out while ahead, he becomes a king maker. He could threaten to go third party etc.
You are engaging in wishful thinking.
Pure, unadulterated, double strength Kool-aid
Trump is not going to drop out, and Cruz will not over take him in the delegate count. Neither is he fading now anymore than he was 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 month ago when prediction that he would fade were made. If he were fading like the GrOP-E and Cruz camps predicted he’d be the invisible man by now
If Trump does not have the delegates then look for him to work a deal with Kasich as VP or possibly Postmaster General. That means Trump needs about 1137 rather than 1237 delegates.
If weird Uncle John won’t take the VP slot there may be a brokered convention but that means the nominee will be someone like Mitt Romney or Jed Bush not Ted Cruz.
Ted Cruz has, at this point, about a 10% chance of receiving the nomination on the first ballot. If he does not get it out right he won’t get it.
Roger Stone predicted the media would do this as part of their plan to take down Trump and prevent 1237 delegates.
If anyone hasn’t seen the Roger Stone interview on InfoWars, I recommend they check it out.
TRUMP NOT LISTENING WE ALL WIN ANYONE FOOL!!!!
Trumpies have a lot of gall to spit at the MSM regarding anything Trump, seeing as the MSM bankrolled his campaign with hours and hours of campaign speeches under the BIG NEWS BANNER as a gift to the DONEald.
Having not had to endure hours of the drivel lately, maybe finally the MSM has wised up to the New York value-less promotion “NEWS” BS.
Human nature, the more Trump wins the more he’s going to win.
Until you see Trump lose somewhere he shouldn’t... like a Wisconsin or a PA or something the race hasn’t changed one bit... nothing but media created drama to draw eyeballs and create conflict.
Should Kasich or Cruz pull an upset in Wisconsin Tuesday, then you can have a discussion about the race dynamic changing, until then, its horse poop.
Now does that mean Kasich or Cruz couldn’t pull an upset in WI? Of course not... WI is a bit of an odd bird, not quite as moonbat crazy as MN, but certainly has a bit of that vibe to it. WI has been hit hard by globalization, like most of the rust belt, lots of industry has fled the state... The paper valley is still doing fine, in many ways, because pulp and paper is one of the few things we actually export to China...raw paper for packaging all those things now made in china to be sent back to the US to be sold.... but other industries have been decimated. Small tows throughout WI have seen their industrial bases collapsing over the past decades.
I think Trump should do fine there, but I can’t dismiss that WI is also, as I said, a bit wonky as well at times. I will say this however, should an upset happen in WI, I would expect it would more likely be Kasich than Cruz... in fact I expect Cruz will likely come in third as often as second throughout the rust belt.
1 week until we know.
Are you kidding me?
Trump is polling at 60%+ in NY state and Cruz is in the low teens.... I am not sure where you are getting your information from, but you really need to update it. If you think Cruz has any shot in NY, you have gotten into some of the special brownies again.
Someone claiming Trump won’t get 50% in NY????
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
Wow, is someone delusional.
Trump is polling 60%+ in NY, while I haven’t seen a poll out of NY yet to show Cruz above the low teens....
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
I don’t know what that person is smoking, but don’t Bogart it, pass it this way, because that’s some good stuff.
I think you have a good finger on the pulse!
Trump pooped his pants. His reach vastly exceeded his grasp.
Cruz growing his lead in WI and moving up fast in CA (one point difference last poll), not to mention outsmarting DONEald with “free” delegates.
Primadonnas don’t like being shown up, as his Walter imitation turns real, DONEald will cook up some rationality to “move on to other pursuits” when 1237 goes unreachable.
Trump isn’t dropping out...anyone advancing a theory that Trump got in this to be second or to lose is not living in reality. As much as the mainstream media wants to portray that Trump just got in this thing on a lark, that’s not remotely what’s been going on... He has been planning this longer than anyone realized, because unlike politicians, no one was paying attention to him in this regard... so while to the political press it seems like he came out of nowhere, Trump had spent a lot of time planning his path before he ever stepped up and announced.
Any speculation that Trump is going to drop out, or isn’t in it to win it, shows a fundamental lack of understanding of Trump as a person. This idea, he’ll drop out rather than lose, shows that they buy into a media portrayal of Trump not Trump the person.
Trump has failed many times in his life, this idea he’ll quit rather than fail, is fundamentally silly on its face. Business leaders cannot fear failure, they aren’t politicians. Politicians careers can be ended by a major failure, business folks, failures come with the process, and most (with the exception of Carly) learn from them and move on and try again.
Whether you like Trump or hate him, anyone thinking he fears failure so much he would drop out rather than see something through, shows they don’t understand the first thing about the guy.
