most of the people the pundits hang out with are anti-trump so they live in a bubble. Its hard for them to see anyone could be pro-trump since noone they know is pro-trump

Bernie Sanders is a Democrat outsider?
He’s as mainstream as a Democrat can be. He just has the guts to call himself what Democrats actually are. Socialists.

They know the establishment will soon release the gates of hell on Trump. His own mother wouldn’t like him after what will be said about him

Conventional wisdom hasn't worked really well this cycle. I'm not sure it will here, either.

The pundits are wrong so often, that this is a very positive sign for Trump.

So far, every pundit I have seen has a serious vested interest in the establishment. —And most of them have already been called out by Trump.

I am thinking of what happened to another pundit who said Romney would win be a mile, and now we do not hear anything from him anymore — Who is Dick Morris?

The “pundits” really don’t know how to deal with Donald Trump. As stated here, they live in a bubble and don’t understand why the masses aren’t getting behind their safe choice of Jebbie Bush.

Because despite being wealthy, Donald Trump is not a member of the ruling class and sees the world as regular people do.

“Sen. Bernie Sanders, who is an independent, is considered by some as the Democratic “outsider.”

Bernie Sanders is an utterly mainstream democrat except in one regard—he is honest enough to call himself a “socialist.”

If pundits do not think Trump will win that means it is a 100% guarantee he will be the next president.

Hey, GOPe pundits, denial is not a river in Egypt.

The most common establishment response to a Black Swan moment, is denial.

Until the disruption has buried them.

Trump: The Black Swan.

"...but someone with more traditionally recognized political acumen will win the Republican nomination..."

more traditionally recognized political acumen = more ability to deceive, be a liar, and emulate an etch-a-sketch

JEB's problem is that he didn't want to lie about his love for amnesty and commie core. He's a democrat and proud of it. But the Rubio's and Romney's of the world, JEB!'s democrat with R next to their name buddies, have no problem lying. That is who they are looking forward to seeing win.

After hearing the Donald in Franklin, Tn. this afternoon, me thinks these fools are blowing hot air. Trump is in this to WIN this. The man doesn’t care for losers and day by day he continues to plow ahead. He’s not planning to go anywhere but to the top. Thank you, Mr. T. You and yours remain in our prayers.

Mr. Trump still holds the lead in most polls, but someone with more traditionally recognized political acumen will win the Republican nomination, say pundits.

That's odd.

I ain't voting for anyone BUT Trump, even if I got to write him in.

The headline is wrong and untrue. It SHOULD say that pundits are HOPING Trump doesn’t win the nomination. I’d say they are hoping and PRAYING, but that would be a stretch.

The one thing that concerns me about the pundits is projection. When they say things like
“You had better believe that GOP leaders will do everything in their power, mainly behind the scenes, to ensure that Trump is not their standard-bearer,” and
“When the primaries arrive early next year, the Trump vote will subdivide further among the other Republican tortoises.”, it suggests that either the fix is in or thy hope that the GOP plans to fix the system.

Either scenario spells the doom of the GOP as a viable political entity. What happens when the people vote for Trump or Carson and the delegates vote for GOPe (assuming the first ballot doesn’t insure the nomination)? All Hades will break lose.

At this point the pundits are just praying he won’t win.
