“Listening to Trump takes me back to junior high school. What a baby.”
Trump’s drippy sarcasm went right over your head, just like a junior high schooler.
Right. Thanks for illustrating the point. The score keeping is just a bunch of schoolboys cheering for a cheeky snark. Nobody outside the little gym even cares what the cheering is about.
That you people even value “drippy sarcasm” as an important part of tallying an electoral college majority shows how clueless you are about how this contest ends. The Presidency is not won by “nyah nyah nyah.”
Make a note of this: Donald Trump is not going to be President. And if he isn’t, then the satisfaction of “upsetting the GOP power structure” won’t even be remembered. The Trump phenomenon is not going to move the other candidates to the right. It’s not teaching the establishment a lesson. It’s sole result will be to actually just immunize the beltway one more layer against the next cult of personality that “energizes the base.” Because it’s not the conservative base that Trump is energizing (he’s not a conservative). It’s the frustrated, who feel like losers, who just want somebody to be rude to the bad reporters who keep taking the election away and the snobby pundits who keep using big words against you.
The vanilla republicans that left the base at home (Romney, McCain, Dole) are just provoking an emotional reaction that won’t get you a candidate that will win more states in a general election.
Enjoy the catharsis. We’ll all be back here in a few months reminding ourselves that math doesn’t care how you feel.
Back to the only assertion whose truth or falsehood matters: Trump is not going to win an electoral college majority.
