Concurring bump. Too early to rule anyone out. Windflier and other Trump promoters need to try again in, say, January or February, when we've seen the early primaries.
Meanwhile, the state RPC's in States that continue to run open primaries need to be tossed out of the Party. No 'Rats in our primaries!
Well, I'm not really a Trump promoter. I've only commented about him and the presidential race here and there since this all started. Mostly, I'm in lurk mode these days.
As for ruling any candidate out, it's sort of what we do around here. Conjecture, pondering, forecasting, analysis - it's all good.
I'm just sitting in my little Ivory Tower like everyone else, sharing my take on what I see developing. I've been wrong about these sorts of horse races before, and I'll probably be wrong again, but I can't help seeing what I'm seeing.
Just calling it as I see it, friend.
