[The bigger question is how will the voters view Trumpâs Sore Loserman tantrum.]
I would guess the same way they viewed his:
1) John NcCain is not a war hero
2) Megyn Kelly is a menstruating bimbo
3) His alleged “mock” of a media report
4) Barrage on Dr Ben Carson’s questionable past
...and everything else that was supposed to sink him.
At some point, either one of his verbal flops will sink him, or the weight of them all may do it... or maybe his supporters will vote for him even if he kills someone on camera. However, Iowa seems to have shown that even when he pulls in record crowds, they don’t always vote for him. Cruz got more Iowa GOP Caucus votes than anyone, ever, while polling in second. Trump gets people off their butts and into the arena, but once there, they are apparently voting for more than a great media personality.
His cult followers will follow him all the way off the cliff. Trump has a 30% following among Republicans, which means about 10% of the electorate. He has heavy negatives among the general population reaching around 70%.
The more he acts like a spoiled rich kid and throws tantrums and makes insults, the more the negatives will cement.
I used to think Trump could win the election hands down, but I see cracks in the dike. Eventually he is going to say something that will sink him.
If Cruz is knocked out of the race (which seems to be Trump’s goal, then I predict that most of the support that Cruz has will go to the Rubio or other candidates.
Ultimately I think this race may end up in a three way tie for delegates which means that it will be decided at the convention. Trump will lose and cry and probably go third party just to spite the Republican party.
If you look at this election in an objective way, I think that you could conclude that Trump is not in it to win it, but he is in it to destroy the GOP.
