Passing Peak Trump?

[Trebuchet]

Have we passed peak Trump yet?

Maybe. He's just pulled out of a debate because he can't stand up to Megyn Kelly.

Slowest picking up of steam ever.

Big Chicken Donald Trump couldn't stand up to Megyn, and now Trump is a Chump.

I knew his followers were deluded,but not by that much....


I think the question is now not if Trump will get the nomination;but if he will try a Independent run.He will not win,but almost certainly will get enough votes to throw the election to the Democrats.

Assuming Bloomberg doesn't split the vote even further.

Bloomberg won't get in unless it looks like a Trump/Cruz vs Sanders race.

No, but she's half-baked.

I actually made that joke quite early in the other thread.

Does that mean you get a royalty, or at least a citation?

I got a citation back in August for following too closely and it cost me $184. I'll pass on another if it's all the same to you.

Sometimes the environment is ripe for great innovations, and great minds stumble upon them independently. Perhaps like Newton and Leibniz and the invention of calculus. Or maybe not.

Meanie.


Well, more confirmation that people suck at predicting the future. Those of us who doubted the staying power of his appeal have hopefully learned something about politics. And he's never run for anything before has he? Kinda like a guy who was never in the minor leagues going straight to the big leagues and beating all the pros at their own game. He's a natural, a force of nature. I will never vote for him but I certainly have to admit that I underestimated him.

I tend to agree with Nate Silver - it wasn't so much that Trump was underestimated, it was that everybody assumed that the GOP would unite against him. It felt pretty obvious that Trump was going to bully someone like Jeb! into nonexistence, but if e.g. Christie, who's a bit of a bulldog, had seriously gone after Trump and the GOP-friendly media had taken him up on it, that could've done serious damage.
