...So you're using polls in an unscientific way. It's a real mistake, but it's also a disservice to the voters because you are becoming God, and you are deciding who can run and who cannot run. So I think it was a huge mistake by the media to do this...

I loved it when he said that because it's so true! Way to go, Sen. Paul! Way to go.

Oh my goodness he fucking smoked that! He hit the nail right on the head about Trump's polls numbers/media coverage being a "self-reinforcing phenomena."

Fantastic interview!

Nate Silver at 538:

Another reason could be if a candidate rides a wave of media-driven momentum to victory. Usually, we’d think of a momentum candidate as someone like Carter, who parlayed an unexpected “win”[SUP]9[/SUP] in the Iowa caucuses in 1976 to emerge from obscurity and top a disorganized field. Can Trump, who was a nationally renowned figure before he entered the race, really be placed in the same category as Carter? Maybe. The media coverage of Trump has been disproportionate and seems to be self-reinforcing, with polls and coverage begetting one another in a virtuous cycle.

Her lips are inflated like her intelligence. I call her Maria Botoxromo. Rand just schooled her with skill.
