The article in the OP was written in August and has certainly not come true - at least not yet.
For some reason, no matter how Donald Trump conducts himself, he seems to be getting more support.
I said back in 2012 that Ron Paul actually scored a major victory despite the nomination not going his way. I was enthusiatic at the time bcause I thought a tipping point had been reached and people all over the world, not just America, were beginning to open their eyes to what big govt authoritarians were actually up to.
I just hope that the result is not President Trump.
But but but Trump is a successful business man.
I'm sure if anyone of us got $200M we would be successful too by working the system.
I'm sure Trump will have a bimbo explosion or scandal and go down in flames soon enough.
But simple math says there is no way he can win even if he doesn't flame out. His negatives are way too high. His "never would support" in all the polling says it all.
Are you sure he likes bimbos and not bimboys?
The reason why I think Trump will not win is that I don't think that his poll numbers are almost completely name recognition and that most of his hardcore supporters amount to maybe 1/4 of his numbers (maybe around 8 or 9 percent). Furthermore, the abject stupidity of most of his supporters makes me question whether they'd be able to remember what day their state primary is held on and how to go about voting, PARTICULARLY in caucus states. Back in 2004 one of the biggest advocates for Puff Daddy's "Vote or Die" campaign was Paris Hilton, and come election day she forgot to freaking vote. That's your average Trump supporter right there, though largely with y-chromosomes.
Stupid shit is stupid. Trump can certainly win the nomination and the general election. America has already elected the dipshit Obama, the Democrats are going to nominate the biggest liar the public has ever seen over their second choice, a communist. The GOP has nominated the failure Bush kid, insane McCain and Mitt Flopney. You can't tell me that Trump can't win because it is bullshit.
The voters have very limited choices. Right now it looks like they are fed up with DC politics and want to stick it to the man. It doesn't matter what Trump says or does, he is the anti-DC choice.
The discontent that we had back in 2007 has grown. It hasn't moved in a liberty direction as much as I would like, but this is a deformed growth of that discontent.
