NY Times: "Rank and File Republicans Tell Party Elites: We’re Sticking With Donald Trump."
I was listening to a story on NPR and they interviewed five Republican primary voters in Florida. Three of them were enthusiastically voting for Trump, one was "meh" on Rubio, and the last didn't know but was generally depressed about the whole field.
"For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind." Trump didn't come from nowhere like a virus.
ReplyDeleteNobody - including me - took him seriously. What an election year where both front-runners have net negative favorability ratings.
ReplyDeleteTrump's a culmination, not an intrusion.
ReplyDeleteThe phrase "the party of Lincoln" will need to be placed in a blind trust for the next several years.
I'm reminded of my Yeats: the worst are full of passionate intensity.
ReplyDeleteChange is disruptive, and hurts.
ReplyDeleteChange from a male president to a female president is going to be incredibly painful for some.
ReplyDeleteWell, if it happens you can say you predicted it first. Trump, or Cruz, will "change" from a male to a female after taking office.
ReplyDeletePainful? Yeah, that would be a national trauma.
Well, if it happens you can say you predicted it first.
ReplyDeleteI'm not quite first.

Big discrepancy between the respective odds. The British betting houses got it right before, in 2012. And in 2008, and in 2004, and in 2000, and in 1996.
And on some the trauma, and everything else, will be utterly lost.
