Given how Trump has done in "disfavorablity" polls I expect him not to drop but simply to not make any gains as other candidates drop out. He's pretty much already got most of the supporters he's got a chance at getting.

Trump's primary advantage is that he can say almost anything and get away with it because he's Trump and that's what people expect from him. Also that he has a rock-solid base of support. It will not be enough to get him the nomination, but he could seriously win a primary or two if he were to stick it out that long.

It would be amazing if Trump just never dropped out and spend the entire primary popping up at random venues to talk about how rich he is and how, no disrespect, trashy the place is compared to the classy places he usually frequents. Go on TV the same night as the Republican Convention and talk about how he would be the greatest Republican Nominee in the history of ever.

Pretty sure the theory that holds he'll stay in for the first debate then drop just in time for the next season of Apprentice before he can actually lose a primary contest is dead on the money.

Trump's actually running, no dream is too big now. Joementum posted:Game... CHANGED! I'm sure they're praying every night, as hard as any late night host, that those numbers stay high and they get to write at least a full chapter on Trump in Game Change III. I'd vote for BJ, provided Bobby finds a nice chimpanzee for a running mate.

Hey, I am down with Jindal because he battles demons http://www.newoxfordreview.org/article.jsp?did=1294-jindal quote:Though she had not said anything, I knew something was wrong. Susan and I had developed an intimate friendship; indeed, our relationship mystified observers, who insisted on finding a romantic component where none existed. I called her after the University Christian Fellowship (UCF) meeting -- UCF is an Inter-Varsity Christian group composed of undergraduate and graduate students. Though the interdenominational group's weekly program of songs and prayers had produced the usual emotional high among most members, Susan had left the meeting in a very sullen mood. I asked her to join a group of us who were attending a Christian a cappella concert to be held on campus that same evening.

Alter Ego posted:They don't have much in Western MA or the Cape, either. Central MA seems to be the only place where there's a large concentration of rear end in a top hat Republicans, and even then they're not Tea Party types so much as establishment, FYGM rich-people types. I know this is a few pages too late, but the Merrimack Valley is FULL of rear end in a top hat Republicans. I can't drive through my city without seeing some jackass with a confederate flag bumper sticker.
