Buckley, will publish a special issue on Friday opposing Donald Trump's bid for the presidency, according to a source with knowledge of the issue's contents. Can Big Establishment Conservative Media stump the Trump?

How much of that will actually be interesting and provocative commentary and journalism and not just "poo poo him dumb golden hair"? Every time I try to read their cover stories, my eyes kind of glaze over because of all of the "BUY GOLD AND STOCK GUNS" advertisements.

I'm confident that each of those 22 intellectuals will also tell us who they endorse instead of Trump, and why. It's not like they're worthless pundit cowards whose careers are looking pretty shaky right now.

It'll be all "sixty years ago the founder of this illustrious publication argued that the John Birch Society should be kicked out of the conservative movement because its kookiness threatened the credibility of the greater movement. Today we have assumed this great mantle..." And no one will get the reference and no one will care.

Top Bunk Wanker posted:Rand Paul, much like his dad, sounds okay if you listen to him for 59 seconds or less. Anything more and you run the risk of him following up with "and we should abolish every federal department and revert our currency back to the gold standard" as punctuation. It's the reverse for Donald Trump, the longer people listen to him the more they like him

Joementum posted:I said the other day that the Palin endorsement signals a possible acceptability of a Trump nomination in certain party actors, meaning the chance was above zero but very small. I mean no offense. You're a smart guy. But... Joementum posted:With Trump actually running, I think it's very unlikely that we make it to August 6 with the Fox News debate rules intact. Joementum posted:If he really, really wanted to, Trump could pour millions into an uncontested early primary or caucus and maybe win it. Like, it's not absurd to think he could buy the vote in the Virgin Islands or Alaska. But that would be a tacit admission that his candidacy is a joke and require strategic thinking on his part, neither of which are possibilities. He can self-fund his campaign as long as he wants, and if he does he'll pick up a delegate or two in the states that award them proportionally with no viability threshold. Much more likely is that he stays in for a couple of debates and then quits to be on the next season of The Apprentice in the fall. quote:="Joementum" post="446985030"] Joementum posted:
Joementum posted:For what it's worth (probably not much) Trump has said he's going to file his finances and won't need either of the 45 day extensions. Joementum posted:The "not-Romney" bounces were cycles of a candidate having a nice media event (Cain winning the FL straw poll, Bachmann winning the IA straw poll, Gingrich being snarky in a debate, Santorum surging in a flawed CNN poll) followed by a couple weeks of them surging in the polls, which led to media scrutiny and occasionally negative advertising from Romney, which led to their downfall. This is well described in the chapter on the GOP nomination from The Gamble. Joementum posted:Prediction: Bernie Sanders will have more pledged delegates than Donald Trump. Joementum posted:Bernie could get one delegate and it would still be true. Joementum posted:Nah, he'll burn out as we get closer to Iowa. He's not going to put together any sort of actual organization, or if he does he'll just fire them all a week later. Once we're in November through January the campaigns will start going live with TV ads in the early primary state and round up people to knock on doors and sign caucus pledge cards. Some of the candidates will winnow out at that point; Lindsey Graham and George Pataki will run out of cash and either drop out or just show up for debates, if they can even get invited. As the field narrows, Trump won't be able to break his ceiling of ~25% of the base and the Bush / Walker / Rubio triumvirate* will start to crowd out the other candidates. Why would you have confidence in any prediction you make? Everything you predicted before has either been disproven or it looks very shaky now, so close to Iowa. I have no idea what course the race will take, even if it has a conventional ending. I used to think Trump had zero or close to zero chance of getting the nomination. Now I know only one thing: that I know nothing about what's next for Trump. Jeb called him the chaos candidate. He was right.

Yeah joe never asked to be the thread guru, and it's funny everyone asks him every page what he thinks about TRUMPS CHANCES considering we should all pretty well know by now the way he seems to analyze this race. He's been roped into answering so much and he's pretty well read on this stuff and now everyone thinks he's infallible or something.

William Bear posted:I mean no offense. You're a smart guy. But... Half the things you quoted are arguably still good predictions. Admittedly, I didn't think he'd actually file his paperwork, which wasn't so crazy given the number of times in the past he'd trolled the media with speculation he'd run. Once he did, I said he'd either get bored, people would get bored of him, or he'd fall down when voting and winnowing starts. If you want to prove that prediction wrong, you'll have to wait until voting starts! Related: I've said before I also failed to predict that the evangelicals would pick Cruz and, as a result, rated his chances too low early on. But I don't think anyone predicted the evangelicals would pick Cruz.
