Cruz really is the most unlikable candidate. And in this clown car, that's saying something.

After NH a bunch of third tier candidates are going to drop out and Trump's low favorability numbers make it more likely their supporters will consolidate around whatever establishment candidate performed best. 35% of the vote is okay for the first few primaries but to win the whole thing you really want 50%+, doubly so for Trump as he is likely to get screwed at the convention. In 1992 Bill Clinton lost the first four primaries but still ended up winning 51% of all votes.

Trump doesn't have good favorability numbers, but they're not terrible either. Actually better than El Jebe and a few of the others.

Also, Bill won because the first four primaries were won by 4 different people, Iowa was ignored by everyone not from there, the two following NH were Maine and South Dakota ie nobody cared about them either, and most of the South was packed into a 3 day stretch in early March right afterwards. Trump cannot lose a single early primary but also won't be facing a situation where all the other clowns split the vote for very long - by Nevada at the latest the field will be down to him and 2-3 other viable campaigns, probably exactly 1 by Super Tuesday as the establishment puts enormous pressure on everyone not named Trump Slayer to drop out.

I saw an interesting argument the other day that Trump's fans have been following him long enough that there's a momentum there in itself; deserting him now would be admitting that they were wrong, and so they won't.

Is it true? I doubt it, but if Trump keeps going after losing Iowa, expect to see that reasoning appear again.

I also really doubt this. It's easy enough to say 'I like Trump, but this other guy is also a good candidate' or 'I like Trump but I can't be bothered to go vote' or just edge away over a few weeks and then slowly edit this into never having liked Trump in a serious way in your internal narrative.

Bad luck if you were caught on camera with a MAGA hat and a placard though.

There was some discussion of this earlier, surgeons acquire weird habits with their hands because of the sterility requirements while operating. Can't exactly swing them around naturally or you might touch something.

How dare you. The shutdown was necessary and worthwhile to send a message and then relent a couple weeks later with absolutely no concessions from the opposition party.

Not true! Mitch McConnell got them to add $2b in funding for an Ohio River locks project in the bill that opened the government back up. Concessions!
