Trump has proved he is not subject to the traditional wisdom of election analysts. He famously said during his improbable 2016 campaign, "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?" Even he seemed amazed at the state of affairs - as he added, "It's, like, incredible."
A friend told me last night she doesn’t think Trump stands a chance of being the nominee much less win, I sincerely hope she’s right as I have my doubts. There are a lot of people out there who still think he’s got what it takes, which is horrifying. Thank you Pitt
Liberals have to consider GOP candidates with a simple calculation. Assign each candidate two values. One, how awful they would be as president. Two, how likely they are to win the general election. Trump scores off the charts on the first but low on the second, so he may be the best liberals can hope for, despite the existential risk. You are welcome, Stephanie
