The same 538 who has been claiming for 6 months that Trump couldn't get this far?

that's not an accurate account of 538's trump prediction history.

Yea you're probably right, I remember in the summer Nate gave Trump like a 5% chance. So I've always thought he undervalued Trump's chances.

Was anyone last summer giving Trump a better than 5% chance?

Trump certainly has a much better understanding of the pulse of many Americans than most anyone else.

Juzt watch the xebate and Trump was an inverted ahole. He is not a conservative. He is an Arnold Trumpzenegger.

Trump is the only candidate in the race whose name includes "rump." Take it FWIW.

Holy crap, the brain dead crowd boo'd him when he said there were no weapons of mass destruction found in Iraq. I mean, wut?

steve dave · « **Reply #1107 on:** February 14, 2016, 08:59:48 AM »

I mean, he's awful and nobody should vote for him but that of all the awful crap he says gets boo'd?

You have to remember the majority of the crowd is comprised of right to rise employees and other lobbyists that support Jeb bush. Of course they are going to boo him calling that out.

Technically they did find wmd's, just not very many and virtually none were usable. So to say there were "none" is pretty stupid (but hey, this is the pit, so not relevant).

I think he got boo'd for repeatedly attacking W, not for saying that, but whatevs carry on with the rhetoric

Signing a baby is a boss move. I wish he would have gone all Ricky Bobby on that baby and signed its forehead.

Well bite my bad person! A few years back the stupid ass Bush administration admitted that they knew there were no WMD before they started the war. Thanks BIG OIL! Of course the most of the public didn't know because the media didn't cover it, except for a 30 second mention of it by NBC News. Thanks BIG CORP.!

So who do you guys think Donald will nominate to the supremes? He's prolly gonna have to replace that old lady friend of Antons too. I don't think omarosa is ready.

He's got awesome lawyerly friends that will yuge additions to the Supreme Court. Or why not just make a reality show over who get the nomination aka The Apprentice. The Justice would be a huge hit. IMO

While I think Trump would make a terrible President, I probably wouldn't hate his nominees as muc as I would Rubio's or Cruz's so I would take it.

Well you're in luck then friend.

He does a great job of encapsulating why the working class is angry; unless I missed it he doesn't really explore why they are latching onto someone that symbolizes everything they rail against. Manipulating bankruptcy law to lay people off and not pay vendors who have significantly less capital, and eminent domain are two things that should kill him with his constituency.
