Doesn't it become harder to predict what might happen when you have the general public latching onto this which they seem to be? Is the expectation still that interest will simply dwindle over time? Doesn't there needs to be some crucial moment where he's dumped from the race and everyone understands "Ok, that kind of guy can never be president"?
We live in disturbed times, Karn. Reason itself is increasingly in disrepute.
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
..what rough beast, its toupee blown askew in the propwash,
Slouches towards Washington to be elected?
