I actually don't think that's true.
Trump let 15 candidates kill themselves, and was the last man standing.
I think the only person he actually beat was Jeb! Everyone else kinda took care of themselves.
If there were, say, 2 moderate candidates, Cruz, the obligatory Rand Paul run, and Trump... I highly doubt we'd be having this conversation.

Uh... Jeb, Kasich, Cruz and Rand Paul were all in the primary, weren't they?
With 30 others. I'm saying if it were only 4 or 5 candidates from the beginning.

i don't even think he really beat jeb. he was just such a dull voice among the shouting that he never got the coverage he needed to gain any traction, and the campaign just ran out of gas.
trump had the money to financially sustain a campaign against a dozen jokers without having to expend much (if any) of his resources on fundraising, all he had to do was just wait it out and be the last man standing, like you said. now that money is nowhere near enough to go up against the entire democratic party, and people are realizing how much of a fart in the wind his joke of a campaign really is.

Even after all of that, Rubio could have easily cleaned house but then made that debate gaffe. He was surging like crazy in the early state polls and it would've only been a matter of time before he was chosen.
And it is so weird that it took Republicans forever to even be willing to consider the guy and then they immediately let him go after the debate mistake. Rubio is practically as right-wing as it gets in terms of policy, but I guess the base also wanted the bluster that only Trump or Cruz could provide. There is no doubt in my mind that afterthoughts like Christie and Jeb were wise to target Rubio as his surge was inevitable and that would've cock-blocked them from getting the establishment voters...ultimately, their negative ads against him kept him in check and then Christie delivered the knockout blow.
But yes, Trump benefited from a wide field (that stayed wide for too long) and the terrible mathematics of the Republican primary system.

I think Rubio could have even weathered the storm if Christie didn't decide to commit a murder-suicide on stage.

They've all got to be kicking themselves now...Rubio was faring the best of them all in head-to-head polls against Clinton and was certainly sufficiently conservative enough for all of them. But since it was impossible for any of the establishment-types to win the nomination with Rubio standing in the way, they were willing to throw grenades all over the ship.

i don't know how I feel about this thought that just crossed my mind, but how freaking hilariously badass would it be if president hillary finds the hottest male intern in the white house, bones him in the oval office and just unashamedly announces it to the nation with a "well, now we're even" press conference
Does it make me a bad person to have thought of that years ago?

hey, I'm not voting for Trump like most of the people I know seem to be, so at least there's that.

In order for anyone/ anything on the right today to get anywhere they must have champion voices within their echo chamber. It seems as if Trump is losing more and more of those each day and the ones he has left are on the fringe or the verge of fringe.
Trump's ego will be bruised and he'll fade into reality tv oblivion. But what I'm more interested in, is how the right will rebuild, and especially how their media will regroup. Will they learn? Or will they double down?

What's the over-under on Trump proving early notion right and him dropping out of things get real ugly?
Not before he mentions all of his children 20 times each for his administration, of course.

It may take him until the first debate for it to sink in how truly in over his head he is.

I fully expect him to not debate. He'll come up with some excuse.

Trump's Economic Speech: Talking about all the economic issues but no talk of how to fix them. How typical.
It's quite entertaining to see so many shouting protesters getting kicked out.

I really can't see Trump's ego allowing him to bow out. He's in this to the bitter end. And then of course he'll blame it on everyone but himself. He's already saying it's rigged.

Yeah my thoughts too. He's not a quitter. He's a winner. He wins a lot.

I know you guys played down the seizure video I posted before of Hillary. It appears she has a medical body man near her at all times. In Vegas she was getting heckled and the body man rushed to her side on the podium. See picture below
In this series of photos you can see him at her side appearing to hold a quick injection device that could be the anti-anxiety-convulsant-seizure drug Diazepam (aka Valium). It would go directly into her bloodstream stopping a seizure quickly.
Who is this mystery man? Why was he so concerned about her being heckled?
Do high stress situations cause him to fear she might have an episode?
If you want to question Trumps psychiatric fitness to be Potus we must also ask objective questions about the physical health of both candidates.
There was a big to do about McCains health and skin cancer history in 2008.

About A Third Of Bernie Sanders Supporters Still Aren't Backing Clinton
And we never will. Guess she doesn't need those ~5,000,000 votes.

About a sixth of Bernie supporters wouldn't have voted for Bernie had he been the candidate.

Why would they really need to? The primary is the new general election in most races in this country and it's the same for the Democrats. Win the Democratic nomination and it's an obvious slam dunk in the fall. Bernie would already have Trump on the ropes by this point.
