Donald Trump Is Never Going To Be President

[damnedifIknow]

Trump’s antics in the race for the Republican presidential nomination may make for great entertainment, but he still is never going to be president.

Here’s a question that seems to be rolling around in the back of the heads of pundits and political observers: could Donald Trump be the next Republican nominee for the White House? He is after all leading the polls right now and clearly has enough money to self-finance a White House run.

To be sure there is nothing in the laws of physics that prevents the possibility of a president Trump. But everything we know about the nominations process tells us that he simply isn’t going to win. Simply put his “strengths” don’t really mean much at all.

Look: we’re in the silly season right now. It’s August. Congress is about to go into recess. We still have six months before anyone actually votes. Nobody’s paying much attention to the Republican race except political junkies. News is in short supply. And whatever else you can say about him, Donald Trump makes good copy. For now, everyone’s got the popcorn out and they’re enjoying the show, right along with Ant-Man and Mission Impossible."

Having said that though we probably shouldn’t ignore Trump entirely, after all it is pretty interesting that one of America’s two great political parties can have it’s internal debate take over for a few months by a loud mouth bellowing blatantly racist things. But he’ll be off the national stage soon enough."

1. No but he's sure screwing up the Repubs.

I'm eternally grateful that he's not running as a Democrat.

2. I disagree that "news is in short supply". The news media reporting news is in short supply.

Maybe there just is not the demand?

3. There is no way that Trump will be the GOP nominee

5. That's what I said about Reagan!

I believe you are probably correct.....but the worlds a wacky place....

I'm sure lots of folks in Canada thought the same of Rob Ford

And I still can't wrap my brain around who the heck voted for Ted Cruz....

6. Not President, but as the GOP nominee it's very possible. He just needs to yell about

how much he loves Jesus and God, and start using ugly language aimed all minorities and trashing gay people. He will jump up in the polls. The uglier the better.

7. i would not write him off

he is doing better and has lasted longer than anybody thought possible. He has his own money, and he's not owned or beholden to anybody, which of course is what scares the establishment so much that they are crapping in their nice Armani suits.

many people in the right like him for the same reasons that people in the left like Bernie. He is not part of the established political machinery, he answers to no one, cannot be bribed or bought, and will not take orders from the corporate masters. There is a revolution building in this country, and for good or bad, trump is part of it.
