2) a steady third of our populace is congenitally stupid, not 45%+
Morbs OTM. Also, I find this concept sadly hilarious, like, we're so stupid we have to sub-quantify it. "No, we're not all idiots here, just about 37.3% of us."

If Trump got pushed out and ran third-party, wouldn't that at least mitigate some of the down-ballot problems for the GOP (people show up to pull the lever for Trump and vote for GOP down-ticket anyway)?

Does anyone even seriously talk about a Trump vs. Sanders match?
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 12 January 2016 18:20 (eight years ago) link
I would think die-hard Trumpists would hate the GOP for sabotaging their candidate and be erm kinda unsympathetic to voting a straight GOP ticket - after all, the party just betrayed them.
There's a lot of variable involved, I think no matter what a Trump third party run introduces instability into the GOP's path to victory, voter turnout, etc. and that alone would cost them, probably pretty badly.

my assumption re: the dancer is that it's a staffer who lost a bet

I assume he'll win one or two primaries. anywhere that involves minority or non college-educated votes though, he will lose.

in his case, yes. Part of my surprise is due to reading a right-wing pundit/prez candidate who can accurately cite historical precedent, draw a clear line of argument, and marshal facts in support of a point of view. Kind of anomaly these days. Much as I vehemently disagree with a lot of what he says.
