      4. But what eventually killed Cain, Bachmann, Gingrich was combination of their lack of $$ and personal liabilities.

      5. I think the two factors (the personal liabilities & lack of cash) should be seen as working together. Didn't have $$ to fight attacks

      6. Gingrich came closest to overturning the odds, in part because he had, for a time, sugar daddy in Sheldon Adelson.

      7. Adelson funded Gingrich enough to make him competitive in South Carolina but held back in Florida, dooming Newt to attack barrage.

      8. So question becomes: how much money does Trump really have and how much is he willing to spend.

      9. RT @Bencjacobs also that they stumbled under scrutiny as voters became aware of their weaknesses. Voters already know Trump's weaknesses

      10. MT @Panger2015 “Trump” is a brand. He doesn’t have to introduce himself to a larger audience. Free media means he won’t need as much $$

      11. RT @paulpakler Trump combines lessons of Palin, '12, Citizens United, & the right's persecution complex. He's the perfect candidate.

      12. So, arguably, Trump doesn't need as much money & is less vulnerable to personal attacks (b/c we know so much about him).

      13. As in 2012, the structural constant is there is presumptive establishment pick (Romney then, Bush now) & unhappy base.

      14. Given base had to swallow Romney in 2012 (and McCain in 2008) & still lost, they're likely to be even angrier now than then.

          @HeerJeet Isn't "The Base" a minority of GOP primary voters? They're the activist core, but in a presidential primary a larger group votes.

          @nothingsmonstrd @HeerJeet No. My understanding is that they're a plurality to majority of primary voters.

          @HeerJeet and given the movements for racial justice, which they resent, more likely to support candidate who essentially says "fuck you"

          15. Given structure of race, there is likely to be a populist alternative to Jeb. Right now, it's Trump. Question is: for how long?

          16. To clarify: I don't think Trump is going to win the nomination or even a single primary. Question though is: how long does he stay in?

          @HeerJeet I think w/enough money, they can make base recognize him as a demagogue by hammering at his pro-choice, pro-Democrat history

          @HeerJeet The activist core wants a true believer, but also there's the money men (w/ differing interests/hobbyhorses), & there are voters.
