      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.

      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 Until he gets sick of pissing away his money, or bolts for a third-party run. Either could happen.

          .@HeerJeet Perot did not spend big $$, but got lotsa free media by playing the role of Perot. Trump can do same.

          @HeerJeet Scott Walker will be the populist champion. He has a record and Koch money backing him.
