      1. Living in Rob Ford's Toronto is turning out to be excellent preparation for understanding Trump-era American politics.

      2. Memo to the elite media & political class: all the things about Trump that make you cringe are what his base loves about him.

      3. Rob Ford talked about performing cunnilingus on his wife. It did not hurt his poll numbers one bit. Not one bit.

      4. Rob Ford used every vile racial and ethnic slur imaginable. His base did not care.

      5. Everything about Trump that you might consider crude, rude, or even vile is, to his base, a mark of authenticity. Proof that he's honest.

      6. To re-iterate: I'm not saying Trump will get GOP nomination. In truth he has no plausible path that takes him there.

      7. But even without a path to the nomination, if Trump keeps his 20-25% base and stays in race, he'll do GOP a lot of harm.

      8. If this poll holds up, then Trump has already re-shaped GOP race in a major way:https://twitter.com/ianbremmer/status/630395030235140097 …

          @HeerJeet Apparently that was an online poll done with Survey Monkey. I'd be very, very leery of it.

          9. Another thing: @BillKristol says Donald Trump is finished. Do you realize what this means? Soon Trump will be Emperor of the Galaxy

          10. Establishment favorites are Bush/Walker/Rubio. None crack the top four and all are single digit. Think on that.

          @HeerJeet People claimed Trump helps Bush by making him look sane - but is he undermining Bush by making him look even more of a dish rag?

          @HeerJeet @ianbremmer The poll is bullshit. The people saying they will vote for Trump are not the people who turn out to the polls. The end
