      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.

      12. Could be that NBC poll is an anomaly, that Trump is in fact finished. But we'd need to see actual evidence of that.

      13. It's possible that NBC poll is faulty and elite consensus that Trump has met his Waterloo is right. We'll have to wait & see.

      14. Most likely scenario is Trump is defeated not by GOP & Fox but by chaos of his own campaign. That he just crashes & burns.

      15. Commentators have raised good objections to that NBC survey. We need to wait for the real polls to measure debate fall out.

      16. To return to the Donald Trump & Rob Ford analogy, mistake outsiders make is to assume their buffoonery is a liability.

      17. To the Ford/Trump fan, buffoonery is not a drawback but in fact central to the appeal.

      18. There's a plebeian nihilism behind the Ford/Trump phenomenon, a sense that the system is crooked, that civility is a corrupt facade

      19. For a plebeian nihilist, the clowning of a Trump/Ford is the point: it's a way of thumbing your nose at the corrupt powers that be

          @HeerJeet Given what you know about Wall Street, do you deny that the fundamental nexus of politics in Washington is corrupt?
