      Trump went into a brief decline after the 2nd debate but bounced back and is now more popular than ever: http://elections.huffingtonpost.com/pollster/2016-national-gop-primary …

      I don't think Trump will suffer at all from this debate. Quite the contrary. Aside from Iowa, where he lags Carson, he's in good shape.

      So will Trump win? I still don't think so because he doesn't have GOTV infrastructure and gets bored easily.

      A Trump with a little bit more fire in the belly could win this. But he seems tired and bored. Maybe will pass on mantle to Cruz.

      If Jeb drops out, Trump has every reason to declare victory and say that Cruz will carry on his legacy.

      My operating theory is that Trump's real goal is not to win but get attention & to ratfuck Jeb. (Note: ratfuck is a technical term).

          @heerjeet re. him getting bored: I think it'd be hilarious if he managed to *win the nom*, waited until October and then dropped out.

          @charles_gaba @HeerJeet entire GOP is becoming more of a marketing platform for individual personality brands than an actual political party

          @HeerJeet you're not the first to float that theory. Jeb is the yin to Trump's yang.

          @Bencjacobs Trump's hatred for Jeb is palpable.

          @HeerJeet Trump's support in Iowa has taken a hit, which is possibly more relevant than national polls (if either is relevant at all.)

          @HeerJeet A Trump who wanted to win wldn't alienate impt party actors. Wldn't campaign as insult comedian.

          @hoodedu @HeerJeet I'm not saying you're wrong, but you're also applying a "normal person" metric to someone whose motivations are abnormal.

          @HeerJeet A Trump who behaved like a real candidate could win. But that's just saying serious candidates are serious.

          @HeerJeet I always say, you can fuck a rat, but it takes a very small...conscience. Blowing Bush out makes a road for grifters. 2, 3, Many.
