      1. It's been foolhardy to predict the end of Trump but I think this is the beginning of the end of Trump: http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2015/11/12/3721942/trump-says-ben-carson-has-a-lot-in-common-with-child-molesters/ …

      2. Trump just likened Ben Carson to a "child molester." This feels different than earlier insults at McCain, Megyn Kelly, Jeb Bush etc.

      3. McCain could be insulted because he was a loser who gave Obama the White House. Kelly was in media. Jeb another loser, etc.

      4. Attacking Carson is different. Carson is widely liked in GOP, even by people who don't support. Criticism by media have earned sympathy

      5. I could be wrong. Could be the white nationalist base is big enough that this won't hurt Trump. We will see.

      8. Everything Trump has done so far? That's just been a trailer. We're heading into the feature film now. "Birth of A Nation" I think.

      10. Of course, based on past experience, I'll be wrong and Trump will surge 5 or 10 points after this bonkers interview.

          @HeerJeet 1. i think it depends on how Carson responds. Trump could walk the statements back, then Carson blames the media for the spectacle

          @HeerJeet Does Trump think over the public reactions to his shock statements before he makes them? What do you think.

          @EricKleefeld @HeerJeet naming any of this a whistle could be called "political correctness". If Carson complains he steps into a trap.

          @HeerJeet The Trump thing is evidence that mere media presence can substitute for content. Until their are primaries he'll be around
