      1. A confession: I got suckered by the pro-Rubio pundits.

      2. Looking over my old tweets & essays, there's a lot I got right: the staying power of Trump, Cruz's hold on the conservative base.

      3. The one thing I got wrong was I thought Rubio had a shot. I should take responsibility but I blame Douthat, Chait, Silver & Co.

      4. Everyone who is smarter than me said Rubio was formidable talent & frontrunner. I turned blind eye to evidence to the contrary.

      5. This is a lesson in how peer-pressure works in journalism. You gotta fight instinct to defer to the Wise Pundits.

      7. This is the first time I expressed skepticism of Rubio, in October 2015.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/statuses/650451228518969344?tw_i=650451228518969344&tw_e=details&tw_p=archive …

      @jledbetter I do think based on polling there's little evidence of any grassrooots enthusiasm for Rubio, which is a big problem!

      8. On the plus side, I did realize, contrary to conventional wisdom, that Trump outshone Rubio in early debates:https://twitter.com/ddale8/status/629500121747693568 …

      Pundit consensus: Marco Rubio did best, little-known Ohio Gov. John Kasich elevated himself, Trump bad bad bad. We'll see...

      9. Anyways, I'd encourage people to reread their tweets & posts from last year. It's instructive to see where you went wrong & right

          @CorComm You were right! The only reason I hesitate was I though GOP would get it's act together to stop it!

          When establishment politicians/media mock fringe candidates who are fueled by rage and resentment, it only serves to amplify their potency.

          Cory Booker elected to Senate in NJ special election today. He'll be POTUS in 2016 and you can take that to the bank.
