Denial: Trump is delusional. There's no way he's in it to win. There's no way he could win.
Anger: Why the hell is he polling so high? Are the repukes dumber than we thought?
Bargaining: Fine, he's popular with some of those ignorant, racist morons and he'll make it interesting, but another repuke will win, right?
Depression: it saddens me so that his bullshit is consumed and accepted by so many idiots on the right.
Acceptance: Even if he takes the nomination, Bernie or Hillary will mop the floor with him.

(145,291 posts)I am enjoying watching trump screw up the RNN's plans for a controlled primary fight and easy win for an establishment candidate. Trump is alienating key segments of the general election voting population who will be happy to vote against the GOP. I have been having fun watch Trump in action

(94,585 posts)...even though Trump is leading, he's still only getting 20-25% in a 17 person field. As candidates fall away, I suspect he'll remain at his ceiling and the votes will consolidate with someone more "sane" (at this point, Rubio or Kasich).
That said, it'll be a wild ride until then...

(5,624 posts)primaries go from proportional to winner-take-all. At which point he'll drop out and pledge his delegates to whoever is in the lead - Jeb! or Walker.
He's there to suck up the votes that would normally go to Fuckabee or Prick Erry or a Ricky-man-on-dog. The GOP establishment always wins primaries.
Watch for the new Trump reality show and Miss USA/Miss Universe pageants on Faux spring 2017.
