30. That would be astounding - if he became such a public joke that he goes into seclusion.

although it'd be nice! I know I personally could seriously stand to take a break from this guy. But his ego and his narcissism both seem to be so strong, vast, and profound, that I don't think he could stand NOT being out in the public arena, stomping and careening wildly around, like a drunk F-5 tornado, sucking up as much attention as possible, and spewing out as much wreckage, ruin, debris, and general negativity as possible. And good attention/bad attention - it doesn't seem to make a difference to him! And he doesn't care!

Besides, he still sounds and behaves as though he's sure he'll win and he's merely angry that there are those who have the nerve to say he isn't, especially if he continues to embrace the bubble world as he seems to. Meanwhile, he's getting angrier, too. Stuff isn't caving to him like he's used to having it do. His "reality" inside that bubble world - where TV audiences adored him, Pox Noise was a wide-open door anytime he felt like ringing them up, he was on the cover of all kinds of magazines, a celebrity in his own right, and everybody wanted some little rub up against that Trump name and gold-plated perceived luster.

This campaign has opened many eyes about The Donald. He'll still have his true believers - because they cling to that bubble world as much as he does. And they WANT, WANT, REEEEEEALLY WANT it to be true. So the faithful will stay faithful, and the true believers will still truly believe.

Besides, nobody wants to admit they were wrong.

Many people are loathe to admit they made a mistake. I mean - look at who their nominee is!

And people REALLY, deeply and dearly don't want to admit they've been HAD.
