December 11, 201510 yr Trump is a fascinating figure, no matter how you slice it. He's simultaneously entertaining and terrifying. His lead in the polls is vexing to party leaders, political experts, and casual observers alike. If his lead were to continue he could force a convention fight like we haven't seen since the '68 Democratic convention. If he somehow ended up in the presidency none of us have a clue as to what to expect. He doesn't speak in terms of policy or seem aware of the constitutional limits of the presidency, instead relying on personality and charisma to galvanize his followers. And in his followers he's unearthed a particularly virulent vain of American nationalism most were unaware existed. He's totally unlike anything we've seen before. It really is fascinating. Makes for a very, very interesting and entertaining spring.
December 12, 201510 yr We might've reached peak Trump. New Iowa poll: Cruz 31, Trump 21, Carson 13, Rubio 10, Bush 6, Paul 3, Christie 3, Huckabee 3 Des Moines Register That gives me the shivers.

As Ben Carson found out it's a whole new game when you're the one with the spotlight on them. Surprisingly Trump has survived this, Carson could not. Will be interesting to see how Cruz looks under the microscope!
