#analysis, but I'm not willing to write Trump off just yet until we see more of how he plays in a general

The interesting thing is that he's been arguing this for a long time.

His major piece on this was back in August.

I think he recognizes something about Trump's talents that others wouldn't, but still exxagerates the significance.

He's definitely more right on the subject than just about anyone else.

Scott Adams is basically human feces, even if he's right on this.

You will get no argument from me on that front.

If Trump beats Clinton (albeit highly unlikely) how many Clinton supporters will concede that Sanders was a better candidate? Probably not very many.

I won't concede that because I don't believe it to be true.

He's not because Trump would beat him by more. The best candidate in each contest for the general election is being nominated (among those who ran; obviously many are better than Hillary and there might be someone at least as good as Trump).

If by "best candidate" you mean the most disliked, then your statement is correct.

You can't prove that it isn't.

Someone who hasn't faced nearly the media barrage of criticism or the Republican negativity machine like Clinton has isn't going to weather it very well.

And I'm guessing you're gonna cite public opinion polls from, what, 7 months out from the actual election?

In Scott Adams' Blog today (Sun Feb 28th), Scott Adam is now disavowing Trump, for Trump's "stumble" and "wavering support" of David Duke and the KKK.
LOL.

This analysis is almost as useful as analysis of Sneakers O'Toole, posted by BRTD.

I saw this live on the air a few days ago. I thought the analyses was surprisingly good, but I didn't want to post it because I thought I'd be laughed at Tongue.
