Updated; Now 31! Stages Of The Media's Trump Memes From "He Won't Run To Ummm"
I would have expected that at some point the reality of Trump's ever ascending poll results, both nationally and in the key primary states, would have curbed their wilder excesses. Yes, in some cases (as detailed at the link) this has happened, how could it not?
But still the die hards in the political Establishment persist in not seeing the wood for threes-so strong are their prejudices, links to the gravy train and just plain willful blindness that they persist in making fools of themselves over Trump.
And who am I to stop them? I just chronicle their foolishness which I trust gives some amusement to some and opens the eyes of others who may have, in all innocence, believed there is such a thing as non-biased media or, in general political journalists (or "JournOlists" to be exact).
We can now add the next in the series of Trump is finished/will be finished/will likely be finished memes. The greatest meme of all "Trump has no chance/will not win/has a 2% chance of getting the nomination" lies ahead for another day.
Once that has passed the final meme "Trump has no chance of beating Hillary" (or whomever) will be the ultimate meme. The number of "pundits" who have uttered those lines as they trod the boards is legion but we will have enormous pleasure in addressing them and their auguries in due course.
