What I would argue is key to this situation — and, in particular, key to understanding how the conventional wisdom on Trump/McCain went so wrong — is the reality that a lot of people are, in effect, members of a delusional cult that is impervious to logic and evidence, and has lost touch with reality.
I am, of course, talking about pundits who prize themselves for their centrism.
- Paul Krugman, reflecting
on Donald Trump's rise in the polls after taking his shot at former
POW Senator John McCain, when the best and brightest all predicted it
was the beginning of the end for Trump.
It's a shrewd argument, and the article is going on the p3 Readings list.
