Comments to Steve Sailer<\/a>:<\/p>\n

* The Republican Presumptive Nominee keeps racking up even bigger victories.<\/p>\n

The Democratic Presumptive Nominee keeps losing primaries?<\/p>\n

* Trump is sitting pretty and looking good with everyone he needs except suburban women\u2026Hillz and the Dems supporting her sure have a lot of dangling swords to worry about. They have to hope for:
\nNo serious charges in her email scandal, that Russia doesn\u2019t leak hacked emails from her server to swing the election, that no Muslim terror attack(s) happen, that her health holds up, that Bernie can be put to bed and the Super delegates don\u2019t suddenly switch, that the bernouts don\u2019t chimpout at the convention, that Obama gets on the ship, that Trump doesn\u2019t loudly start demanding the Jeffrey Epstein sex tapes sitting in Florida be checked for Bill\u2019s appearances, that her various 80s interviews talking about freeing a guilty rapist as a trial layer don\u2019t surface, and, finally, that her various speeches to wall street pledging allegiance aren\u2019t leaked\u2026Am I missing anything?<\/p>\n

* To be fair to Ted Cruz though, he does much better in states that don\u2019t indulge this antiquated custom of holding elections.<\/p>\n

* Remember: Trump\u2019s a shark. He\u2019s also future obsessed in all of his thinking (like all the best real estate people). He\u2019s also a longtime reality TV star who can\u2019t be branded by the msm. Essentially he\u2019s the opposite of George W Bush.<\/p>\n

Remember: Hillary is the weakest candidate since Dukakis. Media screams about Trump\u2019s problem with women meanwhile Hillary is getting trounced with men voters.<\/p>\n

* And yet Trump only got 74.6% of the aggregate Republican vote. That means the transgendered block must have broke hard for Cruz.<\/p>\n

By the way, World War T is getting pretty real in North Carolina. Can\u2019t wait for the Nullification Crisis of 2016 over the Toilet of Abominations with North Carolina replacing South Carolina from 1832 Nullification Crisis. Just further proof that Trump is our Andrew Jackson reincarnate.<\/p>\n

* Does Trump have anything to worry about?<\/p>\n

* If his expectations are comfortably low (losing in a landslide while facing years of legal problems from the dirt his opponents will have dug up on him), then I think he has nothing to worry about, because anything that happens could only improve his chances.<\/p>\n

* But while Trump\u2019s negatives right now are higher, they are *not* as locked in. They are based on (my guess):
\n\u2014 history as bombastic TV showman
\n\u2014 his rude remarks (about appearance and such\u2013unappealing to a lot of women)
\n\u2014 media attacks as \u201cHitler\u201d
\nTrump can\u2019t change his TV history, but people can re-evaluate how relevant it is. He can avoid nasty remarks that are not on substance or Hillary\u2019s actual incompetence\\sleazy dealings. He can carry himself as a crusader, fun, lively, tough, hard hitting\u2013but a more presidential one.<\/p>\n

Most of he can take on the \u201cTrump is Hitler\u201d thing. I can imagine a single response on the immigration question at the 1st debate:
\n\u2014 Hillary thinks our college graduates are getting too many job offers at too high pay, so they need more foreign competition
\n\u2014 Hillary thinks our low-wage workers are getting paid too much, so they need even more illegals crossing the border to compete with them for jobs and keep their wages down
\n\u2014 Hillary thinks her rich WallStreet buddies funding her campaign aren\u2019t making enough money and American working people are making too much, so we need more foreigners coming in to keep wages down and profits up.
\n\u2014 I don\u2019t think any of that crap. I\u2019m a rich guy who actually *loves* America and Americans. I think American jobs *belong* to Americans. I think high wages are good\u2013prosperity for Americans. I think *honest* businessmen can make a profit without importing cheap foreign labor. I think our economy\u2013and business\u2013can roar ahead with higher wages for hard working Americans and prosperity for all Americans \u2026 not just Hillary\u2019s sleazy WallStreet and Washington cheap-foreign labor loving cronies.<\/p>\n

Trump realistically probably only has one great chance to flip the perception and win it\u2013the first debate. But I think something like that above would do it.<\/p>\n

My key point: Hillary is the *known* bad choice. Trump still has the opportunity to frame himself as a good choice.<\/p>\n

* Queen Hill has to have a POC on the ticket to keep the circular firing squad from breaking out, which it\u2019s going to do after her in any event.<\/p>\n

* Interesting meme by Obama, the \u201cyou didn\u2019t build that\u201d thing, or in this case the \u201cyou just lucky if you be successful\u201d thing. Notice how he keeps coming back to this. How is it that no one calls him on this, which is in fact a full-throated endorsement of HBD. Why don\u2019t they \u201cWatson\u201d him, I wonder.<\/p>\n

By logical extension he\u2019s saying that of course the \u201cblank slate\u201d is a myth, and if you\u2019re lucky enough to be born to a high-IQ family, you basically have it made. Success is expected \u2013 and not of your own doing, being merely a consequence of your (dare I say it) superior IQ.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
