Have you heard of this group? Well I'm their President. But seriously folks. I do have a hard time these days believing that he is not a Democratic plant. Anyway, it's nice to see that a political scientist is thinking what I'm thinking:
"As a political scientist, I am reluctant to make predictions about elections, especially about the behavior of a single individual. But I'm willing to make an exception this year, because the presidential campaign is turning out to be such an exceptionally crucial (and entertaining) one. Here is what I see as the step-by-step best case scenario for putting a Democrat in the White House next year, with a little help from Donald Trump."
"1. From now until the end of this year, the other GOP presidential candidates continue to criticize Trump, particularly for his outrageous remarks about John McCain's military record. They say he does not represent Republican values and is unfit to be president. (During the Vietnam war, Trump received several draft deferments and did not serve in the military)."

Now, hold on here! Are you telling me you see this circus going on till the end of the year? You mean we get to continually see this for another 5 months? Man that is a long time for the GOP to be twisting in the wind.
Don't get me wrong without Trump I think the Dems could-and probably would-still have won. But Trump makes it a heck of lot easier and a hell o fa lot more fun. If the Rick Perry, Lindsay Graham, and Scott Walker are still arguing with Trump in December that looks very bad for Republicans and so very good for Democrats.
"2. Trump refuses to apologize or abandon his campaign for the GOP nomination. Throughout 2015, he continues to attract large crowds and major media coverage as he travels around the country appealing to the Tea Party and Hair Club for Men crowds."
"3. Panicked by Trump's momentum, all the other GOP candidates—Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal, Rand Paul, Chris Christie, Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, Carly Fiorina, George Pataki, Lindsay Graham, and Rick Perry, except Ben Carson and Ted Cruz—spend a large chunk of their respective campaign funds and press interviews denouncing Trump, giving him even more media attention."
If he is still getting this huge crowds by then they will be right to panic-they are already right to panic. Dreier then predicts a third party run in April once Trump sees he can't win. I got to admit if you game this out it all works out perfectly-for liberal Democrats:
"16. On Election Day in November 2016, Trump wins 3 to 5 percent of the total vote in key swing states like Florida, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Ohio, and Indiana, siphoning off enough votes from the GOP candidate to hand those states' Electoral College votes to the Democratic nominee."
"17. Thanks to Trump, the Democratic candidate—Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders—wins the White House."
"After the campaign is over, Trump purchases a remote island off the coast of Greece. He retires from his business empire to write a dystopian book about the future of America, although he offers to open a Trump hotel and casino "to provide jobs to the Greek people so they won't come to America as their economy collapses."
"Trump refuses to allow reporters or visitors (with the exception of Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Don King, Antonin Scalia, and Ann Coulter) to visit or interview him at his island hideaway. However secret aerial photographs of his retreat mansion reveal that Trump flies both the American and Confederate flags on his front lawn."
I'm going to leave off the gloss about Bernie Sanders.

I know a lot of these folks can't bear to be 'kingmakers' and just tell the truth but it's not going to be Bernie-it will be Hillary. She could win without Trump but this would make her win more impressive.
The irony is that Trump is acting like a ferocious bee right now. He is really hurting the Republicans-as he makes it obvious what hypocrites they really are; there is nothing he's said that they don't agree with; as for his insulting McCain-they had no problem when George W. Bush did it.
So the outcome of this is clear: like a ferocious bee he is giving the GOP a hell of a sting right now. Once it's over and their in intensive care he will see that like a bee he's now lost all his vitality. He may as well move to Greece as his entire tv empire is bust now thanks to his campaign.
UPDATE: Got to admit it's getting better, it's getting better all the time. Post McCain comments Trump: leads the GOP field.
