The Very Serious People are just so sure Trump is going to be over any day now. Scott Sumner declares dogmatically that Trump simply won't win the GOP nomination.

And of course, he in all likelihood won't. But that doesn't mean that he can't hang around for a long time.
Another thing you hear is that Trump has topped out at 24%-no way can he get over 30%. Maybe, though how great can the presumptive favorite Jeb feel falling to 6%.
Warren Buffet is having a good day today with his new deal buying Precision Castparts. But the best part of the CNBC interview is where they asked him about Trump. Buffet thinks he's for real:
"Warren Buffett said Monday that fellow billionaire Donald Trump has a solid base of support in the race for the Republican presidential nomination that seems unshakable by the real estate mogul's controversial comments."
"Trump will have a block of delegates when the convention arrives, but with the huge field of GOP candidates, it's possible no one will have a majority, Buffett told CNBC's "Squawk Box" in a wide-ranging interview."
"I wouldn't be surprised if [Trump] maintained a quite a solid base for some time," Buffett said—adding that he won't run out of money.

"Trump's latest controversial comments were about Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, following Thursday's GOP debate."
"According to the latest NBC News Online Poll conducted by SurveyMonkey, however, Trump remains at the top of the list of GOP candidates among would-be Republican primary voters."
"The overnight poll was conducted for 24 hours from Friday evening into Saturday."
"Buffett—a Democrat and supporter of Hillary Clinton—called the GOP race so far a "spectator sport." He declined to say which Republican he'd like to see Clinton face in the general election."
"If I gave that prediction it would be sort of a kiss of death for the candidate," Buffett joked—saying he'd like Clinton "to run against the whole field."

So you tell me Mr. Sumner: is Buffet saying what he means here or not?
