Post writer Chris Cillizza admits to being wrong when he wrote in June that no one should take Trump seriously. In his latest column he admits he was wrong and explains why. He was wrong because:
“I had NEVER EVER seen a reversal in how people perceive a candidate who is as well known as Trump — much less a reversal in such a short period of time. I based my conclusion that Trump would never be a relevant player in the Republican primary fight on the ideas that once people 1) know you and 2) don’t like you, you can’t change those twin realities much.
That was 100 percent true. Until Donald Trump proved it (and me) wrong.
Point taken. Never say “never” in politics. Thanks for reminding me of that old adage, Donald.”
The Donald is proving a lot of folks wrong. Let’s see if he can do it again on Thursday night during the debate or if he crashes and burns. If he does well, our party is in trouble.
