As for the Communications Director...well..."duh", I guess. I'm happy for her if she really had the courage to walk away once she realized what she was supporting, but how an intelligent woman doesn't see this from the get-go is beyond me.

Hillary or Bernie...perhaps we just aren't a very bright country.
Seriously, though...I am obviously a anti-Trump conservative...I can't make heads-or-tails of anyone supporting this man. But a politically-savvy, seasoned PR professional? Hard to imagine.

Manhattan WILL own the Presidency with either Billary or Trump and the only option to them that's been seriously floated,... Bloomberg, the quintessential Manhattanite.

Is that people are so polarized, even within the "Republican" demographic, that stuff like this just serves to wedge people further apart. I haven't seen anybody change their mind about their candidate of choice. They'll just use whatever articles are written to solidify the stance they already have.
I don't know how much Cruz will be able to consolidate and rally non-Trumpers. But it definitely appears the Trumpers are going to stay Trumpers, to the very end. And that end will be getting slaughtered on the first Tuesday in November.

It's called confirmation bias.
Mar 29, 2016, 12:06 PM

It's the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms one's beliefs or hypotheses, while giving disproportionately less consideration to alternative possibilities. The effect is stronger for emotionally charged issues and for deeply entrenched beliefs.

showed that most of them would vote for Cruz if he's the nominee after a brokered convention.
But I don't really understand the fealty to a particular candidate. If you're voting based on principle, then your vote shouldn't be about how much you like a particular person or not. It should be about how that person can be used to advance the principles you think are right. So be a partisan on behalf of your principles, but don't be a partisan on behalf of a candidate.

Why would someone spend 10s-100 million of his own money just to get 12% of the vote and have no ambition to actually win? All the other stuff seems plausible but not this.

Well first of all he's certainly not spending 100's of millions of his own money and he is definitely taking money from supporters.
But regardless of that, let's say he spends like ~ 20 million on his campaign. Compare that to say, running an add in the superbowl. That is a TON of branding opportunity for trump so at that price it's a steal. He has the world's attention for just a few million dollars?
THAT would be my best guess here.

As logical as your statement is and as much as I'd like to that that you are right; this guy has been spewing crap for so many years I think there is just a sizable minority that just doesn't care and will follow him anyway.

From skimming the article, she signed on as communications director of a Trump Super PAC in July, and it was shut down in October - wouldn't say she's even been involved in his campaign.
