					<description><![CDATA[K-E:

The Ron Paul joke was just that, a joke.

My actual point was in the post about Romney&#039;s very enthusiastic, very motivated crowds during the general in 2012, and also the history of crowds for Mondale et al.

McGovern&#039;s voters/crowds were incredibly enthusiastic, as were Eugene McCarthy&#039;s---incredibly so.  It didn&#039;t matter.

And citing polls to backup the discussion of enthusiasm is to stop talking about enthusiasm.  Polls are polls, and they definitely indicate something. What they indicate with Trump is that he has approximately 1/3 of the Republican electorate behind him.  That&#039;s not only not enough to win the nomination (especially if and when other candidates drop out), although it could be built on and he could end up being nominated---it is most definitely not enough to win an election, where the polls are not at all good for him.  What&#039;s more, if you think about it, 1/3 of Republicans is a LOT of people. That could fill quite a stadium, and the people might be very enthusiastic.  But it means nothing in terms of winning the election.  And I say that not just for Trump, but for anyone running and drawing big enthusiastic crowds.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hm, I think I have to respectfully disagree with your &#039;enthusiasm&#039; blog post. 

As for your comparison of Ron Paul to Trump, Ron Paul had a very, very small percentage of voters interested in him. Trump has 38% in some of the most recent polling.

Comparing presidential election enthusiasm to primary election enthusiasm is not really the same thing. You can dismiss my statement if Trump is the nominee and we see how each candidate fares.

I think Obama&#039;s enthusiasm factor won him the election in 2008. People were pumped to vote for the first black president. 

I also think Reagan had an enthusiasm factor that Carter did not.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Trump&#039;s snark would led many to think she was having rude sex in the bathroom -- or troubles with her diaper.

Either way, the imprecation lingers.

It&#039;s an &#039;undeniable&#039; insult -- in the sense that it&#039;s impossible to touch the matter without getting more stink into the air.

&quot;When did you stop beating your wife?&quot;]]></description>
