Trump is a liberal cynic in the same mold as Bloomberg. Once elected, his con will be exposed as he reverses none of the PC leftist moves.

“What Trump Saw and Cruz Did Not” by Rich Danker

“So what happened? I believe Trump ran a better campaign than Cruz for two reasons:

1) Republican voters not only wanted an outsider candidate for president, they wanted that candidate to campaign like an outsider

2) The conventional strategies and tactics on running in the presidential primary had become so stale that an outsider with disdain for professional politics found a new way to win using common sense”

Danker is talking about the emotional climate active in this year among the aggregate of republican voters and the impact that has had upon voter perceptions. Thus Trump’s prior history, contradictions and appalling past behavior is dismissed, when weighed against the overriding consideration; Trump’s apparent determination to actually do something substantive on the issues most important to the public. Among Trump’s supporters, his contemptuous dismissal of political correctness is seen as proof positive that he is committed to addressing these issues.

Throw in the usual Cruz undecided bump (which might no longer be valid at this late date?) and I feel good about our chances. Nate Silver also gives Cruz a 65% chance.

Note also that these stats don’t include either a Fiorina bump or a Pence endorsement bump.

That was actually in a biography on Tyson, not in an autobiography. In a 1989 interview piece, here’s what Tyson had to say about it:

The advertisements for Torres’s book quote Tyson as saying that he once hit Robin—his best punch—and bounced her off the four walls. Since this sounds ludicrous on the face of it, I don’t ask Tyson if it’s true, but I do ask him if he said it, because Torres told me he had Tyson confessing this on tape. He doesn’t answer my question.

After a pause he says, in disgust, “Punch her? Aw, come on. Sure we had our arguments, and they were a bit volatile—not uncommon for young marrieds. She could punch pretty good herself and kick you where it hurt the most. What really happened was that in the heat of it I pushed her, and she stumbled into the closet. But I don’t go around hitting women, despite that image they’re trying to hang on me.”
