The Trump Apocalypse Watch is a subjective daily estimate, using a scale of one to four horsemen, of how likely it is that Donald Trump will be elected president, thus triggering an apocalypse in which we all die.
Well, over the weekend the Ted Cruz campaign once again waxed the Trump campaign at state delegate-selection meetings, which means that another big bunch of national convention delegates were picked who will be inclined to vote for Cruz if the selection of the Republican nominee requires multiple rounds of voting. (Many delegates are “pledged” to the candidate selected by their state/district’s voters for only one ballot.) Meanwhile, campaign manager Corey Lewandowski went on Fox News to talk about his battery charge getting dropped and ended up making a bunch of factual errors about an unrelated subject (Florida delegate selection), which provoked other Republican operatives to badmouth him anonymously to Politico. (The horror!) Finally, a group called the “National Diversity Coalition for Trump” held a meeting in New York, about which let me make the following comment: LOLOLOLOLOLOL.
Things are still not going great for Trump 2016.
