>50% that trump's asinine attacks on carson are the beginning of the end for the trump campaign. all his previous attacks on others worked partly because they came from a position of strength and were moderately reasonable. this however does not come from strength and looks more unhinged than usual.

granted i dont think we're gonna see how badly trump is going to perform until the IA caucuses. cherry red marker is written on the wall, saying he's going to underperform the polls and perceptions. when that happens it's basically game over. the only way he could survive that is if his numbers were still big enough that his typically bigger polls in NH could give him reason to think he would win that.
