This year’s holiday season has probably, for too many Americans, been marred by the Dickensian caricature known as Donald Trump. In addition to the fact that he remains the frontrunner for the Republican nomination, he did his best to disturb the peace on Christmas. Taking to Twitter, he angrily denounced those who doubt whether he is qualified to lead the free world, or even capable of beating Hillary Clinton in the general election. As evidence, he noted that the most recent CNN/ORC poll showed him leading the Republican field, with nearly twice as much support as the next candidate, Ted Cruz.

 

The CNN/ORC poll also showed him losing the general election to Hillary Clinton, meaning that the long-suffering Trump was, in this case, being treated very unfairly by the poll that he had cherry-picked specifically to serve his interests. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s another best-seller in his future: The Art of the Grievance. But it increasingly seems inevitable that Cruz will outfox him in Iowa, and I doubt Trump has the emotional resilience to carry on if he emerges from the caucus as an official, proven loser.
