You just can’t make this stuff up. From Slate’s William Saletan:
“We’ve heard this kind of alarmism before,” a senior Republican senator told Slate, responding to warnings that a Trump nomination would doom the Republican Party. “Remember global warming? Gases, temperatures, the sky is falling? It’s all speculation. I’ll believe this Trump wave when I see it.”

In interviews, several GOP leaders and operatives doubted Mr. Trump’s prospects. Some ridiculed a widely shared hockey-stick graph of delegate totals that projects him ascending toward a point of no return. Others questioned the measurements that have supposedly recorded his rise. “There’s a long history of skewed polls,” said a veteran strategist. “Liberals control the polling industry, academia, the media. These are the same people who told us Romney was going to lose.”

Flummoxed, I am.
