Stuart Stevens, the top adviser to Mitt Romney’s failed 2012 presidential bid, said all the rules of politics would have to be wrong for Republican frontrunner Donald Trump to become president, in an interview with New York magazine published Wednesday.
Reporter Gabriel Sherman talked with Stevens about Obama’s legacy, the 47-percent video, the current campaign of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and the possibility of a Trump White House.
Stevens first replied with laughter.
“He’s not. He’s not!” Stevens told New York. “This goes down to, how am going to play in the next Super Bowl? It’s not going to happen. For Donald Trump to win, everything we know about politics has to be wrong. And I don’t think it is. The timing of when it falls apart is always more difficult to know than inevitably that it will.

Dude, everything we thought we knew is wrong! Plus, aren’t you from the same group who insisted–just insisted–Romney was going to win?? With your track record, I’m thinking Trump has a better chance than even I had pegged him for … which is scary.
Yeah, not a very reassuring assurance as such things go.

Sometimes things don’t go quite the way you expect them to.
Popcorn is not enough for this gladiator contest between people who are only worthy enough to be scraped from the bottom of one’s shoe.
Dude, everything you know about politics has ALWAYS been wrong. You thought Romney was going to president, fa chrissake!
