In the first Republican debate, the klieg light that Donald Trump always carries around with him revealed four or five presidential candidates who, under the right circumstances, could beat Hillary Clinton.
The single most important event of the campaign so far was Trump raising his hand and refusing to commit to the eventual GOP nominee.
Trump's actual performance in the debate demonstrated the real reason he will flame out.
The Trump syllogism: Every politician is bought by billionaires.
In a parliamentary system, Trump might found his own party and win a few seats in the legislature.
As a third-party candidate, Trump could easily tip a close election to Clinton.
So Trump's inevitable self-marginalization must be given a push.
