The Zombie Frontrunner

Mike Murphy, who runs the Right to Rise super PAC supporting Jeb Bush, told Bloomberg that Donald Trump is a “zombie frontrunner.”

Said Murphy: “He’s dead politically, he’ll never be president of the United States, ever. By definition I don’t think you can be a frontrunner if you’re totally un-electable.”

He added: “So there’s no meaningful outcome to it. But the question is what kind of catalyst is it? It’s a huge amount of noise and so we’re trying to find the signal in all this. You’ve seen Trump start to drop now. I think it’ll be a very slow drop, but I think he’ll continue to drop and the question is: is he ready to lose primaries, will he stay in? And nobody knows the answer to that.”
