j reacts to the idea of 2000 being predictive for 2016 (maybe...)

i pointed this out earlier in the cycle, too. but, trump isn't falling in line like bush did...and because of that there's the johnson factor....

it's still in the realm of possible outcomes. if you see johnson evaporate, after all? it could look a whole lot like 2000. right now, i just think he's stretching a little.
