IT has become a pastime of sorts for the media types in Washington: Trying to figure out the number of times a leading journalist or pundit has been proven wrong in predicting the trajectory of Donald Trump's presidential bid. To put it in simpler terms - who has been more wrong than anyone else in Washington in predicting a "peak Trump" or the Donald's crest as a presidential candidate, like in "This time Trump blew it up" or "It's really over for Trump now" or "after saying this or doing that, Trump is finished".
New York magazine has recently given the award for the worst Trump predictor to Bill Kristol, a renowned conservative pundit and editor of The Weekly Standard who according to the tally has predicted a "peak Trump" 11 times since July last year, most recently three days before Mr Trump finished second in the Iowa caucuses and 11 days before his major victory in the Republican presidential primary in New Hampshire.
