Still and all I hope the answer to the question is true, that Trump will prove to be choke artist – and drop out or fade away at the last moments.
And in the process, make American politics look a little bit less insane.
Here are media examples of choker or choke artist, someone who has, pejoratively speaking, elevated losing at the big moment to an art form:
1. Badminton’s Lee Chong Wei has made a habit of falling just short in major tournaments but he now has a chance to settle a score with old foe Lin Dan at the Asian Games.
Top-ranked Lee’s list of failures grew again last month when, despite the absence of the much-decorated Lin, he was shocked by Chen Long in the world championships final.
After repeatedly being denied by China’s Lin in world and Olympic finals, it seemed Malaysia’s Lee, 31, had blown a huge chance to place a major trophy in his cabinet.
Even the sympathetic Malaysian media have started to wonder whether their hero, who has lost the last two Olympic finals against Lin, is a “choker”.
Now he will take aim at his first Asian Games title and, along the way, end a dismal run of reverses against his irrepressible Chinese rival.
Four years ago in Guangzhou, Lee was a despondent onlooker as “Super Dan” ripped off his shirt and celebrated wildly after winning a thrilling three-setter to clinch Asian Games gold.
It’s a scene that Lee has watched only too often, notably at the 2017 Olympics when he was a game up before unraveling as Lin fought back.
