What I think is going on.

Cruz, Trump, and Carson are all "outsiders", and should have been 1-2-3 in Iowa.

Carson is the weaker of the three.

The GOPe wants to get rid of all three of these guys.

They have plenty the Dems will unload on Trump, from his past, which they will use to take the wind out of Conservative sails when November comes around. If Trump becomes the candidate, that is. I predict, he won't.

Here is the game plan. Eliminate Carson. Those voters went to Rubio as the next best 'not Cruz nor Trump' candidate to Carson, at least any who thought Carson was quitting. If they wanted Cruz or Trump, they would have been in those camps already.

Trump has no qualms about attacking Cruz. If dirty tricks can be pinned on Cruz, then Cruz is weakened. There has been so much emnity between Cruz and Trump camps (just look around here) that there will be no one to the other crossover if the other drops out. Voters will either drop out or hold their noses and vote for who is next, which the GOPe has chosen to be Rubio.

If Cruz and Trump don't mutually destroy each other, the GOPe will first destroy Cruz, then use Trump's past support of New York pols, including Clinton, Cuomo, Schumer, Weiner, and Bloomberg to call into question any conservative cred Trump has, and play the New York Values thing against him in the south and the heartland.

They'll simultaneously throw the whole machine behind Rubio who is from Jebbie territory and get Jeb on the VP ticket.

By the convention, Rubio will be the 'boy wonder' and he'll take on the Dem. Status quo in DC is just fine by the GOPe who has been profiting from it handsomely, or they would have scuttled Obama by doing all the things Cruz has tried to do, so either way, dem or pubie, the establishment wins.
