I have found myself daydreaming about a Trump/Christie debate. The entertainment factor alone would make it must see TV. :)
Its only a matter of time, Cruz and Trump have to come to a head soon.. as long as the establishment is fractured, they both can keep the status quo, but they both know, that with their combined totals likely being no more maximum than 55-60% of the vote in the best case, that if one of them doesn’t get knocked out and the establishment settles on a candidate, neither one of them are likely to win.
And as much as it excites most of us here, eventually the establishment is going to settle around a candidate.. Out of Iowa, it looked like Rubio was the most likely candidate, after NH, and Rubio’s self inflicted gunshot wound to the head, it looks honestly like Bush is the most likely candidate for this. I doubt Kasich can leverage NH into a sustained effort, not taking away his hard work at retail politics that helped him win NH, just don’t think he’s going to be much of a factor going forward.
And once an establishment candidate emerges, Trump nor Cruz will be able to win consistently as long as the other is still viable. The showdown is coming... and it’ll be a doozy.
