They’ve declared him dead 10 times already. Somebody new might be in second place tomorrow. That’s it.
From what I hear, first place takes it.
I am saddened that it won’t be Cruz. By far and away the brightest.
Is it me or does Walker have no spark? guy’s done a lot but just doesn’t excite me.
Carson’s done, I think.
There’s a lot of time left and the race has hardly begun. But I think the candidates are in an important test. The one who can get past Trump while winning the hearts of the base will be the next President.
Bush might take down Trump with a bunch of gotcha games, but he’ll have a tougher time winning a base that sees him as just another shark in the tank.
I have hope that Cruz will be showing up as VP, then president.
Cruz did fine and helped himself a lot.. Trump stood there and took all the crap they threw at him from every direction and he still stood tall.. I think he’s going to get a bump in the polls for that
Carson was just the “not Trump” placeholder. However, he is not going to attack Trump because he isn’t a skilled fighter. The GOPes needed someone to take that spot and use it for a base of attack. So behold the magic rise of Carly.
Notice how the two candidates they pushed to be the Not-Trump are the black candidate (who would not fight) and now the female candidate? Not a coincidence either. It was to provide a bait to Trump to attack and then play the race or gender card. Trump hasn’t taken the bait when it came to Carson. They will try again with Carly.
What the GOPes are hoping is that Carson’s support will fall to Carly cleanly so she can have a stable base. That won’t happen, but it’s their gamble. So look for them to also start to push some of the bottom feeders to drop out and urge their supporters to back her.
It’s still all about giving Bush some cover to sneak by, but the whole plan is a failure from the start as it assumes Trump’s support is malleable, and that he can be knocked out. More of a hail Mary than a winnable strategy.
