IMO Trump has been dismissed by these guys for eight months.

There was always some reason he was going to drop out.

Him not doing that, they are now left pretending he doesn’t exist.

In their imaginary world, it’s Cruz vs Rubio. In that scenario, I think Rubio prevails. They certainly do.

This is a plug for Rubio.

FAIL.

Trump will continue to dominate him.

The Donald is like the experienced regatta sailing captain who cuts and trims his sails to take greatest possible advantage of the wind while tacking, then unfurls the sails to the fullest once the wind gets at his back.

So for a moment, the sails had a little luff, not necessarily a strategic error, but it may have restored a little control.

It all comes down to knowing how to read the sails right, and responding appropriately.

And it confounds certain of the spectators to no end when The Donald keeps on hauling further and further into the lead.

But what do I know.

It wasn't apparent to lots of us, early on that Trump was just plain nuts!

More and more as Trump goes 'round the bend daily that the man is nuts!

Imagine giving this advice to a Republican presidential candidate: What if you stopped calling yourself a conservative and instead just promised to make America great again?

What if you dropped all this leftover 19th-century piety about the free market and promised to fight the elites who were selling out American jobs?

What if you just stopped talking about reforming Medicare and Social Security and instead said that the elites were failing to deliver better healthcare at a reasonable price?

What if, instead of vainly talking about restoring the place of religion in society something that appeals only to a narrow slice of Middle America. You simply promised to restore the Middle American core, the economic and cultural losers of globalization to their rightful place in America?

What if you said you would re store them as the chief clients of the American state under your watch, being mindful of their interests when regulating the economy or negotiating trade deals?

Trump is a leader and that is what we need—not a idealigog who will be so solid they will go down with their flags flying. trump could do it.
