Governor Nixon’s career is now toast. The electoral backlash against episodes like this always helps Conservatives. The Left will have to be satisfied with
the smoking ruins of Ferguson, and Oakland.
I speculated that perhaps Ted Cruz may have won 2016 last night.
This was the Left’s “Hail Mary”, they know their time is running out with Obama in the WH. And the resulting backlash could move this country firmly to the right, where a guy like Cruz becomes much more viable.
