“This is a joke, right??”
“If not, it should be....”
Trump is not joking, nor is he insane as others have remarked. He is simply running a very effective, low budget campaign. His aim is to keep his name in the news, keep the news cycles focused on him - draining the air out of the room from other candidates. He says something people take as outrageous, news cycle starts - people talk - some things have worked and some things backfire so he walks it back. His election night response made news by being respectful. Needed to make news the next day, and by then the story about Carson/Cruz had gained legs so he capitalized.
Don’t worry, the entertainment will continue. Tomorrow something else will be said that will incite interest.
I'm of the opinion I don't really care who wins between Trump or Cruz. Either one "works for me" to drive a much needed stake through the heart of the GOP-E and finally kill it.
As long as the GOP-E dies, that's the most important thing that can and should happen this election. Everything else to right the ship of state follows from that.
I'm just tired of the circular firing squad between Trump and Cruz supporters. Y'all are forgetting who the enemy really is.
