Cruz’s last gasp

2016 51 Comments

Cruz has two two goals.
Stop Trump from getting 1237 before the convention and ensure the delegates for the subsequent votes.
Probably shouldn’t discount Kasich either. It’s not like conventions haven’t a history of third place coming up the middle. (Waves at Alberta)
It will be a fun day of television.

Like the weather.

Wait five minutes, it’ll change.

“Now that he is backtracking substantially on that, and even a 10 year elimination,” Bell said, “I gather that his advisers have brought him a bit more up to speed on the deficit/debt situation.”

At least this position is grounded in reality. (an odd thing for this candidate, so we’ll see if this time it lasts)

$19T? Phaw.

Trump will eliminate US debt in eight years.
It would take half of the budget every year ($2T), would require massive lay-offs in government, massive changes to entitlements and a complete shutdown of pretty much everything else.
That’s okay though, cause he’s going to “renegotiate trade deals and renegotiate military deals”…in his first 100 days….

with women, what’s a little battery?

I remember the day after Fields accused Lewandowski of grabbing her arm the refrain from Trump fans on Twitter was “Prove it! File a police report or you’re lying.” So she filed a police report. Then the refrain was “It was the other guy standing behind Trump, not Lewandowski!” Then new video came out showing, no, it was Lewandowski. Then the refrain was “He barely touched her. No one could seriously believe this is battery.” So now he’s been charged with battery.

That whole “Never Apologize” thing went stupid, real fast. A quick five minute statement by Lewandowski apologizing and explaining that he was just trying to keep up with Trump would have made the whole thing go away.
Going stupid fast seems to be in the air this season.

Angst:

This week’s horrific terrorist attacks on the Brussels airport and metro raised the pressure in the already tight U.S. presidential campaign. Candidates of both parties were instantly measured against voter expectations of how a president could and should behave in a similar crisis. Meanwhile, it was jarring to see a beaming President Obama relaxing at a Cuban baseball game, while grisly photos of the wrecked terminal and dazed, bloodied victims in Belgium were on steady media feed all over the world.

By now it is clear that Marco Rubio’s abrupt turn toward mockery and confrontation of Donald Trump was a catastrophic error that turned his campaign, which not long ago led prediction markets, into a laughingstock. Rubio has even conceded his mistake (“if I had to do it again I wouldn’t”). Sadly for Rubio, now that his negativity has darkened his once-sunny persona, and rendered him useless as a vehicle for anti-Trump Republicans, the very people who egged him on are now kicking him to the curb.
