Trump, Carson and a GOP Presidential Race Turning Ever More Bizarre
By David A. Graham

Many political observers are still confident that neither Trump nor Carson has any shot at the nomination. Among the more standard candidates, Jeb Bush delivered a passable performance at the Milwaukee debate, but hasn’t arrested his slide; John Kasich’s bellicose approach was widely panned. So that leaves Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz battling for support. The smart money seems to be on Rubio—helped by the personal antipathy many in the GOP feel toward the Texas senator.

The result has been a steadily intensifying offensive by Cruz against Rubio. It started in earnest during the debate, where Cruz took a hardline against immigration reform and demanded deportation of unauthorized immigrants. He also took a shot at sugar subsidies. While he didn’t name Rubio in either case, the Floridian was clearly his intended target—he was a central element of the failed push for immigration reform, and is close to sugar executives who want the subsidies to stay in place.

On Thursday, Cruz continued to ratchet up the pressure, telling Laura Ingraham that on the issue of immigration, “talk is cheap.” “You know where someone is based on their action,” he said. “When politicians say the exact opposite of what they've done in office and I'd treat that with a pretty healthy degree of skepticism.”

The Washington Post reports that the continued success of Carson and Trump—to say nothing of Cruz’s resilience—has started to freak out Republican Party mandarins.

1. This election is against the establishment.

People know they are tired of being shit on by billionaires and so they are going anti-establishment. After all, we can only be 'sheeple' for so long before we wise up.

Maybe we're wising up.

But, make no mistake, if Carson or Rump get the GOP nod, we are all gonna have to work our fingers to the bone to prevent their election and make sure the Dem gets in instead. Because Trump is crazy-brave and Carson just plain bat-shit crazy.

So, a word of wisdom for all of you: If you work your fingers to the bone, what do you have?







Bony fingers!
