Journal Captain Splendid's Journal: And the loser is 12

Cruz.

Son, if you can't keep Marco Rubio, of all people, more than 5 points away in Iowa, of all places, you do not have what it takes. Go home.

Alright folks, now that the writing is on the wall, let's place our bets on Trump's demise. I'm thinking he's in until at least Super Tuesday. Maybe the better question is, how much more damage is he going to do before that?

  • He's shown he is willing to say whatever stupid things the GOP wants him to say, and he looks good on camera. He looks young, and he knows where Cuba is. They could hardly ask for more, he gets the rose this round.
    • Well, as long as he doesn't fuck up. Couple of spares waiting in the wings in case he does.
      • Well, Trump is going to take the next one ... so who the heck knows? Doesn't matter, because the next president won't be a republican. They're all too crazy for mainstream voters.
      • In the end it won't matter. It looks like we will continue down the middle with a 50/50 congress that will keep whoever wins the presidency in a box. The drama is in the stock market. 2000 - tech bubble, 2008 - real estate bubble, 2016 - petro dollar bubble? (and bailout?) Who benefits from a collapse? I think the republicans this time, not by much, just enough to keep the kabuki running.

  • Six out of six.

    Is it possible?

    Sure.

    Is it likely?

    Nope.

    • Heads I win. Tails you lose. But keep it close. Bernie is pulling in a bit more than chump change. It all goes to Hillary and/or the party when he's out.

      And since Trump really has nothing else to do and plenty of money to do it. I don't know if he cares how he places, he can stay in it just because he's not bored yet. I don't think he's causing any "damage", just drawing out the cockroaches. He actually seems kinda fitting, more of a caricature or slight embellishment of the scene than anything else.

  • The final GOoP debate was an ambush. The Donald blows it off, and they put Cruz in Frozen Chosin [wikipedia.org]. Ted gets his Chesty Puller on, beats both The Donald and Marco, and all people want to talk about is the GOoP candidate, Rubio. This is why our politics is bollocks.

The hardest part of climbing the ladder of success is getting through the crowd at the bottom.
