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?

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.

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.
