The man predicted to finish third in the Iowa caucuses actually finishes third.
The mild-mannered Dr. Carson goes off on Ted Cruz.
Donald Trump wants an Iowa recount.
Pink Floyd will be reunited through executive order #124567 issued by President John Kasich in January of 2017.
And that’s just some of the big news of the week heading into tonight’s New Hampshire GOP debate being held at Saint Anselm College in Manchester.
The news this week was entangled with what seems to be a political game of six degrees of separation. See if you can keep up.
Senator Marco Rubio, it would seem if one listened to many of the political pundits, is the frontrunner and likely to take flak from just about everyone on stage, was called a “boy in the bubble” this week by Chris Christie, who is teaming up with Jeb Bush to attack the first term Florida senator, who is not likely to be attacked by Dr. Ben Carson, who might go after Iowa caucus winner and “dirty trick” player Ted Cruz, who may or may not have stole the election according to disappointed Iowa runner-up Donald Trump, the former The Apprentice host, who has been replaced by Arnold Schwarzenegger, who endorsed Ohio Governor John Kasich, who In Iowa, finished behind Carly Fiorina, who was denied an opportunity by ABC News to participate in tonight’s debate and subsequently accused Marco Rubio of lobbying against her inclusion tonight.
Whew.
All that drama and we still have 49 more states to go before we know who the nominee of the Republican Party will be.
Now on to asking each candidate a question before tonight’s debate. Let’s go.
Ted Cruz – What do you say to the people of New Hampshire and beyond who have heard your fellow candidates and the media accusing you this week of stealing the Iowa caucuses using “dirty tricks”?
Donald Trump – You have said this week that skipping the last debate in Des Moines before the Iowa caucuses may have contributed to your second place finish. Do you have a better ground game and campaign strategy in place for New Hampshire and beyond to start winning some of these upcoming contests?
Marco Rubio – Surely you will be attacked by nearly every candidate on stage tonight (Gang of Eight affiliation, lack of accomplishments, your robotic candidate personality, etc.) Are you prepared for the onslaught?
Dr. Ben Carson – You suggested that Senator Cruz and his campaign’s lack of corrective action concerning their “dirty tricks” is similar to Hillary Clinton saying “what difference does it make now?” concerning Benghazi. Do you still stand by that comment?
Jeb Bush – Who, if anyone, will you endorse after you finish 4th in Tuesday night’s primary and drop out?
Chris Christie – You have been quite critical of Sen. Rubio during this election cycle and even called him a “boy in the bubble” earlier this week. Is this a direct result of him being the clear favorite to win the establishment lane?
John Kasich – Pink Floyd….Arnold Schwarzenegger & Montell Williams…you as an awful Vice President…oh a question….ummmmm…hmmmm…forget it.
Tonight should be interesting. There are many intriguing storylines.
Sen. Rubio did exceed expectations in Monday night’s Iowa caucuses finishing third and on the heels of second place finisher Donald Trump. But since when did meeting or exceeding expectations overshadow the winner?
Well, as we have been saying since after the 2012 presidential election, the establishment was looking for their next candidate to carry its mantle and help deliver their long-desired quest to get amnesty and they found him in Marco Rubio.
Which is really sad. He had so much promise and so much potential to become a great conservative leader who would fight for the ideals and principles espoused by our Founding Fathers and Ronald Reagan.
But Washington D.C. is too often a place where principled men and women go to die, figuratively.
Just ask Speaker Paul Ryan.
Is Marco Rubio the next victim?
Should the Florida senator win the nomination but fail to unite the GOP, as he vows to do so on the campaign trail, and consequently loses the general election in the fall, he has no one but himself to blame for his short-sidedness on his cozy friendship with the establishment.
