On the State of the GOP Race

So who’s really winning the race?

Of Jeb’s lead there is nary a trace.

In Carson and Trump

They have men they should dump

It’s Marco and Cruz all should chase.

 

A few observations:

  1.  Trump’s lead is ultimately going to crumble in the face of all out assaults in the media from the GOP establishment.  That is going to take some time, however.
  2.  Cruz is well-positioned to pick up Trump’s supporters when they start looking for someone who is impeccably orthodox, but outside the establishment.
  3. Rubio’s plan has always been to build as many bridges as possible to the various factions and to hope Jeb! implodes.  Right now, you would have to say it is working.  If he wins the Sheldon Adelson primary, he will be a serious threat to win the Romney coalition subprimary.
