GOP STRATEGY FAILS

TRUMP, CRUZ, CARSON, LOVE FEST

The debate last night was very interesting in the fact that Trump and Cruz did not take the bait to destroy each other.  Not only did they not take the bait, but they went out of their way to demonstrate that it will not happen.

Trump also made it very clear that there is no chance he will run as a third party candidate. All the maneuvering before the debate by the establishment went down in flames in a big way.

I can see Trump, Cruz and Carson campaigning together against Hillary Clinton.

As for Cruz taking the nomination away from Trump, all that will be necessary is for Trump to let it be known that Cruz will be his first pick for the Supreme Court. Conservatives know the youthful Cruz would be the most dynamic justice on the court. If they had the choice of Cruz being president for 8 years or 40 years on the supreme court, only a fool would choose the former.

As for a brokered convention, there is little doubt that the combination of Cruz, Trump and Carson will have more than 51% of the delegates.

Trump is about to ramp up his media campaign and it will most likely be a departure from the standard fare.

The Carson, Trump, Cruz coalition, which I believe was proposed by Ted Cruz, is a unique and brilliant move by these candidates.

The Republican consultant class may well be facing a low income in 2016.
