who knows, might be someone at the kiddie table? Buster figured out staying on top of him to take away his power, I'm sure Trump has a button to push. I was reading in a psych article about throwing a narcissist off by aways talking to them in the third person, drives them crazy. Who knows, no one did about Buster and that's what makes it so great.

associated with that circus. They'd be better off waiting 4 years.

I do agree that Rubio can't win the election, but I think he'll get the nomination in the end.

I think that Cruz made a mistake trying to let Trump hang himself with his own nastiness, but Cruz will hit him with policy from now on and Trump will look like nothing but a trash talking fool. Notice the difference in the response to the Flint water crisis. Trump declined to weigh in and Cruz crafted a condemnation of govt. handling to appeal to the public. I always felt Trump would be exposed as soon as he has to speak to specific issues and the time is now upon us.

But the rest of the voters (the majority) probably do and the press will have a field day making him look like a fool - I count on it. The momentum will shift, no doubt about it.

Frankly, I think Cruz would be the bigger disaster. Trump could be persuaded with facts if you make him think it was his idea. Maybe.

Birchers believe their bullshit.
