Christie and The Donald
New Jersey tough guy Governor Chris Christie was once smitten with President Obama. But now that’s all water under the bridge. He left the president’s warm embrace for Donald Trump.
Christie and The Donald appeared on stage together last night at Trump’s victory press conference. The governor introduced his new boss as “Mr. Trump“.
Cruz Anger Management
The anger vote is yuuuge and Ted Cruz wanted to own it. He’s smart. He knew that voters hate Washington so he decided to make everyone in Washington hate him. It worked.
Cruz sowed the seeds of rage when he gave a 21 hour speech on the Senate floor September 2013. He demanded that Obamacare be defunded. Obama refused to defund Obamacare and the government shut down. The Republican “establishment” got blamed.
Cruz planned to ride the anger vote to the nomination. It was a brilliant plan until, as Henninger says, “Trump stole the whole thing.”
Senator Cruz, the self-designed outsider, is getting killed by the outsider form hell.
High Stakes Supreme Court Seats
The next president could fill three Supreme Court seats. Daniel Henninger in the WSJ says Scalia’s death has raised the stakes of the election. He expects it to “concentrate the mind”. “The great sobering up has begun,” he says.
Donald the Truther
The Donald is now The Truther. He blames Bush for 9/11.
I like Trump because he’s politically incorrect. That doesn’t mean he’s getting a valuable Bokbluster endorsement, but as a cartoonist you gotta admire anybody with the guts to take on the pc movement. Well, maybe not all cartoonists feel that way.
Anyway, birthers believe Obama is a foreign born Muslim and ineligible to be president. His father was a foreign born Muslim (according to some, that makes Barack an apostate eligible for beheading) but he has a Hawaiian birth certificate and an American mother. Cruz was born in Canada of an American mother and Cuban father.
Donald the Truther
Truthers believe 9/11 was an inside job. Trump claims it was Bush’s fault because because he didn’t act on intelligence to prevent the attack. The 9/11 commission says that’s not so. Further, the Clinton administration had established a wall between the FBI and CIA that prevented information sharing that might have helped prevent the attack.
Hillary Howls
Donald Trump’s antics are bringing howls.
The campaign has become personal. Trump is attacking Jeb’s family and calling Cruz an unfit liar. Hillary has moved beyond the personal. When a candidate lies she barks like a dog.
That’s a lot of lonely barking.
