MUTH’S TRUTHS

Listening to Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz crowing about how great Super Tuesday supposedly was for them brought to mind this line from The Gladiator starring Russell Crowe: “People should know when they’re conquered.”

Rubio finally won a state.  Minnesota.  The only state to vote against Ronald Reagan in 1984.  Big whoop.

Rubio’s reality-free post-election bluster speech Tuesday night should make him a lock for the “2016 Baghdad Bob of the Year Award.”


Cruz won three states.  One, his home state of Texas.   Better than Rubio, but not exactly a juggernaut.  Still, enough to keep him in the game.

Donald Trump, on the other hand, won seven more states ranging from the deep south to the liberal northeast.

The writing is on the wall.  The Trump Train has left the station.  The GOP establishment better run fast now to get onboard. 

People say Trump is a bully.  OK, fine.  But isn’t that what we need when dealing with folks such as ISIS, Vladimir Putin and North Korea?  Especially after seeing what eight years of having a pansy in the Oval Office has gotten us.

And isn’t that exactly what it’s going to take to beat Hillary Clinton like a drum in November?

On the other hand, Trump’s post-election press conference showed the nation a different kind of Donald Trump.  One that appeared far more calm and - dare I say it? – presidential.

He fights and fights hard when fighting is called for.  But is conciliatory and cooperative when trying to get something done.  And that’s bad…how?

This election, as Mr. Spock would say, is “fascinating.”

Cheers.

STOP TRUMP!

POLITICO: Super PAC talks to rich donors about stopping Trump:

Hoping to stop Donald Trump's momentum, a super PAC devoted to defeating him held a conference call with some of the Republican Party's top donors this evening. The call was sponsored by Our Principles PAC, an anti-Trump super PAC.

:Among those on the line, according to one participant, included Hewlett Packard President and CEO Meg Whitman, Chicago Cubs co-owner Todd Ricketts, and New York hedge fund manager Paul Singer.

“The Ricketts family has played a prominent role in funding the group, which is being overseen by Katie Packer, a former top aide to Mitt Romney. But the group has also won the backing of other major contributors alarmed by Trump's rise, including broadcasting executive Stan Hubbard.

“Organizers, hoping to fill the super PAC's coffers, briefed donors on the group's progress. They stressed its extensive work against Trump in Iowa, the one state he has failed to win. Our Principles PAC has yet to detail its next steps, but sources close to the group say it's considering spending heavily in four delegate-rich states voting in March: Missouri, Illinois, Florida, and Michigan. http://politi.co/1L5IXrg
