I don’t know what you think about this, but it is a good bet that more than half the field will be gone by South Carolina. Florida will winnow it down further, to the leading three, who can still financially sustain a continuing campaign.
These are just my views from last time around, back when the Establishment owned outcomes. This time they own nuttin’ much. It’s a paradigm shift from then to now, as to whom it is that’s running this election cycle.
The only way I can imagine this not turning into a disaster for at least some of them was if they all surreptitiously got together beforehand and set up some ground rules to prevent the chaos and embarrassment NBC is undoubtedly hoping for. I certainly hope I'm proven wrong but we've all been burned over the last few decades by seemingly intelligent, experienced men and women walking blindly past gigantic warning signs into a minefield they should have known better to avoid.
This is a Republican National Committee debate, with media exposure by Fox News Channel. Facebook is also a sponsor.
Anyone in the early states has seen or can see hours of these candidates in all kinds of interviews and forums.
The ‘debates’ are just a kind of reality show. Little or no information will be forthcoming.
The NBC debate will be at the end of February.
Look at it this way, Trump and Walker 40%, Yeb 10%. That has to make any conservative happy. This is better than most of us would have hoped for six months ago. Hopefully Cruz will make a move soon.
Thank you!
Thanks for clearing that up for me; now at least it makes a little more sense.
While I am having fun watching the scrum, unless you live in Iowa, New Hampshire, or South Carolina getting emotionally attached to any of the candidates is kind of futile. Those three primaries will winnow the field down to maybe the top three or four. While I like Cruz, I am not investing much energy in this until March. I sent Cruz a little money, that’s it.
