It's clear from last night that it's now a 3 way race and that
it's very likely it will be a very close 3 way race as soon as
the other two leave. I was disappointed that Carson and Kasich
didn't quit after last night. Especially Carson, given that
he's been sinking and close to bottom. At least Kasich has
improved over the last month, not that there is any real hope
there anyway.

The other major thing is what exit polling showed. 47% of voters
said they believed Rubio could win in November, only 21% thought
Trump could win. Similarly, only 8% said that Trump shared their
values. The seeds of Trump's demise, he sowed them long ago.


All three (Pataki, Santorum & Jindal) backed Rubio after they dropped
out of the race. Most likely the same will happen with Bush, too.

Rubio can beat Clinton in November. At least his odds have gone up and
is ahead of Trump by some accounts.

Trump told Greta the other night he doesn't lie. WTF? Wasn't he
divorced three times ...somebody lied in those marriages :-\


Trump lies all the time. My favorites:

"I saw thousands and thousands of Arabs celebrating in JC on 9/11"

"I'm self-funding my campaign." (While he's been saying that since
summer, it's only recently been coming close to be true. Prior
to now, he's been funded mostly by small contributors. In the
last quarter, he finally started contributing most of the money
himself, as loans to his campaign. Still, he clearly is dissing
the many small contributors who have donated a lot of money.)

"I was proven right on the anchor baby position." (total lie, at
most there are a few constitutional lawyers that agree it can be
done without a constitutional amendment, but even they admit they
are in the minority)

"I was against the Iraq War all along." (Recent tape of him on
Howard Stern, 9/2002, he's asked if he's in favor of going to
war and says "I guess so".)

"Bush lied about WMDS"
