They should take all phones and screens away from these guys, lock them in a room, then just tell them they're the stars of a highly rated reality show. Then keep them in that room, forever, until they die. And then keep broadcasting it, so we can slowly watch them decompose.
― Josh in Chicago
ironically being locked in a room and decomposing is kind what it's like to work for the government!

Well, if you conclude the day to day function of the government is indiscriminately killing and bombing, they'd probably all be OK at that.

The dynamic seems pretty obvious. Anyone close stays clear of Trump for the time being; the people who confront him are Bush and Paul. Cruz and Rubio are after each other. Carson's barely in the picture.

Naturally the hacks this morning obsess over Jeb!'s "comeback" and ignore Rand Paul inflicting well-timed stings on Christie, Rubio, and Cruz for their belligerence.

Sting (wrestler or musician) entering the race at this point would indeed be well-timed.

Sting's expertise in tantric practices may help Republican candidates in their decisionmaking about whether to stay in or pull out (of the race).

"On ISIS, let's be clear: The president needs to be a force that's trusted in the world," Christie said. "This president's not trusted ... but I'll tell you this: When I stand across from King Hussein of Jordan, and I say to him, 'You have a friend again, sir, who will stand with you to fight this fight.' he'll change his mind."
King Hussein of Jordan died in 1999.
....The current leader of Jordan is King Abdullah II. Christie and his family were guests of King Abdullah in 2012, when they stayed as weekend guests at Kempinski Hotel there and ran up a tab of $30,000, paid for in part by King Abdullah, according to a report by The New York Times.
