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.

common sense, you might call it
It’s no surprise that talking heads rarely recall what happened to Ron Paul supporters in Tampa. They weren’t really watching. I was though, and below is my dispatch from the day the then-Texas congressman’s delegates were evicted from the convention, which some traveled hundreds of miles to attend, on obscure legal technicalities, and replaced by shills for Mitt Romney. It was ugly, an utter insult to a group of hopeful (and mostly young) Republicans who thought that they could change their party through the proper channels.
I don’t like Trump any more or less than I like or loathe Ron Paul, or Rand Paul for that matter. None of that really matters though — at least not any more than it matters if voters at the state level from here to Minnesota back Trump or some other booming fringe chump. The Donald absolutely will not clear the RNC in Cleveland, and while the hideously-coiffed candidate and journalists alike will surely act like the insidious scam of convention politics is some new phenomenon when it repeats itself in 2016, they only have to look back a few years for a precedent …
