Well folks, it's about time, huh? What's bothering you? Seen your girl's lead dissipating? Tired of hearing about your man's Russia worship? Your team 0-3 lookin' at 0-4?
Well, I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. Yesterday Ted Cruz climbed aboard the Trump-Train, as was inevitable if he were to have any political future at all. You see he is NOT a Bush. The Cruz clan has not been hanging around (some would say fuqing things up) for 40 years. After Trump disastrous August he has come back strong with a better than even chance of winning. For Cruz it was simple calculus, he could't risk a Trump victory whilst being on the outs. Yes yes, I know, he's a 'principled' conservative. God knows we have our share of those. They'd ride the God damn Titanic down to hold on to their principles. But some of us are more pragmatic and see a Hillary win as the final nail in the coffin. Think this is hyperbole, just a scare tactic? Then my friend you are a fool, and if Hillary wins an inconsequential fool forevermore. So, what's the scorecard? The anti-Trumpsters are the Bushies, John Boehner, John Kasich, Lindsey Graham, a few scattered Senators, Congressmen, Governors (Larry friggin' Hogan HA!) and a smattering of has-been ex cabinet members most with hispanic sir names. Oh yeah, and some national security "experts" nobody has ever heard of. That's fine. CW loves pictures and I'm reminded of that other great movie from the early 70s, The Sting. "It's over Hooker. We're gonna get Gondorff whether you help us or not."
