Bret Baier, Megyn Kelly and Chris Wallace are all in surgery this morning for repair of the massive inguinal hernias they got from carrying all that water for Jeb Bush and the Amnesty Cartel. They are expected to make full recovery, but their reputations as objective journalists didn't make it out of the Emergency Department.
The mini-Torquemadas' goal was obvious and simple:
Take down Trump for the Establishment and Pro-Amnesty Cartel and while you're at it, see what you can do about Paul and Cruz.
Mr. Baier launched the first gotcha by asking the candidates to raise their hands if they would not agree to support the Chosen One. (Jeb Bush to those who haven't been paying attention as to how the Republican Establishment manipulates the Republican base. For a refresher course, refer to what happened to Newt Gingrich in 2012.)
The question was lose-lose for Trump. If the billionaire businessman didn't raise his hand, they'd accuse him of pandering and politicking, which would then lose him his base of voters who are fed up with politicians who campaign one way and then go to Washington and become part of the Washington Establishment. If he raised his hand, he'd be accused of disloyalty.
Gotcha!
Trump, being Trump, raised his hand.
Some clues for the clueless:
*Hillary Clinton began to stumble badly on her road to the presidency in the spring of 2015.
*Jeb Bush announced for the Republican nomination on June 15, 2015.
* On June 16, 2015, Donald Trump announced his candidacy for the GOP nomination.
*Ya think maybe these events might be connected?
*That maybe Mr. Bush is in the race because the members of the ruling political elite were afraid Hillary might lose, and a loose canon like Ted Cruz or Rand Paul might actually become president and upset the status quo?
*That maybe Mr. Trump is in the race because he doesn't want yet another Bush-Clinton Game of Thrones presidency?
*That maybe if Mr. Trump had been asked if the nominee were anyone but Jeb Bush, he just might have raised his hand? Just askin'.
There followed tough but fair questions asked of Dr. Ben Carson and Senator Marco Rubio and then Baier pitched a softball to former Governor Bush so the Governor could explain he was his own man followed by a listing of all the wonderful conservative things he'd done for Florida when he was governor. No mention of Common Core and/or his support for blanket amnesty for 11-30 million illegals living in the country.
After Baier's love-song to Governor Bush, Ms. Kelly bared her fangs. Fixing the Donald with a steely-eyed glare, the blonde bombshell with the prerequisite hank of stringy hair hanging over one shoulder accused Trump of having said mean things about women. Awwwww. Trump, an equal opportunity insult-er who says even worse things about men, tried to deflect the gotcha with a joke, but the War on Women Warrior wasn't having any of it, and kept pushing until she proved that women are small, petty, easily-damaged creatures who can dish it out but can't take it which one supposes is supposed to make a woman a candidate for the toughest job in the solar system.
Chris Wallace, not to be out-done by his shrewish co-inquisitor, insulted Ted Cruz by calling him divisive and tried to stir up a fight between Cruz and Paul. Cruz didn't bite and Paul refused to fight.
