Politics again

People keep turning on Cruz and it's awesome, Bob Dole came out recently giving him a hard time. Cruz may be literally the most unlikable person in politics now, it is starting to appear that the Republican establishment has resigned itself to Trump and losing the White House, and is simply planning on shifting its focus to  down-ticket races while it frantically attempts to find someone electable in the next 4-8 years.

Think I am talking out my ass? Well maybe, but according to the FEC, literally zero dollars have been spent on anti-Trump attack ads this month, now remember, most ads are bought by SuperPACs, these organizations are funded by people who consider themselves the real movers and shakers of the GOP, and all of them it seems have decided to hit people like Rubio instead of the anti-establishment candidates, I don't think this is because Trump and Cruz have converted them, I think it is because they are finally recognizing the complete inability of any candidate to win the general and are just trying to get it over with, I realize that when I say that I am talking about literally hundreds of millions of dollars being spent to "get it over with" but it seems to me that is what we are seeing anyway.

But why attack Rubio? Possibly because he, along with John Kasich, may be the most electable Republicans in the discussion at the moment, Rubio because he is young and attractive and not white and does an okay job of seeming like a person, and Kasich because he may actually be the closest thing to a moderate in the race, which says more about the race than him, as he did recently refer to himself as the Prince of Light and Hope, and he may be almost as interested in turning America into a theocracy as Mike Huckabee.

But in this climate no one knows who he is, he doesn't have a chance at the nomination, Trump is doing a fine job of kicking Cruz's ass by himself, but Rubio may have a shot if he starts campaigning well, or if enough voters defect to him as the other candidates start dropping, so the establishment is attempting to ensure he doesn't, making him able to run again later without the stigma of being the guy who lost to Clinton, or god help them Sanders.

I am open to the possibility that I might be wrong about Kasich, he's been showing signs of life in a couple polls, mostly his home state, but there might be something building for him, I doubt it, but at least he sort of has hope.

Speaking of no hope, Ron Paul has come out saying Trump will probably win the nomination, which I find hilarious, Ron and Rand must have the most fucked up relationship and deserve each other.

That's my half baked political theories for the evening, have a good one.
