will it be bare knuckle nor holds barred? or will it just be two knuckleheads trying to figure out if they shoulda brought knives?
will faux-xtian Carson forgive Ted and apologize for making such a fuss?
I noticed today that if news pics or segments cut off the banner behind Cruz during his events, it reads “RUSTED” instead of “TRUSTED.” The nearly 5 minutes the message was plastered across the TV screen made for a much smoother workout at my gym this morning.
Cruz is rusting right before our eyes.

Carson is looking for an exit strategy. He basically only stayed in it to twist the shiv in Cruz’s side. Now he wants to make nice with all the front runners while he quietly exits stage right. But he doesn’t want Cruz making hay over him suspending his campaign. Its very petty on one level, but Carson is trying to keep an eye on the grift after the campaign.
He also said he would like to be Trump’s VP. So making nice with everyone on the way out the door.

In other words, Carson just realized that his VP chances with Cruz were zero, so hedging his bets …
More likely Dr. Carson wants to probe his rival, make some points, eSTABlish some boundaries, maybe sharpen their mutual interest in the eSTABlishment clause, then when they’re all done, at least one will emerge from the meeting like the most popular TV star in history … OPRAH:
‘YOU get a brain, and YOU get a kidney, and YOU get a lung, and YOU-’

Creepy twosome – they’ll likely strike some deal over evangelical support then Carson drops out.

Will Carson be able to stay awake for the meeting? That’s what i want to know.
Let’s see:
On one side we have Cruz, a Harvard trained attorney, master of debate tactics, sophistic arguments, and prince of the dark arts.
On the other side, we have a pediatric neurosurgeon who, when he allegedly tries to kill someone, can only manage to dent their belt buckle.
Yes, this will go well.
“Everybody has a brain,” said Dr. Scarecrow, after extensive research on every skull except his own.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Carson offers to drop out and throw his support to Cruz to grift some of that sweet Cruz cash right now. Carson has brain enough to know his campaign is flatlining, and Cruz has the calculation to know that plenty of other people’s money can buy up Carson’s supporters.
I wonder if Carson’s campaign is in debt, or headed that way fast? If so, my bet would be that he stays in just long enough to collect whatever donations his NH results might bring him, then drops out, and (maybe) throws his support to Cruz (potentially very helpful to Cruz in SC) in exchange for help retiring his campaign debt.
Sometime these kinds of withdrawing-from-the-race endorsements include allowing the endorsed candidate to access to the withdrawing candidate’s fundraising database going forward, and in turn appealing to the endorsed candidate’s donors to help retire the withdrawing candidate’s campaign debt. Meanwhile the endorsed candidate promises to take on some of the core staff and vendors from the withdrawing candidate’s campaign, so the close cronies of the withdrawing candidate can stay on the gravy train. Withdrawing candidate becomes surrogate for the endorsed candidate and continues to jet around and stay in nice hotels, all expenses paid.
All speculation, of course, but well within the realm of possibility in this case – Carson and Cruz are both competing heavily for the evangelical vote, and if Carson concludes that he’s losing that battle hopelessly, and the sweet, sweet grift is threatening to turn into and ugly, ugly debt, he may try to jump ship while he still has some chits to trade.
