Probably just trying to drive up ratings.

Huckabee at 3:1 is the odds on favorite here. Rand Paul right behind him at 7:1.

I think I’ve got it. The campaign in question is going to let its candidate speak. In public. It promises to be hilariously catastrophic.

Curious was to which camp Wilson can be viewed as working from?

Katherine Krueger, TPM:

Republican strategist Rick Wilson in a cryptic tweet referenced a “campaign-ending stupid” pre-planned stunt to come during Wednesday night’s top-tier GOP presidential debate.

Almost every Republican candidate in the GOP primary has done or said something “campaign-ending stupid” at this point, and yet, there they still are.

Given the current make-up of the GOP base, I’m betting that the only thing guaranteed to be a campaign-ending stunt is for one the candidates to say something sane and intelligent.

So, one of them is going to say up really is up, and down really is down? That day is day and night is night? One of them is going to be reasonable or something, and that will end their chances?

Campaign-ending stunt implies that there’s a low bar for the GOP voter.

Lacking evidence.

Points to Kasich, if that’s the case. He’s trying to distinguish himself by acknowledging reality. It ended Huntsman’s campaign but maybe Kasich wants to live dangerously.

Christie, being the cock he is, will insist on a swimsuit competition, and will immediately strip down to his Speedo.

It’ll be then he realizes that even after losing 150 pounds he’s the fattest one on stage, apart from Fuckerbee.

Definitely calls for another Glenlivet. Or two. Or three.

If 'stupid" ended campaigns, there would be no Republican candidates and, eventually, no Republican nominee.

I’m just going to drink steadily whether Christie takes his clothes off or not. It’s my way of being proactive rather than reactive.

they are all coming out wearing Nixon masks and the interviewer has to guess which one is the real crook?

Maybe Kasich will say something like, “You are all fucking bonkers. That’s it. I’m outta here. I’m registering as a Democrat from now on.”

He might as well. Trying to be the actual best candidate in a real-world sense will avail him nothing, the silly rabbit.
