"Every ideology has a use-by date and you're long past yours"

David P. Goldman defends Ted Cruz's attacks on neocons, but he also shows us how Obama's foreign policy debacles stem from following in Bush's failed footsteps...
No-one wants to hear your claim that we really won in Iraq in 2008 and lost it all because Obama wouldn't leave a few divisions there. And when the "Arab Spring" came along, you mistook the oncoming express for the light at the end of the tunnel. You and the Obama crowd played "Dumb and Dumber." You both bought into the idea that Muslim democracy would arise from Islamist opposition to the old dictatorships.
I like Trump's assessment:
"Hillary calls me 'dangerous'? She's killed hundreds of thousands of people with her stupidity."
She burned down Libya and opened the North African gates for the Million Muslim Man March into Europe.

But back here in the Barackulous State of Amreeka...

Just when I thought Trump might be making a serious attempt at being a serious candidate who seriously wants to win, he invites in the half-term governor of one of America's least-inhabited states...



I am jaded--I know it--especially when it comes to politics, so help me out here...

How does this help Trump's campaign?  Is he trying to steal the kook fringe vote from Cruz?

Will this turn off the supposed 20% of Democrats and the formerly-disinterested independents who are crossing over to Trump?

What does this mean for the GOP?

Will the Trump campaign stage collapse under the weight of two gigantic camera-hogging egos?

We are living through strange times.  Forget normal.  Forget the new normal.  We are in uncharted territory, but the people in charge are holding outdated maps and clinging to failed doxies...
