But if he succeeded in going back and waxing Baby Hitler, we wouldn’t know it, we might not even notice that all the rats are gone from the subway because the velociraptors ate them all. ---

Babies traditionally have very little body hair, so it shouldn’t require too much waxing. What? ---

Watching the introductions, Carson looks like he just dropped his prom date off 4 hours late, only to find her father in the driveway with a shotgun. And I keep watching the [Comedy Central Roast of Donald Trump](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlLZYInmG2g). ---

When my father came to this country, he shoveled horse manure off the street with his bare hands. What? That’s nothing. My father cleaned the ejaculate off of the seats at a porn theater. Oh yeah, pal? Well my father had to fellate truckers in the bathroom for 10 cents an hour! —Will this crap ever stop in campaigns? ---

13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Banghazi trailer just showed. Did anyone know about the Benghazi movie? Based on the trailer it looks like the debunked “Stand down” order myth lives to see another day. Downright Orwellian. ---

Three months ago the Republicans were crowing that they had the most qualified slate of candidates ever. Now they’re down to Trump, Carson, Rubio, and maybe Fiorina. Trump has turned the whole primary process on its head. Between him and Carson they are sucking all the oxygen out of the room and preventing more serious candidates from gaining any traction while they burn through their campaign war chests. Bush is not going to be the nominee. The ‘base’ hates him passionately, and now his endorsements and money men are shifting to Rubio, who I think has to be the odds-on favorite for the nomination now. ---

Fiorina hitting the zero-based budgeting theme hard tonight. Does she realize how few people have any idea what that means? ---

> [@Donald\_Rump](#): > > My bet is that Kasich will go hardest after Ben Carson. Total prediction fail right there. But Kasich has been pretty feisty and aggressive in this debate. He’s fighting to get outsize share of the floor and I think he’s helped himself with this debate. Evidently no one’s willing to touch Carson on the fabulation issue. Not sure what Trump’s strategy to bring down Carson is at this point. I do think Cruz has had a reasonably good night and may draw some support from Carson, which ought to benefit Trump at least in the short term. ---

Rubio says welders make more than philosophers. Cruz dismisses the Fed as a bunch of philosopher kings (twice). As a former philo major I’m insulted. OTOH I make much more than a welder, so I get the last laugh.
