Not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but the trio of outside-the-establishment GOP presidential candidates Donald Trump, Ben Carson and Ted Cruz
now command 52% of the Republican primary vote versus
23% in June, an increase of 29%.
Conversely -- during the same period -- the hand-picked
stooges candidates of the feckless, bumbling, and cowardly* GOP establishment (
The Last Refuge dubs them the "
GOPe's splitters", an entire chorus line of faux candidates designed to fragment support for a grassroots candidate -- and to deliver the nomination to
Jeb!), have dropped from an aggregate support level of
63% to
40% (a startling drop of
23%).
The world's worst political consultant (you may know him as Karl Rove, who we last saw setting fire to a few hundred million dollars in 2012 with nothing to show for it) has
a new strategy to resurrect Jeb!. Barring a tear in the space-time continuum, Rove will be just as successful with this scheme as he was in 2012.

I'll stick with what works for me.
