Debate prompted laughs and tears
Well, with Super Tuesday hanging in the balance, the GOP primary gloves have finally come off.
For Democrats, the Thursday night debate was a whiplash ride between head-shaking disbelief and stomach-shaking laughter. For Republicans, it must have been agony.
Better to have given paintball guns to Donald Trump, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz so they could shoot and paint their ways out of the corners they put themselves into. John Kasich tried to be Marshall Dillon. Someone should have sent a search party for Ben Carson.
“Would someone please attack me?” Carson begged as the three front-runners spat at each other and hogged the stage. Carson was ignored. But then what would you expect from someone whose answer to a question about choosing a Supreme Court judge was: “The fruit salad of their life is what I will look at.”
