Ooo. Do you have any deets on who has requested it versus not?

Carson has both said he has and hasn't, so who knows. Hillary obviously has had it for decades now. I believe Jeb! does as well. I doubt anyone else does. It's a major inconvenience, so you have to have a Newt-level ego to think that it's worth giving up your personal freedom.

Do you imagine this meeting like The Wire's Co Op meetings in a hotel conference room, the gangsters from The Dark Knight in the back of the warehouse or the war room in Dr Stangelove?

Either way Trump is at the head of the table.

Word out of Foxnews and Politico is that a 'Storm' of oppo is coming out against Rubio.

I guess Jeb, various superpacs, and the Dems are going to smash him with attacks. The Jeb campaign is bragging about all the dirt they have on Rubio.

So Jeb! is already a dead man walking; if this "storm" results in Rubio cratering I'm going to laugh my loving rear end off and never stop.

Then I'm going to fully embrace the madness of Republican Nominee Trump.

The Romney campaign asked each of the Veep candidates to turn over all their financial information. Christie refused. Rubio did not refuse.


Which means that there's a group of ex-Romney staffers with access to a report on all of Rubio's financial history.....

If Trump still hasn't worn the white hat with luxurious gold trim letters by Thanksgiving, I'll go ahead and just buy the red Trump hat when I'm doing my online Black Friday shopping.

I really like the white one with gold letters, but he hasn't worn it and only a fool would buy a hat Trump hasn't actually worn.

Someone should twitter at him and tell him to wear the white and gold one because only gold is fitting for his greatness.

Define trouble. He's annihilated Heb!! He has guaranteed an outsider gets the nom, even if it's Carson. He's pushed the GOP narrative to ethnic cleansing FULL loving DEPORTATIONS, and he may have claimed to carry a gun onstage during a national debate. I'd say he's done at least well enough to win that bet with Bill, wouldn't you?

The race dynamics have shifted from "Trump dominates" to "Trump tied with Carson, Cruz and Rubio rising." Trump isn't sinking, yet. A few guys are just emerging as the field consolidates.

Carson is (obviously) the most vulnerable of this "Final Four," but if he holds on by December 1st we'll be seeing the four of them treated as the contender pack going into the final stretch.

EDIT: I doubt that Jeb! has much serious on Rubio other than the same tired "LOL Rubio is really bad with money, look at how he blew a million dollars."

So, if Trump and Carson actually are on the same page in their demands, it's hard for me to see how Sunday doesn't come off as a colossal coup for Trump (and Carson).

There are basically four campaigns that really matter right now, and Ted Cruz is a follower at heart and knows that as the leading champion of the fight against the Mainstream Media he has to attach his name to whatever Trump is peddling.

Marco Rubio cannot be the only person going to the RNC debate out of the top four. If given a choice between debating losers and squares like Jeb! or going to Donald Trump Presents the Yoogest, Classiest, Most Luxurious Republican Primary Debate Of All Time, Brought To You With Limited Commercial Interruption By Donald Trump, Rubio will have to go to the latter.

So when Sunday rolls around and Trump presents his "do this or we're walking" demands to the RNC and the networks, they'll have to cave. There is no debate without Trump and Carson, because no Trump and Carson means no Cruz, and no Cruz means no Rubio.
