Bwwwaahahahah! "The coming GOP demolition-derby circular firing squad"

The Coming GOP demolition-derby circular firing squad:

1. With the announcement two weeks ago that four super-PACS — headed by the mysterious Robert Mercer from Long Island, N.Y. — had donated a stunning $31 million to Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-Texas) presidential campaign, a new era of GOP primary battles was launched.

2. In the past, the GOP establishment wing always handsomely funded their candidate.

3. It was always the conservatives who were underfunded.
4. And thus the primary outcome was preordained: After the initial dustup-up in Iowa and perhaps South Carolina, the establishment money wore the conservative(s) down and ultimately prevailed in a war of attrition.

5. That is not going to happen in the 2016 election cycle.

6. No, we are about to witness something we have never before seen: A full-on, well-funded-on-both-sides, nuclear war inside the GOP pitting the establishment (mostly former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush) versus the Tea Party (Cruz, Ben Carson and others) versus the neo-cons (Florida Sen. Marco Rubio) versus the libertarians (Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul) versus the hybrid (Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who has both establishment and Tea Party support).

Republicans are not engaged in a political process, they are engaging in an entertainment production process for the American masses in general and a handful of Iowan and NH rural evangelical voters in particular.....and the media moguls in charge of the arenas will say " are you not entertained"?, in response to any criticism of the circus acts and it's selected entertainers.

ISIS propaganda strategy and media manipulation and GOP propaganda strategy and media manipulation have far more in common than not.

I for one am going to enjoy watching the carnage. And take notes on which attacks seem to be working the best against each candidate!
