This GOP race is turning into a game of King On The Mountain with all players trying to take out

Trump and win the leadership that way. I played King on the mountain as a kid. I beat all the boys on that snowbound hill in 1977. But to be fair to the boys, we were all 11 and I was a full head taller than them being a girl at that age. I can't think of anyone "louder" than Trump at this juncture. Chris Christie is who I would expect to be the one but he seems very quiet these days. They all seem to be playing defence and trying to mitigate Trumps retaliation. The clue to winning when I was 11 was to run up that snow covered hill by grabbing onto one boy and pulling him down...leveraging your momentum off the boy now below while you reach the next boy and pull that boy down...leveraging off the new boy again, and the next. There were boys flying everywhere. All of a sudden you are at the top. Just an FYI to the GOP. Trump is the only one who is playing the "game" right.
