I'm impressed at how poorly Trump prepared this debate. You'd think he'd start getting ready for some of the questions that were asked, especially on the off-the-record interview and on hiring illegal immigrants.

Fox Producers Attempt To Tire Out Aggressive Candidates Before Debate By Letting Them Run Around Outside

DETROIT—Hoping the activity would help the presidential contenders burn off some excess energy, Fox News producers reportedly attempted to tire out the group of aggressive GOP candidates before Thursday’s debate by letting them run around outside. “You could tell they had a lot of pent-up energy, because after we opened the back door to the theatre, Cruz just bolted out, followed by Trump, Kasich, and Rubio,” said producer Douglas Bowman, adding that the wound-up candidates quickly burned off steam by racing around, jumping up and down, and wrestling on the ground with each other in the lot behind Detroit’s Fox Theatre. “At first, Cruz wouldn’t stop spinning around and screaming policy proposals at the top of his lungs, but he got worn out pretty quickly and went to join Rubio, who was whipping clumps of dirt at a garbage can. I tried to keep an eye on them, but Kasich still got a bloody nose when Trump tried to put him in a headlock.” At press time, a tuckered-out Trump was reportedly dozing off right in the middle of an insult.

That's the idea. Do just enough damage that he doesn't get a majority of delegates and they can give the nomination to someone else.

GOP Statisticians Develop New Branch Of Math To Formulate Scenarios In Which Trump Doesn’t Win Nomination

WASHINGTON—In an effort to counter the real estate magnate’s rapidly growing lead in the delegate count, GOP statisticians announced Wednesday they had successfully developed an entirely new branch of mathematics for formulating scenarios in which Donald Trump does not win the Republican Party’s presidential nomination. “By expanding on pioneering work in the fields of applied statistics, higher-order logic, and number theory, we’ve arrived at a new branch of mathematics that provides for a multitude of feasible outcomes in which Donald Trump is not the 2016 GOP nominee,” said Dr. Jeffrey Larson, who has led a team of more than 30 statisticians who have been working around the clock at RNC headquarters to establish new mathematical properties since the wealthy businessman won the New Hampshire primary by a 20-point margin. “The new field required several breakthroughs on the manipulation of Boole’s inequality principle, and some of our models are still only predictive within certain artificial stochastic conditions. However, this new discipline of Nonlinear Computational Probability finally establishes a practicable methodology by which there exist possible paths to the nomination for Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz.” At press time, Larson announced the team had devised a new method of abstraction and mathematical induction in which lower numbers have a greater numerical value than their higher counterparts.

I like him. He's not really a president, but he's likable.

I swear if the nomination does not end with a WWE battle in the center of an arena, the Republicans have missed out. Its the only way to end this.
