He will succeed at getting what he wants: a gig as a high-profile political pundit. He'll make more money and have an easier job if he gets a primetime talk show on Fox and writes the occasional book. He's annoying but not stupid; he must know that he has no chance of becoming president.

And that Carson is in second place!

OMG. Bobby Jindal has gone nuclear on Donald Trump.

It's about time one of them did. I suppose it's OK for him because his campaign has gone nowhere.

I thought Carly was very restrained in her response to The Donald's attack on her - it made him look pretty shabby by comparison. That's what I like about her, she has class and she wields a rapier. She may be his most dangerous opponent. We'll see if she's in the next debate.

Joe Biden was a treat to watch on Colbert's Late Show last night.

Jerseygirl

He was indeed.

FlaviusAetius

Yes. Caught a clip of him on Colbert on FBN. If the sincerity is genuine, he's definitely someone all of us could feel comfortable with.

He did a nice job of laying the groundwork for being VP on the next Democratic ticket.

So any comments on Colbert's new show? I was pleasantly surprised by the first three shows. There isn't that overt piss-take on the Republicans/Fox Noise, which I really miss, but he still has the rapier wit and pulls off many of the same digs against the candidates.

He does interrupt his guests too much, something that was appropriate to his 'Colbert Report' persona, less appropriate now. The female guest on Wednesday night's show actually chastised him ... told him to 'stop it!'.

But overall, I found the shows enjoyable.

This one should be fun - Trump on the show: http://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...colbert-371029

It seems that Perry is already out. Shame he didn't even get a chance to embarrass himself in a debate this time.

My guess is that Scott Walker will be the next to fall.

Scott who?

He'll just walk out, announcing that he "may be gone some time"

We should take a poll: who's next: George Pataki? Jim Gilmore? (is he still in?), Rand Paul? Lindsey Graham? Bobbie the Kid Jindal?

I think Chris Christie will stick around for a while but not be a quarter finalist. It's between him and Trey Gowdy for AG if a R wins.

My guess for the Final Four: Trump, Carson, Bush and either Fiorina or Cruz for the last seat.
