THE PLACE: SUPER TUESDAY FL OH, MO, ILL: THE EVENT: A SUDDEN & BLINDING FLASH OF LIGHTS, A BOOM, AND DARKNESS DESCENDING...AND THEN JUST TWO FIGURES EMERGE FROM THE SMOKY TUMULT… No, it’s not Batman & Robin but Trump & Cruz. In the background, amidst sobs and screams of “Noooooo!!!” A stretcher passes with an unconscious figure, a soiled copy of the Communist Manifesto on his stomach, still grasped in his grimy fingers. Gen Sanders is DOA at the local homeless shelter…
That’s right, as is the genius of American politics, a great paring away occured last night. In these quintessential evenings in American politics, the poseurs, would-bes and also rans are hustled off the stage, usually with a sad speech, and a few teary goodbyes. And such was the demise last night of Lil Marco Rubio, sacrificed at the hands of his own state!\
Meanwhile, a titanic struggle, not just for the presidency, and not simply for the head of a major party, but as definer of the very phrases Republican & Conservative is being desperately fought. Already finished is the fate of the old GOP, whose various candidates were cruelly picked off like wall soldiers during an extended siege. The old GOP is finished, and they know it. How else can the 10,000 mistaken prophecies portending the death of Trump be explained?
And so now, a fascinating battle will be staged, by two figures who wanted the GOP dead, over the corpse their victim. For the right to redefine the party, run against Hillary, and to lead the nation into the promising period that future historians may well call The Post PC Period.
And who will will the epic struggle to redefine the world from sea to shining sea across these American shores? Stay tuned, sportfans...
