Trump 'Hands' Cruz Two Victories

Happy Sunday Friends,

Everyone's saying Ted Cruz now has the momentum in the GOP race for president, after he won another two caucus states yesterday.

Kansas, chock full of evangelicals, was not a Yuge surprise. But right-leaning northern secular Maine was.

And Maine was a signal to the GOP and to Donald Trump, that the voters there were finally getting weary of the campaign being about penis size and flop sweats. They sent a shot across the bow by choosing the one viable candidate who's sidestepped the food fight and stayed on message.

The Donald, one of the world's quickest studies, is already stumping about how the party should be 'coming together' but he's got a big problem--his hands.

My index fingers are not unusually short. Tiny thumb? Ask Melania how tiny my thumb is.

Marco Rubio, who's candidacy is clearly on its last gasp, managed the most damaging shot fired at Trump so far in the campaign, and it's exposing Trump's underlying pathology.

He is a consummate narcissist, and he's got the equivalent of a Napoleon complex about his slightly smaller than average hands. Wow. His vulnerability is his vanity, and Rubio hit the bullseye.

The result has been negative for Rubio in reaction to his getting down into the mud with The Donald.
But by staying out of the fight, Cruz has reaped the benefits of Rubio's direct hit.

At this point, the best result for the GOP establishment, since Trump is already so far ahead in delegates, is no clear winner going into this summer's Cleveland convention. Then, the GOP nominee could be anyone from Ted Cruz to Mitt Romney.

Trump, even with his obvious mental illness, has yet to be beaten in a primary rather than a caucus state. And we're about to run out of caucus states.

If Cruz has any strength in actual primaries, it will be demonstrated on the next Super Tuesday, March 15, when the first winner-take-all primaries begin. In those, where Trump has substantial leads, only the winner gets delegates, and the big prize is Florida with 99.

Will Trump's hands be his downfall? It's clear that his vulnerability has been exposed. If Trump can't zip it back up soon, we'll find out how much size actually matters.
