Seth Meyers anualyzes the Iowa caucus, and comes up with the best – and most humorous, explanation yet for Donald Trump’s graceful loss to Ted Cruz. It’s not like Donald Trump to lose gracefully, for that matter, it’s not like Trump to win gracefully. Only Seth knows what’s going on with The Donald. I won’t be a complete and total spoiler, but I will hint that Seth’s clever and highly amusing theory refers to the five stages of grieving, although Trump is unique in that he is experiencing them all in reverse order. That is why he lost so gracefully, but is now calling for Ted Cruz’s head on a spike.
Seth observes that while Cruz technically won, Marco Rubio is acting as if he is the big winner. Rubio has ‘MARCOMENTUM’ – quipped one media mind, who won’t be quoted again. Rubio may owe it all to Christie, who calls him ‘the Boy in the Bubble’ at every opportunity. Seth is onto something here. Who among you did not feel great empathy for the bubble boy?
Ted Cruz is a hot mess, even though he’s number one. According to Trump and Carson, Cruz lied greatly exaggerating Carson’s demise. Trump and Carson would drag everyone back to Iowa for a do-over. I saw the photo of Heidi Cruz pressed against a wall to escape Caucus-goers. The woman showered twice a day to rid herself of perceived commoner-germs, according to sources. She can not go back!
