It seems like this came out of the blue. Yes, he had a cold, but he was totally out of character on Thursday night. To me, it seemed like he had been drugged. Maybe the cold medicine affected him. But this coordinated, unrelenting attack on him to step down is astounding. And the people who are attacking him are trying to make it look like it's not just the 90 minute debate, but other things too (but they never say what they are). I think there is more to this than we know. It's really depressing because I believe that most of the voters still want him to stay in the race. It's the pundits, political operatives, and media that are going after him relentlessly.

While there is all kinds of fuckery, we can't be like the GQP cult. It was an awful performance. We can't deny it.

I admit to having similar thoughts, feelings and questions. Something's way 'off', but what is it?
