multiple tax increases, amnesty for undocumented immigrants, and illegal secret deals with Iran. And after what felt like 17 hours of grueling, exhausting, sweat-drenched debating, a consensus emerged from the pundits/theater critics who determine such things: Carly Fiorina “won,” and heretofore untouchable frontrunner Donald Trump finally, maybe, perhaps started his decline.There are a number of theories as to why last night represented the beginnings of the Trump Slump. Fiorina finally succeeded in bringing the bully low with an effective retort to his insults about her looks. The looooooooooong format seemed to drain him of the vitality he so often boasts of, and it’s more and more difficult to ignore the fact that he’s completely out of his depth when it comes to national security and foreign policy. Of course, people have been predicting Trump’s for months now (myself included), so select whatever size grain of salt you feel is necessary.
Is Trump too honest for the GOP? He’s actually challenging Republican fantasies — but it could spell trouble
