Post title comes from one of my favorite Rolling Stones albums, BTW. The UK version is best because it has my all-time Rolling Stones favorite tune on it.

Been checking out a lot of blogs (both liberal and conservative) following the second GOP debate and I now have things pretty clear in the looking glass the following points:

1. I’m with Conservative Treehouse on this: Wall Street (the biggest Democrat supporters) really thought that the Donald Trump candidacy would have imploded by now, but his performance during the second debate indicates he’s not going anywhere anytime soon. He’s become the Joe Biden of the Republican Party, nothing sticks to him…

2. …as a result, look for VP Joe Biden to enter the race by Halloween. The big Dem donors know Hillary!’s candidacy is not just treading water, but they know he knows that there’s bad stuff about to be released as far as her e-mail server scandal is concerned, and there might be even more to it than that.

3. Which is why Hillary! is about to embark on an apology tour the likes of which you’ve never seen before. But it’s all futile: female voters have tuned her out, and Democratic Party insiders are increasingly aware that they’ve got a big, orange-pantsuited albatross around their collective necks.

4. Both Jeb! Bush’s and John Kasich’s respective candidacies are doomed. Wouldn’t surprise me to see the GOP establishment money start being directed to Marco Rubio, and a not-so-subtle push by the RNC to begin an aggressive push to winnow down the field to six candidates: Trump, Fiorina, Carson, Rubio, Christie / Bush / Walker, and Cruz as a way to better focus their guns on Donald Trump by the next debate.

5. Don’t believe me? The GOP establishment has to know that the only way they’re going to take down Trump is to put him on stage in a setting where he won’t be able to hide behind a large field. They believe that’s the only way they’ll be able to smoke him out as some kind of wizard revealed behind the blue curtain.

6. But of course, Trump knows this, so look for him over the next month to start releasing policy papers with positions and people (Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama, for one) who will be advising him on issues going forward. Just in time before the holidays get everyone’s attention.

7. All of which will lead up to a Trump / Biden matchup for the 2016 Presidential nomination. How that plays out will be anyone’s guess. But it ought to be entertaining, to say the least.

Just a guess on my part, we’ll see how it all plays out.
