I think tonight’s GOP debate on FOX Business has the highest stakes for Donald Trump and Marco Rubio. Why? I think Trump has a lot of support out there but folks are nervous about his campaign being all flash and a one-trick pony. Can he make the next step and speak about economic issues in a way that’s both authoritative and substantive? If he can his numbers will go through the roof. For Marco Rubio, another good debate performance could push him past Ben Carson and into the position he’s seeking as the anti-Trump in the race. I’m not convinced about Ben Carson – I still think there are landmines out there as far as his personal story is concerned, and his plan to eliminate Medicare would get the GOP slaughtered next November. Jeb Bush is dead man walking. Ditto John Kasich. And the others? They’ve have had their chance to ignite GOP interest and have failed.

So do yourselves a favor – The Great White Shank won’t let you down, I promise. Keep an eye on Trump and Rubio. It will be interesting to see what happens.
