Famous last words. Rand Paul got tough on him before and his numbers fell to one percent. Maybe he's going for zero.
"Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is preparing an attempt to take down Donald Trump at Wednesday night's Republican presidential debate.
"I think he deserves both barrels,” Paul told The Daily Caller on Tuesday. "I want to make sure everyone in the whole country knows he’s a fake conservative."
"Paul, who went after Trump in the first debate, told The Daily Caller that he wants voters to better understand Trump's policy positions."
"I think ultimately when voters fully grasp who he is and what he supports, I think they’ll run away with their hair on fire," he said.

And go running to you, Senator Rand? So Rand's theory is that the Trump supporters will suddenly realize Trump wants to raise taxes on the rich and run away screaming. And they will run to him raising his 1% to 21%. This shows us the limits of positive thinking.
Rand's problem is he confuses the base and the establishment.
Meanwhile Jeb is promising to 'Show Trump low energy.' Let me guess Jeb: you're going to show that he's a liberal, that he doesn't support your glittering tax plan where you do everything your brother did and multiply it by 2-twice the tax cuts for the rich and twice the structural deficit?

I'm happy to see Krugman agrees with me. I've often said that outside of immigration and maybe his wild protectionism and China bashing on trade, Trump is actually better than the real GOPers on most policies.

I'm in good company:
"This is really telling: Donald Trump is finally facing an all-out challenge from conservatives — and it’s coming from the Club for Growth."
"And who is the Club for Growth? It’s the enforcer organization for voodoo economics, for the claim, utterly refuted by all available evidence, that tax cuts for the rich generate miraculous growth. (High priests in voudou are houngans, hence my headline)."
"As I’ve been saying all along, while it’s true that Trump is a blowhard talking nonsense about policy, that’s true of every contender for the GOP nomination. He’s just talking different nonsense. And Trumponomics is, if anything, more sensible than the deep voodoo that has been embraced by Jeb Bush."
"Trump isn’t a problem for Republicans; he’s a symptom of the problems Republicans have."

TK. By the way Trump's immigration isn't worse than the standard GOP position it's about the same.

Meanwhile Carly Fiorina is also talking tough about how she's going to tell Trump a thing or two. Whatever. With her position on Planned Parenthood she's in no position to wrap herself up on the feminist flag.
I get so tired of the media's faux feminist outrage on her behalf-or Megyn Kelly for that matter.
Fiorina has actually been caught on tape engaging in catty insults of other female's looks.
On the issues, Trump actually is actually closer to sanity on women's issues than the rest of the field.

The fact is that Trump hasn't really attacked women as a group. He is on record for some pretty nasty attacks on the looks of some individual women. Many of these women themselves play pretty nasty like Megyn Kelly.

I agree you could argue that Trump's tendency to attack the looks of various women he gets into brouhaha's with is sexist. But that at most would be 'interpersonal sexism'-which is not unimportant.
But that is nothing next to the institutional and structural sexism of the entire GOP field. Roe v. Wade is basically a faded memory in many red states.
