It’s been a busy week! Trump swept all five primary states on Tuesday. Ted Cruz made a Hail Mary VP selection in Carly Fiorina, and Bernie Sanders claimed he still had a pathway to the Democratic nomination. How appropriate that the week ended in a night of jokes at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner.

Last week, Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders felt the burn as he came under fire for the things he didn’t say in an interview with the editorial board of the New York Daily News. Specifically, lacking details on how to break up the banks (the cornerstone of his campaign) and what legal statutes the Vermont Senator would use to prosecute the Wall Street execs he blames for the 2008 financial meltdown.
However, it was Sanders’ naive view of the current GOP-controlled Congress that really got my attention.

Last Thursday’s tenth GOP presidential debate felt like a WWE SummerSlam event. By the halfway point, I wouldn’t have been surprised if Donald Trump had walked off stage and tagged Chris Christie to come out and slam a folding chair against Marco Rubio.
We aren’t at the conclusion of a Tarantino-worthy Mexican stand-off yet, but thanks to Saturday’s South Carolina GOP primary, we now have a clearer picture of who will be left to face off before the end credits roll.

Last week was the final GOP debate before today’s caucuses in Iowa. However, the biggest winner from Thursday’s debate may have been someone who didn’t even show up.
