According to Donald Trump’s schedule, Trump and Sarah Palin are currently headlining a rally in Norwalk, IA. But according to reporters on the scene, Palin is nowhere to be found.

Donald Trump isn’t a fan of protesters at his rallies, sure, but is he willing to send them to their deaths? Sure, why not.

Back in 1995, Chris Christie loved New Jersey’s assault weapons ban so much he called anyone who’d attempt to repeal it “crazy” and “dangerous.” Now, along with everyone else in the Republican field, he is extremely mad about Obama’s relatively modest executive action on guns. What happened?

Jeb Bush—a man whose campaign has, one imagines, not followed the trajectory he hoped it might—has a new talking point: his daughter, Noelle, and her struggles with drug addiction, a subject he once explicitly requested the media not report on.

It hasn’t been an easy year to be Jeb Bush. He peaked in July, lost his groove, recovered his groove, realized he’d borrowed his new groove from a child predator, quietly phased it out again, and pet a stuffed moose. Fortunately, social media was there to chronicle every godforsaken gloomy minute.
