Well, ladies and gentlemen, we’ve come to the point as a country where Hell has frozen over and elephants can fly. At least, that’s how KIRO Radio’s Dave Ross sees things after Republican presidential candidate Lindsey Graham endorsed the candidate he has such a strong dislike for.
That candidate is Ted Cruz.
On top of that, it looks like Marco Rubio is the next Cruz supporter.
How did things come to this?
As CBS’ Chief White House Correspondent Major Garrett explains it, it might best be described by the scene in “The Ghostbusters,” as the heroes try to convince the mayor of New York City to allow them to battle the ghosts that are harassing the city.
“…you can accept the fact that this city is headed for a disaster of Biblical proportions … human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria.”
That’s exactly where we are, Garrett says. There is an increasing level of panic within Republican circles regarding Donald Trump. And now, under such dire circumstances, they are at a place where hiring absurd teams like the Ghostbusters sounds reasonable — or in this case, backing candidates unexpectedly.
“When there’s no other reasonable alternative, you do something you thought you might never have to do,” he told Dave.
