I think he timed it just to overshadow Jeb, I mean announcing the day after the presumptive frontrunner?  Tell me that's a coincidence with a straight face I dare you.

Yeah, that's what I thought as well, especially as the attacks progressed.

We know he constantly threatened as much from Day 1 until the day Cruz dropped out.


What Bush-Clinton rematch would be complete without a Perot?

Clinton also formally launched in the same week.

The only thing I got right then was what paper tigers Scott Walker, Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, and Rand Paul were.

Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, and John Kasich.

Carson maybe for his own willful lack of knowledge, but for the others, consider the context. All those other candidates were attacking Trump head-on since day 1 and saw their favorables decline as a result, the only ones who didn't were Rubio/Cruz. When the latter two eventually started attacking Trump their favorables also started declining. The argument can be made that the former candidates had their potentials deflating due to attacking Trump early on, while Rubio/Cruz had their potentials inflated due to opportunistically benefiting from Trump's attacks on the other rivals.
