The GOP are all calling each other names now

The Republican field is two candidates smaller than it was this morning, and the survivors are talking lawsuit. Ben Carson is attacking Ted Cruz, who is attacking Donald Trump, who is attacking Ted Cruz. Contenders who called each other "good friends" last month now have new language to describe their pals: "Hysterical." "Fragile." "Unhinged."

Ted Cruz lied on Ben Carson -- seems to have helped Trump regain his post-Iowa stride. Trump's narrative, which popped up late yesterday and hit the big-time today: he isn't a loser after all. He's just a winner who's been cheated... by Ted Cruz. And so he'll "probably sue" to have the Iowa election results overturned, the second time he's floated the idea of suing Cruz in as many months (the first was, of course, over Cruz's Canadian history.)
