First Read is a morning briefing from Meet
the Press and the NBC Political Unit on the day's most important
political stories and why they matter.
GOP race turns into a Tarantino flick
You know we're 10 days out until Iowa, because
the political attacks -- on both sides -- have picked up. But what's
happening in the Republican race is akin to the final scene in "Reservoir Dogs" or "True Romance,"
where everyone has their weapons pointed at each other and, well, a lot
of people are going to die. Think about it: Donald Trump has his gun
pointed at Ted Cruz in the form of a new TV ad attacking Cruz for being "pro-amnesty"; Cruz is pointing his own gun back at Trump for supporting "eminent domain"; National Review's gun is directed at Trump in its "Against Trump" edition;
the Republican National Committee already fired back by disinviting the
magazine from co-hosting an upcoming debate; Jeb Bush's Super PAC,
according to one estimate, has already unloaded $20 million in negative
TV ads against Marco Rubio, though the Super PAC disputes that actual
figure; and Team Rubio already fired its weapon at Chris Christie. Now someone will survive -- Steve Buscemi's Mr. Pink or Christian Slater's Clarence -- but it's going to be a bloody mess.
