I coached a youth hockey team a few years back. On of the phenomina of coaching kids that age is that regardless of how much you instruct them on how to play a position, invariably once the game starts they all in unison just go where the puck goes. It's as if the puck is a little magnet at it pulls the kids in and they follow it around and up falling over each other.

I'm seeing the same thing with many of these GOP candidates. Trump says something about immigration or repealing the 14th amendment and his position is like a magnet that brings in all the other contenders.

I don't understand why these guys just don't stake out their position and stay there.
