As a Trek fan, I guess I should point out that the Expanded Universe of Trek detailed more the Kobayashi Maru, as well as Kirk’s experience with it. Like in the Abrams film, Kirk ended up taking the test three times, the first two times losing it but showing reaction times well above average. The third time, he reprogrammed the game to create a “level playing field,” for which he was given a commendation for original thinking…and 90 demerit points, just short of the expulsion limit.

Basically, when faced with a no-win situation, one must think out of the box and be willing to take risks.

Can the GOP as it is now, do that?
