Prior research doesn’t support this entire Reuters outline, but it’s not far off.  The GOPe road map can continue unaffected without Bobby Jindal, Rick Santorum and Rand Paul.  The “Team Jeb” strategy could also continue without Chris Christie (polling 5% NJ).  Rubio, Fiorina, Kasich and Huckabee are the most valuable to Jeb in that order.

(Via Reuters) […]  The six are: Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, former New York Governor George Pataki, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham and former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum.

Together, they raised $6 million but spent more than $9.5 million during the summer on everything from postage to travel to campaign rallies. All six are trailing badly in the polls.

[…]  Small donors are the lifeblood of any campaign and candidates will live or die by their ability to tap into a broad base of supporters willing to contribute up to the maximum of $2,700.

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, who is one of the front-runners in the Republican race, reported nearly 22,000 donors in the last quarter who have given more than $200 so far in the campaign. Bush had 7,300. (more…)

Amid increasing threats from foreign and domestic terror entities (ISIS, Mexican Drug Cartels and BLM, etc.) NewsMax is reporting presidential candidates Donald Trump and Dr. Ben Carson will begin receiving Secret Service protection.

The Secret Service will give agent protection to Ben Carson and Donald Trump while heavily upgrading Hillary Clinton’s existing detail, a Washington source close to the agency’s plans confirmed to Newsmax.

The deployment of agents around Republican candidates Trump and Carson is set to begin as early as next week. Approximately two dozen agents will be assigned to each candidate.

[…] The agency’s decision was primarily triggered by a significant number of threats to Carson, including death threats and terrorist chatter, the source said. (read more)

The news is particularly beneficial to Donald Trump’s campaign because he has been the visible target from domestic terrorism entities who hide under the auspices of social justice networks like La Raza and Black Lives Matter and spring upon the campaign crowd with various intents.

While discussion and/or presentation of violent leftist activity has been avoided by the Trump campaign, the concern has been clearly evidenced ‘between-the-lines’. (more…)

WASHINGTON — Federal agents were still cataloging the classified information from Hillary Rodham Clinton’s personal email server last week when President Obama went on television and played down the matter.

“I don’t think it posed a national security problem,” Mr. Obama said Sunday on CBS’s “60 Minutes.” He said it was a mistake for Mrs. Clinton to use a private email account when she was secretary of state, but his conclusion was unmistakable: “This is not a situation in which America’s national security was endangered.”

Those statements angered F.B.I. agents who have been working for months to determine whether Ms. Clinton’s email setup had in fact put any of the nation’s secrets at risk, according to current and former law enforcement officials. (more…)

I’m re-posting a portion of an earlier article below because something is beginning that will have long-term consequences.  Always try to pay attention to the “bigger picture” as we travel amid the daily events.

Amid the ozone layer of political consequence the Billionaire class of Rupert Murdoch, George Soros, and yes Charles Koch operate on (and invest in) issues that pertain to their interests.  They may not carry the same beliefs on down-stream issues; but in their own financial neighborhoods they are globalists first and foremost.  This is why we identify them collectively as the Wall Street Class.

In the most direct and consequential sense, free flowing immigration, amnesty, and open borders play into their goals and objectives.  They are diametrically opposed to -and afraid of- nationalism.  The Koch Brothers are open-border advocates.

In many very deliberate ways the 2016 Presidential Election is morphing into a battle between the globalists (wall street etc., corporate media, democrats, Hillary Clinton and GOPe republicans Jeb Bush) and the nationalists represented by Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump and the largest section of the U.S. electorate.

TONIGHT: Charles Koch opens up in a rare public interview. Don’t miss it at 9p ET on #KellyFile!

This decision by Fox News (via Megyn Kelly) is part of the larger maneuver to advance Marco Rubio as the vulgarian alternative.  ie. Wall Street’s “fail safe”.

Politico is reporting that congressional leadership may not present the TPP deal for approval until after the 2016 election, during the lame duck session. Obviously this solidifies a particular reality all too common in Washington DC: If it is only politically safe to vote on the deal when no political election risk is evident, then you can be assured the deal is not in the best interest of the electorate.

Washington – Mike Sommers, chief of staff for Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), said at a Ripon Society meeting that Congress was unlikely to move on the massive trade package until a lame-duck session more than a year from now.

Hazen Marshall, policy director for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who was also at the session, agreed that a TPP vote was more likely to happen in a lame-duck session, and added that the White House was trying to work with congressional leaders on timing. (more…)

This analysis is the precursor to the second part of what was written here yesterday: the first part of the latest Fox News poll.

Within the prior analysis we shared:

“Don’t expect the remaining embargo data (most likely GOP polling data) to be favorable to Donald Trump.  Remember, there is a goal which never stops – THAT GOAL is the removal of Donald Trump at all costs.  Promoting Ben Carson and Marco Rubio (to a lesser extent Fiorina) remains the media strategy”. (link)

The goal behind that strategy is the nomination of Jeb Bush.

The second part of the poll is now released, and exactly as predicted it shows exactly what we said it would most likely contain.  However, in order to explain the content we first need to revisit the construct of why these events are surfacing with such intense predictability.

Simultaneously, it is also necessary to discuss and deconstruct another Fox Business report that John Kasich is being touted as a possible Vice-President pick by Donald Trump.  Both the Fox Poll agenda, and the Fox Business report agenda are tied to the same overarching goals.

Bear with me because, despite my earnest efforts, more than likely this analysis is necessarily going to go in the weeds, it’s unavoidable. (more…)

Fox News has released portions of an embargoed national poll (pdf below).  Within the poll the reality of Hillary Clinton’s lack of electability surfaces.

The important aspect is not the data itself, Hillary’s weakness is brutally obvious for anyone who has followed the maneuvering of the financial power brokers who control the funding of election outcomes, ie. Wall Street.  The important aspect is the media being willing to publicly show it – That’s the Tripwire!

TRUMP BEATS CLINTON

As said, it’s not the data per se’, you have to step back and think about the larger narrative as it has been continually presented by the media. (more…)

The DNC has told their own Vice-Chairwoman to skip the Las Vegas debate because she was non-compliant in expressing that she believed in more debates.

The New York Times is reporting representative Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii,  said she was disinvited (polite word for banned) from the first Democratic presidential primary debate in Nevada after she appeared on television and called for more debates. 

New York Times […]  Ms. Gabbard confirmed on Sunday that her chief of staff received a message last Tuesday from the chief of staff to Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the chairwoman of the national committee, about her attendance at the debate. A day earlier, Ms. Gabbard had appeared on MSNBC and said there should be an increase beyond the current six sanctioned debates.

[…] The person close to the committee insisted: “She was not uninvited. The D.N.C. team wanted this first debate to have all the focus on the candidates. Gabbard’s people were told that if they couldn’t commit to that, since Tulsi was trying to publicly divide the D.N.C. leadership last week, then they should consider not coming.” (more…)

Mr. Johnson channels his inner Peter Finch (Howard Beale) and let’s everyone know he too is angry, and he’s not going to take it any more!!

The rising up continues….

Joe Biden needs to get in the race quickly. The insufferable Democrat leadership are desperate to avoid talking about Bernie Sanders. It really is an embarrassing display of entitlement arrogance within the Democrat Party and their refusal to contemplate any candidate other than Hillary Clinton.
