A new Florida FAU poll (full pdf below) shows candidate Donald Trump extending his lead and nearing the 50% threshold.   At 48% Trump has increased his lead by 11 points since the same poll was conducted a month ago.

Ted Cruz comes in a distant second at 16%, with home-state Senator Marco Rubio at 11% and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush 10% – the rest of the field is irrelevant in Florida.

The polling also includes the general Florida electorate enabling head-to-head match ups between the Republican candidates and Democrat candidates.  (more…)

Many people are becoming familiar with a common ‘truth-stretching trait‘ of Ted Cruz that appears to be infecting his followers and supporters.

In addition to Cruz’s eligibility concerns (which are contingent upon evolving his interpretations of the constitution), and in addition to the sunlight now beginning to reach his sketchy Wall Street financial and globalist background, Cruz is having to make claims out of loin cloth to protect his increasingly unstable candidacy.

Yesterday, in an effort to protect himself, Cruz was reduced to calling Kansas Senator Pat Roberts a liar.  The wheels are increasingly wobbly on the lonely Cruzin’ bus.  So it should come as no surprise to see his supporters doing the same.

Example:

As you can see above, a Ted Cruz supporter claims to have attended a Donald Trump rally (Scott Brown’s No BS BBQ event) in Portsmouth New Hampshire and been paid by $50 by the Trump campaign for attendance.

WHAT?  Donald Trump is paying people to attend his rallies?  Oh dear.

The Cruz Social Media team “Women for Conservative Leaders” jumped at the opportunity to promote and display the claim.  However,…..

This video was taken in Charleston South Carolina on the morning of the GOP debate.  Along with RNC head Reince Priebus, Fox’s Dana Perino and all of the National Republican Party Leadership were in attendance.  Holland Redfield, an RNC committeeman who represents the Virgin Islands is speaking:

This was the RNC meeting/convention in South Carolina prior to the debate later in the day.   The membership from this entire group apparatus is who comprised the audience.

Do the audience responses evident in the debate broadcast make more sense now?

Here’s an article from Politico: CHARLESTON, S.C. — A Republican National committeeman delivered a call-to-arms against Donald Trump during a closed-door GOP meeting on Thursday, urging his colleagues to take a forceful stand against those who he said are destroying the party’s brand. (more…)

The headline reflects the moment my previous support for Ted Cruz (2011/2012), which evolved to concern about Senator Ted Cruz (2013/2014), turned to admitting Ted Cruz was a phoney.

The date was Saturday, July 19th, 2014 – I remember it vividly because I noted in my journal “last straw in providing Cruz any benefit of doubt – done“.

The week leading up to that weekend DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson appeared before an emergency congressional committee and stated he needed $4,000,000,000 (billion) in emergency appropriations to deal with the enormous “humanitarian crisis at the border“.

We knew that claim was fake because we had been tracking border apprehension reports and comparing them to the expressed narrative from the White House.

There wasn’t a mass influx of unaccompanied alien children (UAC’s), there was a predictable and intentionally constructed swarm of illegal alien “families“. (more…)

We shared last week due to the increasingly urgent calendar numerous political Tripwires would be triggered rapidly.   An example comes today as North Carolina releases advanced notification of their 2016 Presidential Primary ballot.

However, before getting to the ballot, it must be emphasized that the GOPe will NEVER give up on Jeb Bush. Jeb is “their guy”, period.

♦ An example of how severely they are willing to protect him was evident on January 8th when Fox News released their polls which saved Jeb from the embarrassment of being kicked off the main debate stage.

Without that individual poll Jeb did not, and would not, qualify. ♦ Another example was evident during the debate, when South Carolina party officials stacked the audience with party loyalists. ♦ Another example came the following day (yesterday) when South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham endorsed Jeb.

A Tale of Two Shiftys’

There is a bigger controversy about to break wide-open that’s potentially far more significant than Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell approving Nikki Haley’s non-subtle attack on GOP frontrunner Donald Trump.  That bigger controversy is the Spanish version of the GOP State of the Union rebuttal containing an “amnesty pledge“.

As this is written, Governor Nikki Haley is trying to get out ahead of the building expose’.  Haley just gave a DC press conference claiming she does not support “amnesty”; however, against her earlier admission of Speaker Ryan and Leader McConnell approving her script – the Spanish version must have held similar approvals.

Governor Haley gave the English version, Miami Representative and party-insider Mario Diaz-Barlat delivered it in Spanish.  Here’s a (paragraph by paragraph) comparison as translated by the Miami Herald (emphasis mine):

(more…)

Republican Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, and Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell, personally selected South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley to deliver the State of The Union rebuttal/attack on GOP frontrunner Donald Trump.   Ryan and McConnell also personally approved the script.

Donald Trump is the leading GOP presidential candidate, and has been in the lead for over six months; he is supported by the majority of the party base.   Ryan, McConnell and Haley are attacking their own electorate. Exceptionally typical of aloof Establishment Republicans. – The Stupid Party Gets Even Stupider –

Note  – over the next several weeks, expect to see a Jeb Bush come-back to overtake Marco Rubio. Senator Rubio was never intended to be the torch-bearer for the GOPe nomination, he does not have political permission from the penthouse power brokers.

A new NYT/CBS Poll (full pdf below) shows candidate Donald Trump with a comfortable national lead over second place Ted Cruz. Third place Marco Rubio, while being supported by the new-money GOPe crowd (Hedge-Funders), does not have the fully vested approval of the Wall Street Oligarchs – watch his position carefully.

There are several indications that Ted Cruz has peaked, and there are certainly indications that Marco Rubio’s peak occurred about 3 weeks ago, between Christmas and New Year.  In the next three weeks we can expect to see some rather dramatic shifts; they will be most notable in the February States (Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina).

We are now entering the Thunderdome phase, and you can expect to see simultaneous trip-wire flares triggered at any moment.  All of the candidate Super-PAC banked money will now be deployed with exponential fury.  So too will the trickery and shenanigans. (more…)

President Obama will be delivering his final State of the Union Speech tonight at 9:00pm.  While he is anticipated to praise the Iran nuclear deal, the White House communication team are stating he will avoid the current Iran hostage crisis which erupted this afternoon.

The professional republican politicians (GOPe) have selected South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley to deliver the post-SOTU rebuttal.   According to early releases Governor Haley has been given a script to attack both President Obama and GOP frontrunner Donald Trump on behalf of the UniParty.  Apparently, her not so hidden-agenda secondary goal is to support a more preferable and palatable candidate than the vulgarian Trump.
