Senator Tom Cotton is the best thing to rise in the Senate since *DeMint’s coalition formed in ’10.

Cotton brings the context home with this defining line: “9 years ago, this regime was trying to kill me“…

Reminder (because it’s becoming increasingly more important to emphasize): Tom Cotton won his election bid with the widest margin of all 2014 Senate Races. Cotton’s  victory was despite the MSM and Establishment Republican team undercutting his efforts at every moment. Everyone in the beltway professional political class told him to “moderate”, he didn’t. Cotton refused to take the advice of the big GOP, and in so doing he destroyed his political opponents.

There has been a considerable response to the recent article: “Why I Support Donald Trump’s Campaign“, which has led to a larger conversation about the current cause of the problem for our body politic.  That expanded conversation deserves further explanation.

However, before going into the details I must thank the fine people at Lucianne for being brave enough to share the original article.

I say “brave enough”, because in today’s modern era when totalitarian government is unbelievably the norm – it takes courage to look at the brutally honest truth. Beyond that it takes bravery to share the truth knowing there are going to be vitriolic opinions against the messenger by those with a vested interest in the status quo.

It is uncomfortable to accept that a substantive part of the oppositional message about the “Citizens United” SCOTUS decision was factually accurate.

Citizens United did not only open the doors for unlimited use of money to be spent in advancement of political messaging and candidate advocacy – it opened the door for unlimited money to be spent protecting the establishment political class.

Most conservatives, including myself, did not initially see that consequence coming over the horizon. (more…)

Begin with the end in mind – I’m not trying to convince anyone that Donald Trump is  running a campaign to actually win the GOP nomination.

Factually, I’m as uncertain and perhaps more skeptical as the next person. However, given that Trump has actually done things he normally wouldn’t do if this was a mere publicity stunt (ie. stock divestitures, removal of conflicts etc.), for the sake of intellectual argument, I’m going to assume, cautiously yet optimistically, he’s in it to win it.

So why support him?

Argument #1 – After all, he’s been a democrat, an independent, a Republican, and well, I have consistently despised Charlie Crist.

Counter Argument – Then again, what about Mitch McConnell and John Boehner, and Orin Hatch, and Lindsey Graham, and John McCain, and John Cornyn, and Thad Cochran and, well, you get the point…. What’s the difference between supporting those consistently Republican “Republicans” only to have them advocate for liberal/progressive policies.

Are the aforementioned better because they didn’t change party registration, yet act like Democrats?

Let me first explain something few fully comprehend – and fewer still, are willing accept.

People like us rail against the “establishment” because, despite the GOP claims to the contrary, they never actually do anything to stop the liberal policy agenda. One only has to look at President Obama’s veto record (four in 6.5 years) to accept that only legislation Obama agrees with is reaching his desk. (more…)

Before most of America knew who Scott Walker was, we supported him in Wisconsin. We supported every aspect of his stand in 2010 against the Wisconsin “Fleebaggers“, the Democrats in the State Senate.

We supported him through the insufferable recall election; we supported him through the State Judicial challenge. We supported him when he was under direct and visible assault from the AFSCME, AFL-CIO, NEA and Wisconsin Teachers Unions.

We put a campaign direct link widget on our website.  We fundraised for Scott Walker.  We stood up for Scott Walker when no-one was paying attention – and continued to stand through three elections.

We no longer support Scott Walker

Walker lost all of our support by hiring Brad Dayspring.

Walker is a Decepticon !

One of the hidden benefits to Donald Trump running for President is his ability to expose the termites within the rot that has become the current strain of GOP Republicanism.

Dan Joseph is a Brent Bozell MRC contributor, and previously presented himself as a counter-moonbat. However, much like Glenn Beck and Dana Loesch exposed their affinity to illegal immigration during their 2014 Soccer Balls and Teddy Bear routine, Dan Joseph exposes his own deep seated ideology and aversion to conservatives.

Better to know the truth late than never…. (more…)

One of the benefits to candidate Donald Trump running for the 2016 GOP nomination is everyone finding out where EVERY GOP official stands. 

It is  not coincidental that every one of Trump’s detractors support:  • Obamacare, • Full Comprehensive Immigration Reform to Include Amnesty, • Common Core Federal Education Standards, and the • TPP Trade Deal.  These four items are all U.S. Chamber of Commerce (Wall Street) interests. 

As long as the GOP (professional political class) is beholden to, and advocating entirely because of, the U.S. CoC.  Only progressive policies will pass congress; those policies are antithetical to main street, jobs and the middle class. 

That’s why the GOP/McConnell/Boehner/CoC/Wall Street/Donohue et al, need to destroy Trump. 

(Via CBS) Arizona’s top Republicans are snubbing Donald Trump as he prepares to bring his surging GOP presidential campaign and brash talk on immigration to Phoenix.

U.S. Sens. John McCain and Jeff Flake and Gov. Doug Ducey will not attend the Saturday event — now set for the Phoenix Convention Center — hosted by the Republican Party of Maricopa County and featuring Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. (more…)

This is a good video to see a more relaxed candidate Trump without the confrontational tone generally inherent in national punditry broadcast.   Trump covers a lot of material within the questions, and you can see how he is able to communicate comfortably.

One of the aspects I took away from watching this was a stronger belief he really is in this race to win.  This is not Trump promoting Trump; this is Trump conveying he really does want to do this specifically to make America Great Again.

The Bush team is ultimately concerned that the electorate will connect the dots. The GOP establishment candidate is – The Chamber of Commerce candidate – is the Tom Donohue candidate – is the Wall Street Candidate.   (And therein lies the heart of the Mexico affiliation between Jeb Bush and Billionaire Carlos Slim)

Bottom Line: Jeb is Wall Street, Trump is Main Street.

Charlie Gasparino – Jeb Bush apparently doesn’t want people to know that he worked at Lehman Brothers, the now-defunct investment bank whose collapse led to the broader financial meltdown in 2008.

That’s the only conclusion I can come to after receiving a series of occasionally bizarre emails from his press people to what I thought was a fairly simple question about Bush’s work before he became a Republican presidential candidate. (more…)

An expansive YouGov poll conducted July 4th-6th shows Donald Trump with a significant lead over Jeb Bush in the first national presidential poll released since Trump announced his presidency.

It’s an exhaustive and inclusive 102 page poll – run frequently by the economist that covers a variety of issues, topics and public insight concerns.   One of the other interesting notations within the poll is the “primary concern” for party voters when selecting a candidate.  For identified Republicans the economy is the #1 issue.  For identified Democrats the sustainability of Social Security is #1.  (more…)

Anticipate all national polls showing the same result. However, due to Media and GOP aversion to Trump, anticipate paid political polling silence (if possible) until the last minute for debate #1 lineup.  PPP’s newest (independent) North Carolina poll finds that Donald Trump’s momentum just keeps on building. He’s the top choice of Republican primary voters in the state:

♦ Donald Trump 16%
♦ Jeb Bush 12%  (CoC Supported √ )
♦ Scott Walker 12% (CoC Unknown yet possible)
♦ Mike Huckabee 11%  ( Foster Friess √ )
♦ Ben Carson 9%  (Sheldon Adelson √ )
♦ Marco Rubio 9% (CoC Supported √ )
♦ Rand Paul 7%
♦ Ted Cruz 6% (CoC Unknown yet probable)
♦ Chris Christie 5% (CoC Supported √ )
♦ Carly Fiorina 4% (CoC Unknown yet probable)
♦ Rick Perry 2% (CoC Supported √ )

1% each for Lindsey Graham, Bobby Jindal, and Rick Santorum, and less than 1% each for John Kasich and George Pataki.

Candidate Trump is also leading the field amid young NC voters (by a mile), and men.

It is important to determine, research and note the CoC (U.S. Chamber of Commerce)  support because it’s the only TRUE method to keep track of the Jeb Bush strategy. (more…)
