The critical thing to remember is EVERYONE NEEDS TO VOTE.  Ignore the ‘suspended campaigns’ narrative.  There is still an urgent need for all voters to head to their voting locations and have their voices heard.  Every vote still matters, and all votes add to the mandate for YOUR candidate.
Candidate Donald Trump is still working to accumulate the 1,237 delegates needed. It is critical that every voter in West Virginia and Nebraska have their voice counted !

House Speaker Paul Ryan gave an interview today to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in Janesville Wisconsin. – AUDIO HERE – One of the interesting and revealing aspects was how Ryan framed the questioning of his visible/pubic opposition toward Donald Trump:

…”We have right now a disunified Republican Party. We shouldn’t sweep it under the rug without addressing it. That would be to our detriment in the fall”…

What’s interesting about that statement is the fact Mitt Romney had stronger opposition in early May 2012 than Donald Trump holds at the same point in the nomination process four years later.
Paul Ryan never spoke of “disunity” amid the party apparatus until 2016 and nominee Donald Trump.
Through May 5th 2012 Mitt Romney was opposed by 62.5% of the republican electorate with 37.5% support (Data Here). By comparison through the same period 2016 Trump was opposed by 59.8% with 40.2% support (Data Here).
When you add up Paul Ryan asking CNN’s Jake Tapper for the interview last week (where he publicly announced his concerns about Donald Trump), together with several statements today in retreat, what you begin to see is Ryan was setting up the framework of opposition – then encountered a backlash he did not expect.

When contemplating the “inevitability threshold” we anticipated last year the Wall Street power brokers would switch to supporting Hillary Clinton if Donald Trump became inevitable. 

[…]  The Tripwire we identified back in July 2015 remains today.  If Wall Street (writ large) views Donald Trump as inevitable, they will re-evaluate –QUICKLY– the opposite side of their controllable coin.  Meaning they will evaluate Hillary Clinton.
Wall Street (The U.S. CoC, Tom Donohue, and all varied interests, DNC/RNC et al) set this up as a win/win. A Clinton/Bush strategy.  If Trump is believed to be inevitable in victory over Bush, they need to re-evaluate the Clinton side STAT.

Today that outcome begins:

(Via The Observer) Renaissance Technologies, a hedge fund founded by billionaire James Simons, donated over $13 million to Sen. Ted Cruz’s failed presidential campaign. For a guy who’s supposed to be pretty smart with his money, the ROI on that one has got to sting. (more…)

A poll of active military personnel conducted by Military Times shows Donald Trump with more than a 2-to-1 lead within the military service community.  We actually saw the first statistical evidence of this surface in the Virginia Republican Primary:

(Via Military Times) In a new survey of American military personnel, Donald Trump emerged as active-duty service members’ preference to become the next U.S. president, topping Hillary Clinton by more than a 2-to-1 margin. However, in the latest Military Times election survey, more than one in five troops said they’d rather not vote in November if they have to choose between just those two candidates. (more…)

This story is an example why the republican party consistently loses against the progressive left.   In response to the ridiculous, albeit recent, NC bathroom laws (which the MSM are having fun bashing conservatives on the head with) the Ted Cruz constituency wants to write bathroom laws into the 2016 republican party platform.
Yes, yes, unfortunately – that’s the modern right-wing cultural GOPe.  Look over there, shiny thing, shiny thing… quick, go chase it….. quick make a law to control it…. bathrooms, gays, transgenders… oh noes, the humanity !

WASHINGTON DC – After he lost the Republican nomination, Sen. Ted Cruz’s backers will now reportedly pivot towards trying to gain control of the GOP’s platform during the national convention.

According to The New York Times, top Cruz aide Ken Cuccinelli wrote in an email to supporters urging them to come to Cleveland in July to “protect against liberal changes to our platform.” Cuccinelli confirmed the effort to the Times, telling them that Cruz’s backers seek to protect “movement conservatism,” including a firming of the party’s core positions on abortion and the addition of language regarding transgender bathroom use.

CNN – New Day:

In 2014 when we first wrote about the GOPe road map, the prediction of 15 republican candidates and the “splitter strategy”, many political followers said we were engaged in speculative nuttery.
In 2015 when we first wrote about the roles of each of the “splitter strategy” participants, many more political followers said we were engaged in conspiracy theory.
In hindsight, both of those previous sets of predictions were entirely accurate.
However, in December ’15, and January ’16 we predicted something else, something even more radical.  We predicted record-breaking voter turnout in the primary and general election of 2016.
In November 2015 a blogger named Citizen Dale coined the phrase “The Monster Vote“.  We agreed with the underlying premise, and we predicted specific statistics that, if achieved, would prove if the Monster Vote was real.
However, because there are so many naysayers, we asked for independent review of our predictions and analysis.  Many of you will remember – Nick H, a statistician by trade, took on the challenge and expanded on our theory.   In February, we developed a few simple predictions for the primary and general election.
We can now look at the 2016 voter results and compare them to our tripwire predictions. (more…)

West Virginia is one of two states voting on Tuesday (the other Nebraska).  The Donald Trump campaign has put together a voter information card to assist West Virginia voters:

Donald Trump’s convention and delegate manager Paul Manafort appeared on Fox News Sunday to discuss the state of the race and the current position of the Donald Trump campaign:

Anyone else noticing how the political media and #NeverTrump camps are shifting the “conservative” litmus goalposts to circle the wagons around Paul Omnibus Ryan?
The larger Vichy Republican Tribe is being resoundingly defeated by the Monster Vote, the broad-based Trump Coalition.  There’s a particular humor in noting there’s more of us holding the whack-a-mole hammers than the popping up heads of the failing punditry.

The same thing happened in 2009/2010 when the Tea Party coalesced fiscal conservatives.  If you can generate a large enough movement, in this case the Trump Coalition, each person carrying a thimble full of water can fill a swimming pool containing all the politicos just by the sheer numbers within the assembly.
When a magnitude of the electorate begin focusing on a single objective, the DC snorkels begin taking on water, they can’t breathe, they need: A) the water to stop; and, B.) Snorkel extensions.
Team Trump is currently thumping the professional political class. They are simply being defeated. Historically, whenever this happens the GOPe begin looking for something ideological and political they can frame as a win to preserve the morale of the usurping agents.
By all accounts it appears they’re looking at “Saving Paul Ryan” to be that “shiny thing”.
