I hate writing posts like these because they simply waste time, effort, resources and ensure the overall discussions are taken off topic. However, unfortunately this is desperately needed because far too many people are falling into (transparently predictable) political traps.
With the increased importance of all communication platforms, there are now entire industries of paid agents who receive compensation for trolling the internet.
They are paid marketers and paid disrupters who write comments throughout various web-based media platforms because it is their job. There is an entire business model behind it.
Hillary Clinton’s PAC’s were recently called out for spending millions on paid political agents/operatives to attack her opponents on various media platforms. Today they are attacking any venue carrying a majority of Bernie Sanders supporters. Their goal is to divide and demoralize their opponent’s supporters – and it’s working. (<– Today)
Similarly, the same activity is happening on the republican side. Today was predicted to be a good day for candidate Donald Trump. It is not accidental that every political entity, every political adversary, in every venue, all day, from morning to night, is pushing negative stories about Donald Trump. This is transparently by design. Again, the goal is complete demoralization of their opponent and to turn a day of joyful victory into a day of concern and anxiety. (more…)
Today is election Day Today in: ♦ Pennsylvania ♦ Rhode Island ♦ Maryland ♦ Delaware and ♦ Connecticut.
If you are voting today in the Northeast perhaps you can share a ground report on what’s going on in/around your community, town or polling location.
Today is another critical day of voting for the rebel alliance. The most important thing to do is to have your voice counted. SO, GO VOTE:
Remember, every vote counts especially in primary races. Not only are we trying to win the top-line overall vote, but the percentage of vote matters for delegate distribution. Don’t take anything for granted. Complacency and apathy are dangerous. Ask your neighbors, friends and co-workers. Carpool and spread the word – EVERY VOTE COUNTS !
After voting, if you have a few minutes please share your perspective on events around your neighborhood. Ground reports are always the best gauge of voter sentiment.

Tracking polls can be a little sketchy because they only track a continued snapshot of the same electorate over long periods of time. Because a ‘tracking poll’ only measures a group of voters who are engaged early in the election process (in this example beginning December ’15) such polling methodology tends to miss the segment of the population that tunes-in later in the process, when it matters more.
As a consequence of methodology, tracking polls tend to miss the enthusiasm aspect which becomes more important as the race narrows and more people engage. However, that said, the current NBC/Survey Monkey tracking poll shows a significant upward shift for Donald Trump and a downward trend for Ted Cruz and John Kasich:
Because of the methodology, the results are on the lower end of actual sentiment. Meaning the national support for the upward shift is understated, and the drop in the downward trend is also understated. In essence, Donald Trump is likely doing much better nationally than this representative snapshot, and Cruz/Kasich are likely doing much worse.

From the Donald Trump Pennsylvania Campaign Website:
Polls Open Tomorrow in PA from 7:ooam to 8:00pm
According to local media reports, people were lined up as early as 6:30am this morning. Thousands couldn’t even get in to the filled venue.
WILKES-BARRE TWP. – Donald Trump took the stage to a cheering, capacity crowd at the Mohegan Sun Arena around 7:30 p.m. Monday.
“We love Wilkes-Barre,” Trump said, opening his remarks. “This place is unbelievable.”
Wow.
Helluva entrance!@realDonaldTrump pic.twitter.com/aggBlGPMpW— Streetwise Hercules (@PluknBlueberrz) April 25, 2016
Trump immediately said his son reminded him to immediately tell the crowd he supports the area natural gas and coal industries. “This is my last stop. Tomorrow is the election,” Trump said. A win in Pennsylvania will help him get closer to the Republican nomination.
“We’re going to make American great again,” he said. Trump was quick to quick praise local congressmen Lou Barletta and Tom Marino. “Lou and Tom, Lou and Tom. Get them up here (on stage). If you could get them down here. What great guys, from the beginning,” Trump said. (more…)
It was inevitable because it is strategically brilliant, and no-one knows how to position leverage better than the current republican frontrunner Donald Trump. Megyn Kelly will interview Donald Trump on May 17th for a special Fox event.
However, before reviewing the upcoming interview dynamics, and the strategic timing therein, it’s helpful to consider the entire political landscape as it relates to the uprising of common sense Americans and the abject disconnect from the professional political class.
Many readers have shared and discussed an issue that will now become of greater visibility. The “anti-Trump” media coalition (group 3 from previous discussion) were so caught up in the rapture and blood-lust to tear down Donald Trump they failed to pause and consider the extreme position they were taking.
If their efforts failed, and if Donald Trump -with the larger electorate behind him- succeeded in his quest, how could anti-Trump professional punditry ever walk back their most vitriolic and hate-filled statements? The short answer is, they can’t. (more…)
