In the current campaign war between the Ted Cruz and Donald Trump camps there have been multiple accusations of targeting spouses.  However, a video from early March clearly shows the Ted Cruz campaign origination to target Donald Trump’s wife Melania.

On Tuesday March 8th, Ted Cruz operative Andrea McWilliams, a Texas-based lobbyist, told Fox anchor Neil Cavuto that in light of former first lady Nancy Reagan’s death this week, “we should be looking at the first lady candidates, instead of just talking about the men.” (Watch Video @3:58)

NOTE: Headline earlier changed because it was pointed out correctly, Senator Ted Cruz does not actually/technically deny the allegations. Instead Cruz is attacking the story of them: “the attacks are garbage”, “the smears are false”, etc.  In essence, professional lawyer speak.

Yesterday the National Enquirer published an article claiming Senator Ted Cruz had multiple extramarital affairs. – Full Back Story Here – The leading hashtag on Twitter today is #CruzSexScandal.  Apparently the story was also briefly discussed on CNN.

Today Senator Ted Cruz obfuscated the scurrilous claims and strangely blamed Donald Trump for the story. Senator Cruz took to Facebook with a post about the National Enquirer story:

Cruz also discussed the controversy in a press conference: (more…)

Sounds about right considering Walkers’ insider pedigree.  Scott Walker was single most disappointing candidate in the past decade. He won his elections, and was defended against all recall efforts, with the Tea Party on point.  However, he reversed his alignment and became BIG GOPe after his re-election bid. Walker is very close pals with Paul Ryan and Reince Preibus now.

WISCONSIN – If the Republican Party finds itself with an open convention in July, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker believes the nominee may not be Donald Trump, Ted Cruz or John Kasich.

“I think if it’s an open convention, it’s very likely it would be someone who’s not currently running,” Walker told reporters Thursday. “I mean, who knows. The one thing I qualify — it’s like the qualifications you see on those ads you see for car dealerships. I think any of us who comment on this election have to qualify that almost every prediction’s been off, so it’s hard to predict anything.” (more…)

Don’t WAIT – Monday March 28th is the deadline for eligible Pennsylvania residents to change their political party affiliation or register to vote in the primary election April 26.

Pennsylvania has a closed primary, meaning voters must register as a Democrat or Republican to cast a vote in the presidential primary contest, an election that typically increases voter turnout.  If you are an independent in Pennsylvania, and you wish to vote in the republican presidential primary, you must change your party affiliation BEFORE MONDAY.

Independents and other non-partisan registered voters will only be able to vote for or against two proposed amendments to the state constitution. One amendment seeks to extend the mandatory retirement age for judges from 70 to 75; the other would abolish the Philadelphia Traffic Court. (more…)

Remember – There will always be three “Battle Spaces”: ¹ The visible fight. ² The Generals. ³ The Politicians and Wall Street Decision-makers.

Look at this picture carefully.

It’s actually a cropped screen-grab from a republican political ad that first ran in December 2013 when no-one was paying attention to 2016 presidential politics.

Throughout the early spring of 2014 the party ad popped up on various conservative sites and was widely distributed when few were paying attention.

We copied and saved the image, along with a host of other images and research data links, because that picture’s appearance coincided with our initial research into the GOPe roadmap to nominate Jeb Bush.

It was from these initial discoveries, and quietly tracking the various leadership members within the professional republican party and GOPe apparatus in Washington DC, that eventually led us to share the outline of the nomination path they were constructing. Eventually, that became The GOPe Roadmap. (more…)

Political battles are not that much different from traditional wars and battles.  Most of the attention is always focused on what’s visible, what you can see, the consequences.

However, it’s far away from the geography where the real stakes are determined.  Three levels: #1) The actual fighting, the battle space.  #2) The assembly of Generals at HQ.  #3) The cloistered closed-door meetings where the politicians decide.

The media keeps everyone focused on #1, it’s easier – there are “sides” etc.  But the GOPe roadmap, and the eye-opening “Splitter Strategy”, was found by focusing intense sunlight upon #3.

Now…

…When the stakes are at their highest, anyone is expendable.  As a consequence no-one is not expendable.

Remember that. (more…)
