The Ohio Republican ballot for president is causing some confusion as outlined within this video:
Is the ballot intentionally confusing by design?
Given the previous discussions on State Party shenanigans, and the intent of state republican party leadership to hold complete influence over their delegate’s decision-making, many believe the answer is “probably”.
Sorry for missing the live stream – here’s the incredible video of a massive rally in Madison Mississippi:
Ohio is Governor John Kasich’s home state, and he should do very well there while he controls the Republican apparatus. (full pdf below)
OHIO – […] The bottom has really fallen out on Marco Rubio’s image. For much of the year he’s been among the best liked of the Republican candidates, even if he wasn’t voters’ first choice. Now he’s the least popular candidate, with only 33% of voters seeing him favorable to 51% who have an unfavorable opinion. Even when you combine first and second choices Rubio’s still in a distant last place with 22% to 55% for Kasich, 46% for Trump, and 28% for Cruz. (more…)
Just about every political enterprise in the known universe is spending millions on negative attack ads against Donald Trump in Florida. Some reports put the spending over $50,000,000 per week.
Approximately 14-18% of all broadcast commercials -depending on media market- are targeting Trump. For perspective that’s approximately one-tenth the money spent by Mitt Romney in 2012 attacking Newt Gingrich – and that level alone was brutal.
Today candidate Donald Trump began to push back:
.@MittRomney: I am supporting 3 of the candidates right now. @tedcruz @marcorubio & @JohnKasich #FNS

Caterpillars never-ever, ever-ever, wear brown boots. That sensibility is about as useful as polling this time of year. Just about every poll hitting the media airwaves has some sort of media-purchased agenda behind it. Through the end of the primaries all of them should be taken with a grain of salt.
For today’s narrative Pollster Patrick Murray (he’s now infamous) puts his chicken on a string and submerges it beneath the media surface – SEE HERE. The frenzy ensues. (full pdf below):
Here’s the problem. Patrick’s polling uses 83 registered “independent” voters amid a total poll of 403 respondents. See the issue?
Candidate Donald Trump is holding a rally today in Concord, North Carolina at the Cabarrus Arena & Events Center. The event begins at 12:00pm EST.

[…] we’ve had some people say: “I want to switch to the Trump party”…
Youngstown Ohio – About 1,000 Democrats in Mahoning County so far have switched their party affiliation to Republican with election officials saying several did it to vote for Donald Trump, the GOP presidential front-runner.
“We are seeing something this election cycle I’ve never seen before to this degree,” said board Chairman Mark Munroe, who’s also the county Republican chairman. “Every day I take phone calls or get voice messages from people saying they’ve been Democrats all their life and they’ve had it. They want to vote for Donald Trump. I’m surprised at the volume of inquiries we’re getting. It’s remarkable.”
A number of Democrats taking a Republican ballot when voting early at the board “say they want to vote for Trump,” said Joyce Kale-Pesta, Mahoning County Board of Elections director.
About 7,000 Mahoning County voters have cast early votes. Early voting started Feb. 17 and ends March 14, the day before the primary. Of those 7,000, about 14 percent were Democrats who voted Republican, Kale-Pesta said. That’s about 1,000 so far. (more…)
The bad news is this poll (full pdf below) comes promoted by NBC/WSJ via Mark Murray. The good news is they purchased the poll from Marist Polling, a more reliable source than prior NBC/WSJ sources (public relations firms).
However, all of that being said, the most recent polling has been substantively wrong when compared to primary election results.
It’s actually a little surprising that John Kasich would not be doing better in Michigan than these results reflect. The ‘Open’ Primary Election is Tuesday, March 8th and there are 59 Delegates proportionally available in a ‘winner-take-most’ outcome.
The progressive media embed who relishes undermining American sovereignty, Chris Wallace, scripted the Sunday conversation with Rush Limbaugh and Mitt Romney. (Two videos below).
In the first segment Wallace discusses the severely fractured Republican party with Rush Limbaugh; who, as always, finds a way to obfuscate, and weave, in and out of intellectual honesty and propaganda – the consummate squish providing just enough evidence to keep the sheeple audience protecting his ridiculous positions.
In the first part of the Limbaugh segment, Rush rightly points out the goal of the GOP party apparatus is always to retain ownership of a small controllable tent. This is why the GOPe want independent-minded, “common sense” folks to consistently feel marginalized and leave the Republican party. The GOPe controls their side of the UniParty equation much easier without those pesky unwashed masses disrupting their banquets.
