In the spring of 1976 Presidential Candidate and “outsider” Ronald Reagan lost a close race for the Republican nomination to Candidate “insider” Gerald Ford. Reagan held 1,070 delegates, Ford won with 1,187. However, Ford lost the General election to Jimmy Carter.
At the ’76 convention Mr. Reagan gracefully conceded his loss, and then later outraged the professional political class (GOPe) when he announced his open intention to appeal next time to conservative democrats and conservative independents. History would call these voters “The Reagan Coalition“.
In 1979 candidate Ronald Reagan was true to his word, campaigning on a common sense approach toward populist conservatism, the center-right Reagan Coalition came together.

“PROSELYTIZE”: using faith to recruit someone to join one’s party, institution, or cause…
There is a strategy, albeit a rather divisive strategy, which can be deployed politically by those intentionally selecting a very specific gathering of supporters.
In a highly fractured presidential bid, this proselytizing strategy may even garner enough of a base to mount a bid amid a larger field of candidates. However, it is exceptionally narrow -hence works only amid large numbers of possible options- and can ultimately only gain the advocate a small percentage of the overall audience.
The strategy can NEVER win a general election.
Current evidence reflects this approach is the preferred direction of Team Ted Cruz and the presidential campaign therein. (more…)
An interesting and unique way to support a candidate has surfaced on a Facebook page “Truckers for Trump“.
“Calling all Trucker Patriots that are Owner/Operators. Trying to get a count of how many of you would be interested in directly helping Donald Trump Win the White House. Need white box trucks that can accept Trump banners. Can be boxes from 12-53 feet. Now is the time to step up to the plate and show Trump that we are Really willing to pitch in!”… (FB LINK HERE)
As much as most of us dislike Salem Media lapdog Hugh Hewitt, he finally makes the point that needs to be underlined about Donald Trump -vs- Hillary Clinton when referencing history.
A 2016 voter who was a teen during Bill Clinton’s time in the White House, is now a thirty something voter who might be learning about the history of Clinton scandals for the first time. There is an entire generation of the electorate who might be completely oblivious to how vengeful Hillary Clinton was against Bill’s victims.
In addition, how many people under the age 30 know about Team Clinton destroying the White House when Al Gore lost to George W Bush? (more…)

A new poll from Nevada conducted by Gravis Marketing shows a similar trend to other early state polls, and is in alignment with recent national polls:
Gravis Marketing, a nonpartisan research and political marketing firm, conducted a random survey of 909 registered, likely voters using a registered voter database in Nevada. (more…)
We are in an era when many people are following politics a little more closely than usual, that’s a good thing. However, for many a paradigm shift is needed:
Modern GOPe presidential politics are not dependent on winning your vote, we are in an era when presidential politics is focused on “winning the office” – there is a big difference. The former is irrelevant when the latter is achieved.
Current political science classes are focused on teaching political theorem through the prism of history, but historical references are less accurate than ever before. The new age of the Atwater/Rove approach is based on using the foundation of ‘Citizens United’ to protect the professional political class.
When you understand the goal of the professional candidate is to achieve the office, and not to necessarily win your vote, we can find increased clarity on campaign behavior.
A vote for a given candidate is valuable. However, when you are inside the professional political class, a non-vote is just as valuable. (more…)

Presidential Candidate Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Hilton Head, SC at The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa earlier today at 11:00am.
Mr. Trump spoke for just over an hour to thousands of raucous supporters:
Candidate Donald Trump holds a commanding lead in almost every poll. While the media broadcast public polls, the internal polling actually drives the campaign activity. With that in mind the public polls provide ‘retrospective’ to either support, or undercut, the activity of the campaign itself.
The latest report from YouGov is one of many which highlights why Team Trump is slowly shifting focus toward a more general election race. Another good summary of indicators is Available HERE:
You might have also noted candidate Donald Trump referencing today’s Reuters polling trend in earlier interviews. Apparently that’s because the trend shows the number two and number three candidates have peaked, and now are moving back into low double digits.
