This is a really interesting poll from Jacksonville University (full pdf also included below).  It is interesting for several reasons:

• The poll shows the absolute importance/benefit of the original GOPe road map.
• The poll shows there are only FIVE viable candidates for the 99 Winner-Take-ALL primary delegates. (As Previously Outlined)
• This poll shows EXACTLY what is being discussed inside Florida in every single on-the-ground report, every email, and every political forum for high-information Floridians.
• Most importantly this poll shows exactly how the GOPe plan to nominate Jeb Bush.

When you look at this poll, and you remove Donald Trump from the equation, you can see EXACTLY how confident Team Jeb Bush (and Karl) was to the road map they created back in 2014.
A Five-Way race was exactly what the RNC/GOPe envisioned for Florida and this polled result EXACTLY MATCHES what we have previously shared the GOPe predicted 15 months ago.  These results were exactly what their internals were showing.  This result was exactly how they were going to nominate Jeb Bush.  I cannot emphasize this enough.
To understand the importance – we must go BACK to go FORWARD.  Back in the Winter of 2013, during the lead-up to the 2014 mid-term primary race, we found the legislative priorities for Wall Street, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Tom Donohue. (more…)

The Charge of The Vulgarians Continues

The latest Quinnipiac Poll is released today (full pdf format below).  Despite a well coordinated RNC/GOPe strategy, “Operation Hummingbird“, Donald Trump continues to maintain a sizable lead.
Obviously the non-Trump coalition of Establishment Republican Party insiders will seek to parse the polled results and internals continually seeking to diminish the risk represented by Trump to their grip on power.  However, Donald Trump is in the perfect position to eliminate the well planned RNC/GOPe road map to nominate Jeb Bush.

Governor Bobby Jindal had launched the most vitriolic of attacks against Donald Trump and now is polling at ZERO.  Governor George Pataki joined Jindal in his pre and post debate attacks against Trump, and finds himself joining hands with Jindal around a similar tent, ZERO. Over the past month Senator Rand Paul was the third most vitriolic attack dog, and has now dropped to 1%. (more…)

Here’s the South Carolina Townhall event from earlier today with candidate Donald Trump:

Knowing Operation Hummingbird was increasing with exponential frequency – We suspected the full-throated Trump hate would be showcased and polished on Fox News today. In anticipation of this display we sent out the following tweet:

LOL Trump Hater, and Jeb's Salem Media tool, Rich Lowry (NRO) shows up as guest on @megynkelly Go Figure #KellyFile #OperationHummingbird

As predicted, we were not disappointed.
Against the backdrop of National Review previously claiming Donald Trump’s comments about Carly Fiorina were “sexist”; tonight on Megyn Kelly NRO editor-in-chief Rich Lowry appeared on the Kelly File with Megyn Kelly.
The YouTube ID of cAkGD-otks4?feature=player_embedded is invalid.

Look Trump attacks everyone but she’s become a much bigger target. And I think part of what’s going on here is that last debate. Let’s be honest, Carly cut his balls off with the precision of a surgeon.

Notice Megyn Kelly’s gleeful and giddy ‘too-cute-by-half’ reaction.  Now imagine if the same thing was said about a female candidate. (more…)

(Via Bluto) The repeated MEDIA Talking Point:

*Trump has peaked. He’ll slowly fall off and quit. He’s finished….

The Evolution of the MEDIA:

*He won’t run
*He’s not serious
*He has funny hair, we hate funny hair
*Bankruptcy!!! OH NOES! (pretend it’s not legal, mmmkay?)
*He won’t file his candidacy papers
*He’s never held public office. He can’t win.
*He won’t connect with the voters
*He’s finished if he doesn’t apologize to Univision
*He’s finished if he doesn’t apologize to Nascar
*He’s finished if he doesn’t apologize to Macy’s
*He’s finished if he doesn’t apologize to ESPN
*He’s finished if he doesn’t apologize to McCain
*He’s finished if he doesn’t apologize on demand, period.

“Operation Hummingbird” is dependent upon the general Republican electorate/audience and media consumer being swayed by optics and manipulation as a strategy.  In essence full-throated “gaslighting“.
Cutting through that intent and getting to the substance of truth is really not too difficult, but you won’t find many outlets (new media or old) willing to go there.  However, as you are aware for us the Truth Has No Agenda, and Sunlight Is The Best Disinfectant.
We begin by watching this video of Carly Fiorina appearing on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and the discussion of a Muslim candidate eligible as U.S. President:

Just sticking with raw data, and trying to avoid injecting opinion, now consider this: (more…)

Donald Trump appears fully aware of Operation Hummingbird:

.@FoxNews has been treating me very unfairly & I have therefore decided that I won't be doing any more Fox shows for the foreseeable future.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 23, 2015

It makes sense for Trump to pull back from Fox.  Murdochs’ (all of them) and Ailes have put themselves so far out on the visible limb of bias there’s no way for anyone within the organization to retain the illusion any longer.   – SEE OPERATION HUMMINGBIRD –
 

UPDATE:  Full Poll pdf Results released earlier today (below) Graphic Updated
FLORIDA – Marco Rubio has overtaken Jeb Bush among Florida Republicans, as he benefits from positive reviews of his performance in the most recent presidential debate.
A Florida Atlantic University poll to be released Wednesday shows Rubio, the state’s junior senator, is in second place in the Republican primary field in Florida. His political mentor, former Gov. Jeb Bush, is in third place.

[…]  That confirms Florida’s status as the most important swing state in the presidential election — it could go either way and it awards more than 10 percent of the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency. (more…)

“Operation Hummingbird” an identifier given (by me) to describe a very strategic approach of Karl Rove in getting Jeb Bush the republican nomination.  “Hummingbird” describes a very a specific strategy to overcome a hurdle currently blocking Rove’s path, Donald Trump.  Often it is easier to use a descriptive term, rather than spend 300 words having to re-explain a strategy as it expands and becomes increasingly visible over time.

Australian billionaire Rupert Murdoch wants the Trans-Pacific Trade Deal approved.  The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is constructing the trade deal.  TPTA controls 40% of global manufacturing. Murdoch is Mr. Wall Street.  Murdoch is supporting Bush to get his deal.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Lobbying Efforts 2015:

• Maintain Obamacare without repeal or adjustment.
• Promotion of federal Common Core education standards.
• Comprehensive immigration reform to include amnesty.
• Trans-Pacific Trade Deal Approval.

Both Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush support these legislative priorities.  They, along with Mitch McConnell et al, have been lobbied (campaigns paid) to support them.  Failure is not an option.  The game has been rigged.  Wall Street will not be denied. Period.
The ultimate RNC/GOPe goal is to get Jeb Bush on one side of the primary equation, and then see the DNC get Hillary Clinton on the other side.  Together they represent a Win/Win for Wall Street regardless of general election outcome.

This is the goal; this is the only goal; this goal will never be abandoned.  They will never stop working to deliver this goal. Trillions are at stake.  Jeb Bush is the only acceptable RNC/GOPe candidate; that’s why Jeb doesn’t even have to work hard – the outcome is pre-ordained, decided, done.  Jeb Bush will never be abandoned. Period. (more…)
