If you add the “not sure” group the ratio climbs to 80%.   Only 20% of republican voters have any confidence the Republican party leadership supports Donald Trump.
There is actually good news within the larger electorate understanding this dynamic.
THIS common understanding is why it is completely safe for candidate Trump to turn his rhetorical fire toward Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney and the various agents within the leadership of the GOPe.
(Via Rasmussen) Despite Donald Trump’s record turnout in this year’s primaries, most Republican voters are convinced that their party’s leaders don’t want him to get elected.
Sixty-six percent (66%) of Likely Republican Voters believe that most top GOP leaders do not want Trump to be elected president of the United States. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 20% think most Republican leaders do want their party’s likely nominee to win the White House. Fourteen percent (14%) are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Sixty-two percent (62%) of GOP voters say it is bad for their party that top Republican leaders continue to criticize Trump. Only 15% feel that continuing criticism is good for the party, while 17% say it has no impact. (more…)

If you were paying attention early 2011 you might remember the Wisconsin “Fleebaggers“. The Fleebaggers were Wisconsin Senate Democrats who lost the November 2010 election and lost control of the Wisconsin Senate.  In an effort to avoid voting in the minority, the Democrats literally left the state of Wisconsin, and went to stay in hotels in Illinois, in an effort to shut down the legislative session.
The same mindset is applied today in Washington DC as national Democrats begin staging a sit-in in an effort to force House Republicans to bring up legislation on gun control measures.

The entire event is pure political nonsense.  Creating optics, and manufacturing false controversy, is the type of activity Democrats are famous for.  Pelosi and her team know very well how politics is “downstream from pop culture”, and a big part of their strategy is to use pop culture to manipulate politics in their favor.

Today I‘d like to share my thoughts about the stakes in this election.
People have asked me why I am running for President.
I have built an amazing business that I love and I get to work side-by-side with my children every day.
We come to work together and turn visions into reality.
We think big, and then we make it happen.
I love what I do, and I am grateful beyond words to the nation that has allowed me to do it.
So when people ask me why I am running, I quickly answer: I am running to give back to this country which has been so good to me.
When I see the crumbling roads and bridges, or the dilapidated airports, or the factories moving overseas to Mexico, or to other countries, I know these problems can all be fixed, but not by Hillary Clinton – only by me. (more…)

Donald Trump appeared on Fox Business News with Lou Dobbs tonight to discuss the presidential campaign and the current state of the race.

HatTip Gateway Pundit who outlines an interview between News Max TV’s Steve Malzberg and Michelle Fields who is on a publicity tour for her book.  It’s the first time Fields has ever been publicly confronted over her ridiculously false claims against Trump’s former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski.

When Malzberg actually confronted Fields with the above quote, directly from the book she is promoting, she denies it exists and ends the interview:

This is a modified and updated repost from an early January ’16 outline which collected data from all of the various Donald Trump interviews, position papers, and historical outlines. Candidate Trump has been speaking about broad U.S. economic issues for decades. Trump approaches the challenges by focusing on “Main Street”, not Wall Street.
For the sake of brevity, I’m going to accept that most readers here are familiar with who funds and directs Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, Jeb Bush, and in larger more consequential measures, the DC UniParty legislative team in charge of U.S. Policy, ie. Wall street.
During the January 2016 South Carolina debate, and in response to Trump pointing out a necessary shift in trade position (a shift to put American interests first – a shift to stop the dependency on cheap import goods – a shift to use China’s dependency on access to our market to OUR advantage), Jeb Bush came back with an example of Boeing manufacturing.

Donald Trump, responded to Jeb’s Boeing example, and pointed out China is forcing Boeing to open a manufacturing plant in China. As would be typical from a candidate who is unfamiliar and poorly briefed on the issue, Jeb Bush looked back incredulously and said:

“C’mon man”…

There we saw it.
Right there was the disconnect.
However, almost everyone missed it.
There, in that exact moment, was the spotlight upon all that is wrong with a professional political class; globalists dependent on Wall Street best interest for their talking points.
Donald Trump was 100% correct.
But the issue is bigger.

Earlier we shared that Michael Steven Sandford (*note* could be alias) had been planning to assassinate Donald Trump for over a year after arrival from the United Kingdom, and driving across the country.  However, as an outcome of his court appearance today we discover he was also in the United States illegally:

LAS VEGAS  –  The man facing charges for attempting to grab a police officer’s gun so he could allegedly shoot candidate Donald Trump is in the United States illegally.
He had overstayed his visa from the United Kingdom.  That information came out during his arraignment at U.S. District Court Monday afternoon. (more…)

Andrew Breitbart put it best in 2012 when he delivered a resounding speech at CPAC.  No one amid our circle of affiliation supported Mitt Romney in the primary race of 2012.  None of us did; and the Conservative Tree House most certainly did not.
However, Mitt Romney won.   Romney destroyed his campaign opposition and used unrelenting negative attack ad fire against Newt Gingrich in Florida to finish off the closest competition he faced.   None of us were happy about Romney.  NONE OF US.

In the final analysis there are only two sides. The alternative to supporting Romney was to support the reelection of President Obama.  So we swallowed our pride, put on our boots and went to work to help Romney where we could. (more…)

This is the second specific assassination attempt on the life of Donald Trump.  If various ideological people were attempting to kill Hillary Clinton this would be leading the news coverage 24/7 with background stories on every aspect of the assassin’s life and family. 
Unfortunately, the visibility of assassination attempts against Donald Trump do not benefit the media leftist narrative.  According to the Associated Press report:
LAS VEGAS (AP) — A man arrested at a Donald Trump rally in Las Vegas told authorities he tried to grab an officer’s gun so he could kill the candidate, according to federal authorities.

A complaint [full embedded pdf below] filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Nevada charges Michael Steven Sandford with an act of violence on restricted grounds. He’s expected to appear in court on Monday afternoon.
Authorities said Sandford went to a Trump rally on Saturday at the Treasure Island Casino and approached a Las Vegas police officer to say he wanted an autograph from Trump. The report says Sandford grabbed the handle of an officer’s gun in an attempt to remove it, and was arrested. (more…)
