A very good article from Forbes – outlining solid economic reasons for optimism in Donald Trump winning the republican nomination.

(Via Forbes)  I am going to stick my neck out: Donald Trump will be America’s next President. Since December, I have been writing commentaries on the theme of “Why Trump Is Winning.” For a few of them, click here, here, and here. So far I have held back from predicting ultimate victory. But after Trump’s impressive showing in South Carolina (in the teeth of criticism from Pope Francis, not to mention continuing prophecies by the usual pundits that the Trumpmobile would soon hit a puncture), it is now time to go a step further: barring some unforeseen disaster (far bigger than any challenge he is likely to meet from Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, or even Hillary Clinton), I believe Donald Trump is now unstoppable.

Why? Not only is Trump speaking truth to power on two crucial issues – trade and immigration – but it is now clear he has ignited long smoldering voter anger on both issues.  (continue reading)

After spending so much time following the internecine machinations of the professional DC scheme throughout 2014, it is a prudent and necessary duty to leave a footnote for the exit of Jeb Bush.

In the aggregate, we’ve probably spent more time defending the various Bush’s than framing their flaws, faults and self-interests.  Indeed, I’ve personally defended Dubya more than most from a re-writing of specific historical events.  However, there is a certain issue which deserves to be folded neatly into the recently closing chapter.

Any favorable opinion of the Bush Clan which -justified or not- was previously held, is now a long and distant memory.   The 2013 decision to run Jeb Bush for president of the United States in the election of 2016 has proven the historic detractors were entirely correct.

There has never been a more selfish or self-serving decision made by a top-tier political group of insiders, than for the Bush Clan to promote Jeb Bush knowing full well the electorate wanted nothing to do with another Bush candidacy.   (more…)

Many people have been making inquiries about the upcoming Nevada caucuses and where the candidates’ stand.  Caucuses are notoriously challenging to predict via polling because actual voting requires more affirmative action by the supporter than simply dropping in a polling booth to vote.

Polling may measure support, but support does not necessarily translate to caucus votes unless there’s a really good turn-out GOTV campaign on the ground to get the supporters to the caucus events.

However, that said, here is the most recent neutral polling paid for by CNN/ORC (full pdf below).   The Polling shows only the level of candidate support in Nevada which may, or may not, translate to the results from the caucus:

Additionally, here’s some food for thought on the overall race moving forward. (more…)

Be of good cheer and enjoy the removal of one-half of the globalists 2016 objectives; indeed a difficult Rubicon has been successfully traversed.  However, do not be naïve in thinking one significant battle means the war has been won.

The bloodiest battle still lays ahead.

♦ Jeb Bush has been forced out of the race.  It cannot be overstated how significant this victory is in the grand scheme of things.  The foundational block, upon which the entire road-map was built, has been removed.  However, the GOPe engineers will now shift attention to a scorched earth campaign to benefit their retention of power.

We would all be wise to remember in 2014 Chris McDaniels actually defeated Thad Cochran in the first GOP Mississippi primary.  It was only after their initial defeat the GOPe decided to destroy anything that stood in their way – again, the retention of power was the ultimate motivator.

We can now expect those same DC influences, including the entire camp that supported Jeb Bush, the old guard, to work diligently (albeit under darkened cover) to assist Hillary Clinton, and destroy anything that would interrupt their grip on power.

Yes, the GOPe would rather lose to Hillary and retain their place at the trough than to see entry into their cloistered club by the Vulgarian Donald Trump. (more…)

Newt Gingrich cuts through the nonsense that was flowing from last nights punditry and talks about Donald Trump’s South Carolina victory.  Gingrich hits the nail on the head.

In August of 2015, against considerable backlash, we stood firm on a fundamental position that Senator Ted Cruz did not have a pathway, a roadmap, to victory in the 2016 GOP presidential primary.

Despite the fundamentally sound reasoning for our prediction, which was entirely based on congressional district by district analytics, our position drew an immense amount of criticism and even a quick response from the Cruz campaign itself (Brian Phillips).

Unfortunately, tonight’s South Carolina results vindicate a massive amount of historical research.  There simply is no pathway to victory when you rely almost exclusively on “proselytizing as an electoral strategy“:

Polls Close in South Carolina at 7:00pm.  Sometime around 5:00pm most media will begin reporting “preliminary exit poll” information.   However, it is important for South Carolinians to IGNORE ALL EXIT POLLING INFORMATION. The media are notorious for using “exit polls” to influence the last few hours of voting.

POLLS CLOSED !
