Red Circled Candidates All Support Trans-Pacific Trade Agreement (TPP)

HR2146 (TPA “Trade Promotion Authority” or “Fast Track”):  This House Bill #2146 originating April 30th ’15, became the vehicle for passage of Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal.

HR2146 was originally introduced in the House of Representatives as a bill to address issues with retirement funds of federal law enforcement officers and firefighters.

In April of 2015 Senator Ted Cruz and House Ways and Means Chairman, Representative Paul Ryan, supported TPA being added to HR2146.  Their support was most notable when they posted the following Op-Ed which appeared in the Wall Street Journal on April 22nd: (more…)

Notice the emphasis in the first sentence.  The testimonial for candidate support from the campaign manager Berry Bennett is to quote social media metrics: “Facebook friends, twitter mentions and google searches” – something very odd feeling about that.

If Ben Carson’s actual Facebook following are “real people” (4.7 million according to his Facebook page) and not purchased “likes”, then why does he not show up with greater support in the post debate polls?

Drudge shows Carson in 5th place with 8,000 votes (less than 5%) in their post debate polling.   The Time Poll has less than 4% support for Carson; and around 9% at The Blaze.

45 minutes prior to the end of the Republican debate the owner of Fox Broadcasting and Wall Street Journal, Rupert Murdoch, tweeted this out:

It would appear the Wall Street goal to use Marco Rubio as a vessel toward a GOPe nominee delivering a Clinton/Bush ticket is clearly underway.

By Menagerie –  It seems to me that we have an almost unheard of opportunity here. A choice between a builder, a creator, a great doer, a man who actually has a long record of achievements which show his determination, his ability to do things and get others to do things, in other words, some big results, and on the other side, politicians.

He hasn’t run a country, they say. Well, what country, state, or even town have they run successfully?

As near as I can tell, politicians get paid very well to talk, and results are never worried about, nor are they held accountable for them. (more…)

The currently considered TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) trade deal has the potential to be the fulcrum under every plank in the 2016 presidential election.    Many people view immigration as the #1 concern underlying further economic issues – however, few people recognize that immigration is actually part of the TPP construct.

Globalists, via Wall Street international financiers, are determined to get TPP passed into law.  Few of the GOP candidates stand in the way; Donald Trump is the primary roadblock to the current globalist goals.

“Either we have a country, or we do not – it really is that simple”  ~ Donald J. Trump

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin — GOP frontrunner Donald Trump is releasing his policy plan to protect American workers and businesses from China’s destructive currency manipulation and financial policies.

The move hints he’s planning to come out guns-a-blazing on trade policies at the Fox Business Network debate here in Milwaukee on Tuesday evening. (more…)

The latest polling from New Jersey (full pdf below) comes from Quinnipiac Group and shows Donald Trump with a commanding lead over the GOP field.   Home-state governor Chris Christie comes in fourth with 8% support.  Rubio has gained ground on Carson:

(Methodology) This RDD telephone survey was conducted from November 4 – 8, 2015 throughout the state of New Jersey.  Responses are reported for 1,456 self-identified registered voters with a margin of sampling error of +/- 2.6 percentage points.

Prior to debate #1 (Fox – Ohio) we shared the expectation that Megyn Kelly would confront/attack candidate Donald Trump to aide in framing a “sexism” narrative.  Obviously, we were not disappointed.

Prior to debate #2 (CNN – Regan Library CA) we shared the expectation of a stacked and controlled GOPe audience and the beginning of what we called “operation hummingbird“, the intentionally aided advancement of Carly Fiorina and Marco Rubio.  Again, obviously we were not disappointed.

Prior to debate #3 (CNBC – Colorado) we shared the expectation that Governor John Kasich would be the attack dog, and using home-field advantage Jeb Bush would have an opportunity to shine in a state controlled by family RNC membership.  Unfortunately, Jeb whiffed the Tee Ball, and the bias of the CNBC panel stole the limelight, but the expectation was again clearly evidenced.

So what portends for Debate #4 ? (more…)
