I hear rumors (little birdies) telling me that Ted Cruz spoke of the GOPe “splitter strategy”.  Dunno.  I haven’t watched the speech.  You decide….

I’m a little busy today (more…)

Speaker John Boehner Quits

You’ll notice not a single reporter is questioning Speaker John Boehner over the missing Federal Budget.  A budget for a fiscal year that starts in SIX DAYS, on October 1st.  A fiscal year 2016 without a budget despite the House and Senate being in Republican control.
Boehner’s explanation?  Blah, blah, blah….   However, pay close attention to what Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says (at 01:23) from the Senate floor about Speaker Boehner’s leaving.

 (01:23)….”and he took over at a very difficult time for his party“…

Let that sink in.  Whose party?  “HIS PARTY” says “Republican” Senate Leader Mitch McConnell.

Video is prompted to begin at 06:45 for Roger Stone interview:

Anyone who is viewing the battle between Donald Trump and Fox News as a representative battle of thin-skinned ego is entirely missing the point.

Trump is not just taking on the construct of progressive ideology that has undermined the essence of American exceptionalism; Trump is not just exposing the immense number of faux-conservatives in media and political punditry;  Trump is not just allowing us to see the scope of anti-American interest; no, he’s taking on the very selfish foundation they’ve used to sell out our country. Heck, he’s taking on all the “Decepticons” simultaneously.
In many ways Fox’s Roger Ailes and Republican Mitch McConnell carry the same ideological character trait, deception. For McConnell his deceptive ways allow him to retain power inside the DC construct. For Roger Ailes manipulation benefits his media dominance and political interests.
Neither McConnell nor Ailes can actually be trusted.  However, we are only just beginning to understand the enormity and scope of the previously hidden betrayal.
It all boils down to a very familiar problem. Would you rather rid yourself of the schemer, manipulator and deceiver who claims to be your friend – and as a consequence face a visible enemy in their stead. Or do you chose to be associated within the camp of a person you can never fully trust. (more…)

We suspected, heck, anyone could see it was brutally obvious, that CNN was running cover to protect the optics of Bernie Sanders getting a same venue audience last weekend TEN TIMES greater than Hillary Clinton.

Both Clinton and Sanders held events two days apart -last weekend- at the campus of The University of New Hampshire.  Clinton had 300 attendees, Sanders had 3,000.

First thing Monday Morning (6am 9/21/15)  CNN blasts out a poll showing Clinton leading Sanders 42 to 24.

Clinton's lead in Democratic race grows, CNN/ORC poll shows. If Biden stays out of race, her numbers would rise more. http://t.co/3SO5rPyuG2

CNN / WMUR have produced yet another New Hampshire primary poll (again, full pdf below).  CNN Media apparently desperate to find some glimmer of hope, something, anything, to support the Vulgarian Trump being eliminated.
Alas, the gnashing of teeth commences, no such luck.  “Top Tears”  Donald Trump has gained 15 points since July; Carly Fiorina gained 11 pts, John Kasich gained 5, and both Marco Rubio and Ben Carson gained 3 ( <– whadda surge).

Jeb Bush leads the Biggest Losers with 9 points lost, followed by Rand Paul who is winning in reverse dropping 6.  Methinks that costly check to Kentucky for the super-special Rand Paul only primary may have been for naught.  I digress. (more…)

As if there was any remaining doubt about the RNC/GOPe road map.  Well here ya go.  Jeb Bush just hired Ray Sullivan who was previously working with Austin and Henry Barbour on Rick Perry’s campaign efforts.
The Barbours’ were the bag-men for Mitch McConnell and the NRSC hit team along with Brad Dayspring when they went after Chris McDaniel in Mississippi primary ’14 (racist attack ads, and paying Dems to vote in primary).  
In essence Jeb is aligning/confirming his scorched earth election intents, and shoring up the “splitter strategy” for Texas – presumably along with Rove.
(Via The Hill)  The Bush campaign has recruited Ray Sullivan, who ran the pro-Perry super-PAC network that raised more than $17 million, tapping a vein of Texas money that’s been waiting to be redirected since Perry quit the race on Sep. 11.
Sullivan’s recruitment, first reported by the Texas Tribune on Thursday, could give Bush supporters an even greater advantage than they already have in raising huge sums of money for the former Florida governor. The pro-Bush Right to Rise PAC set records when it raised more than $100 million before June 30. (more…)

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…)
