Hold on to your bootstraps, and pay attention to the Sword of Damocles – The 2016 Presidential race is playing out exactly as predicted.  It has to, because once you understand the interests – their activity becomes transparent.

So let’s get back up to 30,000 feet and take a look at today’s BIG PICTURE.

Against the backdrop of an increasingly influential Donald Trump campaign -which is deconstructing the GOPe roadmap for Jeb Bush- and as a direct consequence of the financiers losing control of one side of their RNC/DNC political coin, the Wall Street interests are now focusing on/clamoring for – control over of the DNC side.

Team Clinton know this….  And as a direct consequence Bill Clinton and Lanny Davis Inc, via Hillary Clinton, radically change campaign direction in an attempt to stop the financial interests and political interests from throwing full support toward Joe Biden.
Remember, the absolute mega-FLARE tripwire to solidify Donald Trump being viewed as the unstoppable force is: the removal of candidate Hillary Clinton from the race.  All of the power brokers will never allow a Trump -VS- Clinton match-up because they know the broad messaging of Donald Trump would destroy any hope for a Hillary victory.
Wall Street Inc. originally planned for Clinton VS Bush, their win/win.  However, if they cannot have Bush –because Trump defeats their GOPe roadmap– they cannot palate the risk inherent in meager hopes of Clinton.
The political powers that respond to the needs of the financiers have worked earnestly to get rid of Trump, and keep Hillary above water.  They are failing on both fronts. (more…)

This is something many here have been pointing out since day one.  No other candidate has the polling support identified within both party-bases like Donald Trump.  We discussed this at length in the earlier outlines.
Trump’s straightforward America First candidacy pulls in all races, all genders, all income levels and excels with high-information political followers across all educational spectrums.  He also pulls from all demographics and all income levels.
More evidence and discussion of this phenomenon surfaces again today.

(Via Washington Examiner) – “I’m voting for Donald Trump,” said Democrat central Texas resident, Nellie Deffern,” and it’s the first time in my life I’ve ever been excited about an election.” According to an article published Saturday by Breitbart, Deffern and her husband aren’t the only unlikely voters who are embracing Trump’s “Make America Great Again,” narrative.

Is it possible that Donald Trump may end up being the most unlikely “Great Uniter” America has ever considered? Everything Trump is saying flies in the face of the carefully planned Republican strategy to win in 2016 causing Breitbart columnist, Neil Munroe, to describe the Survey USA poll as “a heart attack for the GOP establishment.” (more…)

If you can’t dazzle em’ with brilliance, baffle em’ with b– s— !

Reuters is declaring today that Hillary Clinton is proposing a new platform plank, ‘campaign finance reform‘, to rescue her increasingly flailing candidacy.
However, as much as I detest writing about Clinton, this proposal is so fraught with nonsense it deserves to be highlighted.

Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton will propose a slate of campaign finance reform measures on Tuesday aimed at limiting political donations by corporations and large donors and increasing transparency in election spending.
Clinton, who is seeking the nomination to be the Democratic candidate in the November 2016 presidential election, identified measures she would pursue if she becomes president.

A few days ago I took the time to read your expressed concerns about the support you see for Donald Trump and the state of current conservative opinion.  Toward that end I have also noted additional media present a similar argument, and I took the time to consider.
While we are of far lesser significance and influence, I hope you will consider this retort with the same level of consideration afforded toward your position.
The challenging aspect to your expressed opinion, and perhaps why there is a chasm between us, is you appear to stand in defense of a Washington DC conservatism that no longer exists.
I hope you will indulge these considerations and correct me where I’m wrong.
On December 23rd 2009 Harry Reid passed a version of Obamacare through forced vote at 1:30am.  The Senators could not leave, and for the two weeks previous were kept in a prolonged legislative session barred returning to their home-state constituencies.  It was, by all measures and reality, a vicious display of forced ideological manipulation of the upper chamber.  I share this reminder only to set the stage for what was to follow.
Riddled with anxiety we watched the Machiavellian manipulations unfold, seemingly unable to stop the visible usurpation.   Desperate for a tool to stop the construct we found Scott Brown and rallied to deliver $7 million in funding, and a “Kennedy Seat” victory on January 19th 2010. (more…)

With favorables improving, unfavorables decreasing and two-thirds of the electorate now believing Trump can win the nomination, the latest YouGov National Poll shows Donald Trump dominating the rest of the field.

This is the eighth consecutive regional and national poll with Jeb Bush in single digits; a devastating reality for the RNC/GOPe machine.
The debate this week will be their final opportunity to save Jeb – the pressure is astronomical, and you can guarantee Fiorina and Rubio will be called upon to deliver the goods and take out Trump.
Donald Trump, on the other hand, doesn’t even need the debate.  Full poll results below: (more…)

As a general matter we tend to focus most of our research toward the machinations on the other side of the coin, the RNC/GOPe side.  However, for Bernie Sanders supporters there is some commonality.

Did you notice that ever since Hillary Clinton’s worsening poll numbers the Wall Street financiers, who control the optics of mainstream media presentations, are now refusing to show head-to-head match-ups between Hillary and Bernie Sanders?
In every poll now (see below for yet another example) the media polling company includes Joe Biden as a possible candidate.  This is not accidental, it’s actually by design.  By adding Joe Biden the MSM can water down the Bernie support optic (he’s crushing her) and make it seem ‘as if’ Hillary has better polling than reality provides.

Shorter Version: “Nice campaign you’ve got there Mr. Trump, it’d be a shame if something happened to it“…

Voices From the Heart, a “Women’s Alternative Chorus,” put on a show at a Hillary Clinton rally this morning and decided to replace the the word Jesus with Hillary.  “Woke Up this Morning With My Mind On Jesus” is an old Gospel song.

The overall problem for the GOPe is reflected in this poll release from New Hampshire.

Jeb Bush took the “day off” from campaigning on September 2nd (ie. political code-speak for Bush met with campaign team to assess damage and strategy session). He was spotted that night (in Philly) headed to New Hampshire – We anticipated the reasoning:

FYI – Jeb back in New Hampshire tonight, amid new polling showing John Kasich has surged beyond Bush in support !! https://t.co/EpYQcITnvj

When you follow the nuance, you can predict the “public polls” in advance, by paying attention to the activity of the candidates. (more…)

In New Hampshire – Among those in the current Democrat presidential race, Bernie Sanders is blowing Hillary Clinton out of the water 49-38, an 11 point lead.  In addition 58% of New Hampshire residents have an unfavorable opinion of Hillary Clinton.


However, the media, in an effort to deflect the Clinton harm visible in this devastating poll, are only discussing the poll result that includes Joe Biden which shortens the loss to a 9 point spread.  Full poll pdf below: (more…)
