The numbers for Jeb Bush in Alabama (5%) reflect a continual downward trend.  The collective polling of all the GOPe candidates (14%) is not even close to Donald Trump.  GRAVIS POLL LINK HERE

(Via Daily Caller)  Front-runner Donald Trump has surged to a nearly 40 percent lead in the latest Alabama Republican primary poll. (more…)

Dear Mr. Trump, look, we’re not smart – we just know the game, we’ve studied it for years.  As such we are able to predict the moves of the players before they visibly display them.

Politics is an industry, a business – an old business; and like all industries there are leaders within that industry who are more influential than others.   Those leaders or industry directors follow the same playbook whenever their grip on political power is threatened.
Right now the directive is to gather information to use against the vulgarian insurgency. In politic-speak it’s called “opposition research”.  Part of the needed data is to collect “soundbites” that can be used to attack the insurgency in the field of public media consumption.
We already know the Jeb Bush Super-PACs are planning to deluge the electorate with anti-Trump messaging within the next several weeks.  Candidate Donald Trump has forewarned his supporters of the impending storm.   However, if we are going to cut it down to brass tacks, it must be accepted the RNC is part of the apparatus that benefits from the removal of Trump.

A new Monmouth University Poll (valid poll for debate determinations) shows Donald Trump crushing Jeb Bush and the GOPe splitter field. The central part of the RNC/GOPe evaluative risk is identified in the following Monmouth Poll paragraph:

[…]  “None of the establishment candidates is having any success in getting an anti-Trump vote to coalesce around them. In fact, any attempt to take on Trump directly only seems to make him stronger.” (link)

Look closely at the collective polling within the GOPe “splitter crew”:

It’s important for political observers to remember that for every poll you see there are dozens of “internal polls”, paid for by the party apparatus and campaigns, that you don’t see.
Many of those are micro-polls on key states, and district-by-district level match-ups. It’s the internals that drive the behavior we later witness from the visible participants in the RNC/GOPe apparatus.  It’s those internals that proactively took Reince Priebus to New York today. (more…)

Hired by election and fully supported by her community, county clerk Kim Davis is handcuffed and jailed by a U.S. Marshall and federal judge.  Note that Davis is afforded no religious accommodation by the same federal government which mandates -by law- religious accommodation within the private sector for all employees.
And the social justice warrior crowd is gleeful…..

Well this wouldn’t look good in advance of Hillary’s own testimony.  Nothing sketchy here.  Move along, move along….
(via Daily Caller) The State Department IT worker who managed Hillary Clinton’s private email server while she was secretary of state will plead the Fifth Amendment if called to testify about his work on the Democratic presidential candidate’s mysterious email setup, his attorney informed the House Select Committee on Benghazi this week.
The committee subpoenaed Bryan Pagliano on Aug. 11, according to The Washington Post. In addition to testifying on Sept. 10, committee chairman Trey Gowdy asked Pagliano to produce documents related to the servers he managed on behalf of Clinton.
Pagliano worked on Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign before moving over to the State Department in May 2009, several months after Clinton took office. He left the agency at the same time as Clinton, in Feb. 2013. (more…)

On August 6th in front of a national audience Donald Trump refused to pledge support for any GOP candidate, and refused to pledge he would not run an independent campaign. In my opinion it was the most publicly brave political act witnessed in the last two decades.

It takes remarkable courage and commitment to principle to stand on the national stage and be the only person to raise your hand.  It would have been easier, more politically favorable, and essentially irrelevant in the long term, for Trump to make the pledge.  But he didn’t, he took the path of principle.  For many, myself included, that moment won Donald Trump the debate.
However, there is now an establishment movement within the GOP to force Republican candidates to sign a loyalty oath.  A report surfaces today that RNC Chair Reince Priebus is meeting with Donald Trump tomorrow at 2pm in New York.  The presumption is that Donald will be asked to take this pledge: (more…)

The MSM no longer even tries to hide their bias when polled results in average America don’t match their narratives.  Turn up the dials – increase the gaslighting.

Two days ago Investors Business Daily published an extensive poll showing 59% of Americans favored forced deportation if needed in order to gain control of illegal immigration.

The latest IBD/TIPP Poll asked 913 adults coast to coast if they “support or oppose mandatory deportation of illegal immigrants in the U.S.” Not surprisingly, 87% of Trump supporters back the proposal.
What’s surprising is that 59% of the overall public does as well. Mandatory deportation gets majority support in all age groups except 18-24, every income group, among both women and men, at every level of educational achievement, and in rural, urban and suburban regions.
More interesting still is the fact that 64% of independents and 55% of moderates support deportation.  (link)

The media went out of their way to ignore the data; it just doesn’t fit the narrative. Quick turn the story around with terra-joules of gaslighting.   (more…)

In the unlikely event you can’t hear the sound of the Rhinoceros marching on bubble wrap directly behind you, it might be worth while getting a firmer grip on both your ankles:

[…]  “The Senate Democrats have a big enough number to prevent us from doing things. They prevented us from doing any of the bills that appropriate money for the government, thereby forcing a negotiation when we go back in after Labor Day, which I’ll be engaged in with the administration and others to try to sort out how much we’re going to spend and where we’re going to spend it.”  ~ Mitch McConnell

Yes, that’s Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell, giving a preview of his “budget plan strategy”.
If you find yourself pausing, well, prior to having the jackbooted foot of a $4 trillion spending proposal rammed into your psyche, and asking yourself why the “Senate” leader and not the House Leader is making such proclamations – you might still be stuck in the old School-House-Rock paradigm of thinking that budgety stuff is actually constructed in the House of Representatives.  (more…)

This is a very good interview. Within this interview you can see and hear the authenticity of the candidate. Perhaps one of the best interviews Trump has ever given.
