The GOPe Road Map is contingent upon all 10 candidates that are part of Team Jeb remaining in the race until various points within the primary.   Nine of the candidates are party insiders recruited to act as early primary state splitters (Gilmore -VA, Pataki -NY, Graham -SC, Perry -TX, Kasich -OH, Rubio -FL, Huckabee -AR, Fiorina and Christie).

This allows the Road Map to succeed with 15 to 20% support for Jeb – depending on primary state location.  However, when the plan was constructed it’s obvious they never anticipated a Donald Trump candidacy.
The original plan was created to defeat Ted Cruz, Rand Paul and Scott Walker (Donald Trump was never factored into the strategy).  Current polling shows their strategy would be factually successful were it not for Donald Trump. (more…)

(Via NBC) Donald Trump handily won the straw poll at the National Federal of Republican Assemblies event in Nashville, Tennessee, on Saturday, becoming both the first and second top pick among conservatives here after delivering another boisterous speech.
“I don’t want it to be about me. This is about common sense,” Trump said, even as he extolled his surging numbers. “Normally I wouldn’t say this, but I need your frickin’ votes!” he exclaimed at another point.
A few hours after addressing a cheering crowd of about 800, Trump was declared the first choice Republican presidential candidate with 52% of the vote, as well as the top pick for attendees’ second choice, with 26%. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and former neurosurgeon Ben Carson were the second and third choices, respectively, in the NFRA straw poll for first and second-choice candidates. (more…)

This is way beyond priceless, seriously.   Even entrenched die-hard democrats will admit this regular speak and delivery is funny.  Often good natured humor can be used as a weapon (Ronald Reagan was the absolute master of that), and in this instance Trump hits it right out of the ballpark.  Funny stuff:

This approach will do more damage to Hillary Clinton -as a presidential candidate- than a thousand congressional investigations. Candidate Trump knows that too. (more…)

A stunning new Iowa caucus poll holds some very interesting information.  Bernie Sanders (30%) has closed in on Hillary (37%).  Donald Trump leads republicans with 23%, Carson comes in 2nd with 18%, and Jeb Bush drops to 6%.
Additionally interesting, is the increasingly obvious lack of interest in any of the GOPe splitter group (Rubio, Kasich, Fiorina, Huckabee, Christie, Graham, Pataki, Perry and Gilmore).  The media seem to completely overlook the splitter group doesn’t even try to compete.

This is an open request for an investigative MSM reporter to engage in some fact finding. I believe you will find the biggest story of the campaign season within Jeb’s campaign finance manipulation – if you do a little ground work. ~ /SD

A recent article highlights how Jeb Bush top Florida “campaign fundraisers” have quit the campaign.  However, the focus remains on financing any possible success from Wall Street Super-PACs.  What does this mean?
It means a few things.  Importantly, it means Donald Trump’s strategic approach against the GOPe Road Map is winning.

Three top Jeb Bush fundraisers abruptly parted ways with his presidential campaign on Friday, amid internal personality conflicts and questions about the strength of his candidacy, POLITICO has learned.
There are different versions of what transpired. The Florida-based fundraising consultants — Kris Money, Trey McCarley, and Debbie Aleksander — have said that they voluntarily quit the campaign and were still working with Bush’s super PAC, Right to Rise Super PAC. Others said the three, who worked under the same contract, were let go because they were no longer needed for the current phase of the campaign.  (link)

Notice CAREFULLY these three have quit the “campaign finance”, but still work on the “Super-PAC finance” angle. (more…)

RUSH LIMBAUGH TRANSCRIPT […] This is amazing, because it’s their business to know this! It is striking to me how it is that so many of these people in high executive positions in both parties — in the consultancy of both parties, in the media — do not understand the relationship that Trump and his audience, supporters, what have you, have with him.
Either they are purposely ignoring it, being stubborn or they know it and don’t want to admit it because they’re jealous. But the idea that they don’t understand that Jorge Ramos…?
To everybody who watched that press conference, Jorge Ramos was the villain. Jorge Ramos was the bad guy, and Trump was the biggest hero that these people have seen in a long time because they have desired to see somebody stand up and fire back at a journalist who’s being unfair, on purpose — who has an ulterior motive, on purpose. And rather than stand there politely and deal with it, Trump tells the guy to get the hell out of the room, wait his turn, and come back. (more…)

Democrat Presidential candidate Martin O’Malley has been openly critical of the DNC decision to protect Hillary Clinton by limiting presidential debates.  Last night he delivered a speech to the Democrat Party apparatus and pointed out the inherent hypocrisy behind the party position.
At the end of the speech, DNC head Debbie Wasserman Schultz was visibly annoyed:

The press conference was good. The aspects of Jeb Bush and Eric Cantor endorsement well placed. The pressure upon Wall Street (Hedge Fund Super-PACs) continues; this is specifically to retain pressure on Jeb’s RNC/GOPe financiers, and smart strategy:
