This interview is interesting in that Judge Jeanine spends a little time on the “why” question; asking candidate Trump why he’s running for the GOP nomination. For many people this is still a key question and Trump’s answers therein reflect he really does feel compelled; in part because he believes in America and doesn’t see that same level of belief represented in the professional political class.
Donald Trump’s view that ‘We The People’ are being restrained from producing our best; the spirit of America wanting to deliver and strive, is well explained within the interview.  Trump is very passionate about this aspect.

(HatTip Nation) This is so bad it almost has to be intentional.  The Jeb Bush campaign sends out a seriously flawed mailer noted here:

Obviously Donald Trump picks up on it:

Jeb Bush has a photoshopped photo for an ad which gives him a black left hand and much different looking body. Jeb just can't get it right!

IRONY – Hillary will cut short her $50,000/week rental vacation to reconnect with the middle class.   You can’t make this stuff up….

WASHINGTON – Hillary Clinton will cut short a lavish vacation in the Hamptons to continue campaigning as her poll numbers slide amid controversy.
The former secretary of state will visit Ohio and Minnesota next week, according to the New York Times.
She and her family planned to spend the last two weeks of August in a Hamptons vacation home that cost $50,000 per week.
Instead, Clinton will attempt to draw attention away from the scandal over her private email use by touting her plans to “reshuffle the deck” in favor of the middle class. (read more)

The RNC is the Republican National Committee – or, put another way, the entire construct of the professional Republican Establishment and those who derive benefit/affiliation from the entity therein, the business end.  (National, State and regional political entities; polling consultants, campaign consultants, committee employees, etc).  The RNC gets the politician elected to Washington DC.

The GOP, or GOP(e), is the financial class or group of financiers who pay the RNC and derive benefit from the policy creation within Washington DC.  Wall Street banks and banking interests, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, K-Street Lobbyists, etc. are all part of the machine that tells the politicians what to do.
In essence, the RNC is the Board of Directors, the GOP are the company officers, and the politicians are the employees.  John Boehner and Mitch McConnell are the managers. Put them all together and you have the RNC/GOPe.
In this example “We The People”, or “the electorate”, are the customers, forced to buy -through the monopoly- their product offerings, whatever they present, every 2 to 4 years.
Got it?  Good.  Now here we go: (more…)

Charles Krauthammer and George Will continue to showcase their insane alignment with the DC Machine writ large.  You might think of them as pundits, until you realize their punditry is expressed alignment with the policy positions of: John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee, Ben Carson, Scott Walker, Chris Christie, Marco Rubio, John Kasich, Rick Perry, Lindsey Graham, Rand Paul, George Pataki and Jim Gilmore.
Laura Ingraham scratches the surface on the “anchor baby” issue, but more directly frames the discussion around the larger picture of failed immigration enforcement which has led to the crisis.
We are in this ridiculous place because the ‘Beltway Betters‘ have failed to enforce existing law, failed to secure the border, failed to secure employment law and lied to the American people about their intents therein.
First Krauthammer:

Here’s George Will’s latest ‘high-horse’ nonsense: (more…)

Governor Rick Perry and Governor Jim Gilmore have begun their surge...
(Article Via NewsMax) Republican Donald Trump is pulling away from the pack in the race for the party’s U.S. presidential nomination, widening his lead over his closest rivals in the past week, a Reuters/Ipsos poll showed on Friday.

Republican voters show no signs they are growing weary of the brash real estate mogul, who has dominated political headlines and the 17-strong Republican presidential field with his tough talk about immigration and insults directed at his political rivals. The candidates are vying to be nominated to represent their party in the November 2016 general election. (more…)

The pep rally with GOP Presidential frontrunner Donald Trump is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. EDT which is 7 p.m. CDT local time. As CNN reports, the rally was originally set to take place at the 4,000 seat Civil Center, but was moved to the 43,000 seat Ladd-Peebles Stadium to encompass the expected high attendance. (link)

We have outlined the GOPe road map here, which includes the splitter strategy.  Super-PACs are critical to the success of the GOPe plans – explained HERE. Now today:

WASHINGTON DC –  It’s now or never for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. That appears to be the view of his wealthy super-PAC backers, who are spending fast and hard to keep Christie in contention for the Republican presidential nomination.
The pro-Christie super-PAC, America Leads, has already spent at least $2.1 million in a bid to gin up enthusiasm for the governor, who is lagging in the early polls of Republican primary voters.
Christie’s big-money donors are not alone. The trend of early and heavy super-PAC spending applies to other GOP candidates whose supporters are trying to get them on the debate stage and stop them from being weeded out of the race early. (more…)

The data for the Rasmussen Poll is HERE:

[…]   Rasmussen Reports intends to track Trump’s race for the White House in a weekly Friday feature we’re calling Trump Change.
Our latest national telephone survey finds that 57% of Likely Republican Voters now think Trump is likely to be the Republican presidential nominee next year, with 25% who say it’s Very Likely. That compares to 27% who felt a Trump nomination was likely two months ago when he formally announced his presidential bid, a finding that included just nine percent (9%) who said it was Very Likely.  (poll data)

(Via New York Post) Donald Trump is overcoming the perception that he won’t end up as the Republican presidential nominee, according to a poll issued Friday. (more…)
