When no-one was paying attention a road map was created to elect Jeb Bush – LEARN MORE HERE –  “Tripwires”:

♦ This is why the RNC/GOPe machine hid their changes to campaign finance inside the December 2014 Continuing Resolution (CROmnibus) budget bill when no-one was paying attention.

♦ This is also why the RNC/GOPe machine changed the rules of the primary calender, when no-one was paying attention.  “States holding their primaries between March 1 and March 14 will have their delegates doled out proportionately with election results, a change that will likely stymie a movement candidate. States that have primaries on or after March 15 will be winner-take-all states”. (link)

♦ Another RNC rule change requires that a candidate must win a majority of delegates in eight or more states before his or her name may be presented for nomination at the 2016 Republican National Convention. (link)

♦ This is why the RNC/GOPe machine constructed Super-PACs to prop up unelectable, but necessary, candidates.  This is why we have 18 candidates, 11 of which are fully controlled by the GOPe apparatus.

We watched, tracked, and researched them as they constructed the scheme. We have spent a great deal of time, effort, and energy to get a deep in the weeds understanding what they were putting together.  Then we began trying to find a way to:

#1) Expose this road map (election scheme).
#2) Find a way to defeat it.

It is critical to remember. (more…)

Steyn discusses the insufferable nonsense of Republicans claiming that Donald Trump’s border security and immigration proposal is “not workable”. Gives examples to deconstruct the nonsense. Video prompted to @1:15 (Good Watch)

Beyond the previous examples of DC’s chattering class punditry: George Will, Charles Krauthammer, Stephen Hayes, Dana Perino, Charles Lane, Bill Kristol et al, and their on-air splodey head moments -which are continuing with the speed of an interstate covered in bubble wrap- we now have the paid GOP consultant class joining them.

GOP political consultant Rick Wilson has been in a highly visible war of words with Breitbart.com over the website’s editorial support for GOP candidate Donald Trump.
Wilson said on CNN that approximately 25% of Republicans were “low information voters”, a disparaging statement in line with the recent proclamations of FOX’s George Will.   Breitbart.Com along with a few other conservative sites, wrote a response suggesting that antagonizing such voters is not how the GOP would win elections.

3 Sources say an effort was made to wipe Clinton's hard drive. FBI is optimistic it can recover some data. -@REspositoNBC @PeteWilliamsNBC

As unbelievable as this seems apparently Hillary Clinton was not prepared for the most transparently obvious question that would be asked?

(Via NBC) The FBI may be able to recover at least some data from Hillary Clinton’s private email server even though there was an attempt to wipe it, two sources with direct knowledge of the process told NBC News on Tuesday. (more…)

In as much as the latest CNN-ORC Poll reflects the same overall national trend of support, Trump the biggest winner, it also reflects a profoundly changing landscape for Jeb Bush as the biggest loser.  Jeb Bush sinks to 35/57 favorable rating among registered voters in the poll.

Donald Trump has proposed an ambitious plan to protect the Southern U.S. border, and deal with the illegal alien crisis. One of the attack approaches of the plan’s detractors is to state there’s no visible payment mechanism. Let’s look at one aspect.

On Page #3 the plan outlines:

Triple the number of ICE officers.
As the President of the ICE Officers’ Council explained in Congressional testimony: “Only approximately 5,000 officers and agents within ICE perform the lion’s share of ICE’s immigration mission…Compare that to the Los Angeles Police Department at approximately 10,000 officers. Approximately 5,000 officers in ICE cover 50 states, Puerto Rico and Guam, and are attempting to enforce immigration law against 11 million illegal aliens already in the interior of the United States. Since 9-11, the U.S. Border Patrol has tripled in size, while ICE’s immigration enforcement arm, Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), has remained at relatively the same size.” This will be funded by accepting the recommendation of the Inspector General for Tax Administration and eliminating tax credit payments to illegal immigrants.  (link)

Putting aside the IG tax credit payment funding mechanism for a moment; a recent study by the Border Patrol (DHS) Inspector General, the issue of wasted money on the Border Drone program was highlighted. (more…)

Sweet Mother of Hades this is getting beyond absurd.  Another entire media cycle consisting of completely manufactured nonsense projecting their determination of ‘what is’ against the reality of ‘what isn’t’….

Having watched an entire media cycle of punditry pontificate about Donald Trump proposing to deport “by force” 11 to 42 million illegal aliens we find ourselves shaking our heads at how little the MSM think of the viewing audience.
NO-WHERE in Donald Trump’s proposal does he say, or advocate for, the mass “rounding up and subsequent deportation” of millions of illegal aliens.   He never said it, he never proposed it, and it doesn’t exist in his presented Border Solution and Illegal Alien proposal.
It just doesn’t exist, yet the media claim it to be so…. (more…)

They’ve thrown all the traditional ‘dismissal’ plays at him, with no effect.
Perhaps specifically because he holds the ‘nothing-to-lose‘ card much more firmly than those they have opposed in the past.
Or perhaps because the electorate is aware of the Alinsky tactics more than ever. Regardless of reason -as Bill Maher says- he’s like Godzilla:

“Everything they throw at him only makes him stronger”.

You can be assured as you read this there are decades of anger, vitriol and opposition being set aside by Democrat and Republican leadership to come together and find a way to destroy Donald Trump’s advancement upon their power structure.
Opposition researchers digging and diving for anything they can bring to the penthouse suites for collaborative meetings between formerly divergent adversaries.  The players all know the risk, Donald Trump must be stopped at all costs. (more…)

Donald Trump represents a risk to the establishment power brokers who control DC, the country club republicans are in full meltdown.  The Republicans would rather lose the White House and retain their power than deal with The Donald and lose it.

(Via Breitbart) Bloomberg Politics Managing Editor Mark Halperin stated that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has “reached a turning point” where the “establishment candidates” think he can win Iowa, “most” believe he can win the nomination, and “a significant number think he could win the White House” on Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” (more)
