One of the benefits to candidate Donald Trump running for the 2016 GOP nomination is everyone finding out where EVERY GOP official stands. 

It is  not coincidental that every one of Trump’s detractors support:  • Obamacare, • Full Comprehensive Immigration Reform to Include Amnesty, • Common Core Federal Education Standards, and the • TPP Trade Deal.  These four items are all U.S. Chamber of Commerce (Wall Street) interests. 

As long as the GOP (professional political class) is beholden to, and advocating entirely because of, the U.S. CoC.  Only progressive policies will pass congress; those policies are antithetical to main street, jobs and the middle class. 

That’s why the GOP/McConnell/Boehner/CoC/Wall Street/Donohue et al, need to destroy Trump. 

(Via CBS) Arizona’s top Republicans are snubbing Donald Trump as he prepares to bring his surging GOP presidential campaign and brash talk on immigration to Phoenix.

U.S. Sens. John McCain and Jeff Flake and Gov. Doug Ducey will not attend the Saturday event — now set for the Phoenix Convention Center — hosted by the Republican Party of Maricopa County and featuring Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. (more…)

This is a good video to see a more relaxed candidate Trump without the confrontational tone generally inherent in national punditry broadcast.   Trump covers a lot of material within the questions, and you can see how he is able to communicate comfortably.

One of the aspects I took away from watching this was a stronger belief he really is in this race to win.  This is not Trump promoting Trump; this is Trump conveying he really does want to do this specifically to make America Great Again.

The Bush team is ultimately concerned that the electorate will connect the dots. The GOP establishment candidate is – The Chamber of Commerce candidate – is the Tom Donohue candidate – is the Wall Street Candidate.   (And therein lies the heart of the Mexico affiliation between Jeb Bush and Billionaire Carlos Slim)

Bottom Line: Jeb is Wall Street, Trump is Main Street.

Charlie Gasparino – Jeb Bush apparently doesn’t want people to know that he worked at Lehman Brothers, the now-defunct investment bank whose collapse led to the broader financial meltdown in 2008.

That’s the only conclusion I can come to after receiving a series of occasionally bizarre emails from his press people to what I thought was a fairly simple question about Bush’s work before he became a Republican presidential candidate. (more…)

An expansive YouGov poll conducted July 4th-6th shows Donald Trump with a significant lead over Jeb Bush in the first national presidential poll released since Trump announced his presidency.

It’s an exhaustive and inclusive 102 page poll – run frequently by the economist that covers a variety of issues, topics and public insight concerns.   One of the other interesting notations within the poll is the “primary concern” for party voters when selecting a candidate.  For identified Republicans the economy is the #1 issue.  For identified Democrats the sustainability of Social Security is #1.  (more…)

Anticipate all national polls showing the same result. However, due to Media and GOP aversion to Trump, anticipate paid political polling silence (if possible) until the last minute for debate #1 lineup.  PPP’s newest (independent) North Carolina poll finds that Donald Trump’s momentum just keeps on building. He’s the top choice of Republican primary voters in the state:

♦ Donald Trump 16%
♦ Jeb Bush 12%  (CoC Supported √ )
♦ Scott Walker 12% (CoC Unknown yet possible)
♦ Mike Huckabee 11%  ( Foster Friess √ )
♦ Ben Carson 9%  (Sheldon Adelson √ )
♦ Marco Rubio 9% (CoC Supported √ )
♦ Rand Paul 7%
♦ Ted Cruz 6% (CoC Unknown yet probable)
♦ Chris Christie 5% (CoC Supported √ )
♦ Carly Fiorina 4% (CoC Unknown yet probable)
♦ Rick Perry 2% (CoC Supported √ )

1% each for Lindsey Graham, Bobby Jindal, and Rick Santorum, and less than 1% each for John Kasich and George Pataki.

Candidate Trump is also leading the field amid young NC voters (by a mile), and men.

It is important to determine, research and note the CoC (U.S. Chamber of Commerce)  support because it’s the only TRUE method to keep track of the Jeb Bush strategy. (more…)

~ The Benghazi Brief ~

There are a few select moments in broadcast TV when the production content highlights a very distinct reality – and simultaneously informs the viewership on the absurd construct of political dynamics.  Last night Sean Hannity did just that.

Former Texas Governor Rick Perry has been blasting 2016 GOP candidate Donald Trump over Trump’s remarks about illegal alien criminals.   Perry’s criticism has aided the liberal media’s efforts to isolate, ridicule and marginalize Trump.

However, using Rick Perry’s own Texas border reality, and showing the criminal statistics inherent from Perry’s own team, Hannity shows how Donald Trump is right, and Perry is just playing politics.  It was one of the best constructed segments Hannity has ever broadcast.

The segment begins at 03:35 and runs through 08:12.  The most substantial moment comes at 05:35.  Watch:

Texas Alone: (2008 through 2014) 642,000+ criminal convictions; 8,000+ sexual assaults; all from illegal alien criminals.  Game, Set, Match – Donald Trump was right!

Donald Trump responds to the media created faux-controversy about NASCAR and ESPN backing away from prior commitments with his business, in a manner that only The Donald can deliver.  (source):

“The disassociation of ESPN and NASCAR with the Trump Organization was covered by the press in headlines all over the world as though it was a major setback for me. Really? What were the losses?

One NASCAR banquet in a magnificent ballroom at Trump National Doral in Miami for which I will keep their very substantial deposit and rent the ballroom to someone else that night––in other words, two fees instead of one (NASCAR has already apologized to me)!
