It’s time to start flipping the opposition narratives onto their own candidates.

81% of Michigan republican voters do not support Ted Cruz; and 82% of Michigan republican voters do not support Marco Rubio.  Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio have almost identical “ceilings” at 19% and 18% respectively. (link)

See how that works?  It’s all in the presentation:

MICHIGAN – […]  If the Michigan GOP Presidential primary were held today, Trump would win with 29% of the vote compared to Cruz with 19% and Rubio right on his heals with 18%.  Ohio Governor John Kasich and neurosurgeon Ben Carson are currently polling at 8% each.  Eighteen percent are still undecided.

Bernie Porn, president of the Lansing polling firm that surveyed 400 likely Republican voters said, “Trump is well positioned to win Michigan on Tuesday, March 8, but Rubio is likely to overtake Cruz in Michigan.  Nevertheless, as it now stands, Trump is the odds on favorite to win the GOP nomination in Cleveland.” (more…)

A week ago we shared the discovery that Rubio’s antics have seriously damaged the electoral opinion of him.  Rubio’s polling suffered as a direct consequence.  Yesterday the polling became a reality when despite the earnest state party efforts Marco Rubio placed third or worse in 9 of the 11 Super Tuesday contests.

In this video Dennis Miller, a former Rubio supporter, is giving voice to the reasons behind the current Rubio problems:

However, it doesn’t really matter much in the grand scheme of things because Rubio was never intended to be the GOPe standard-bearer. He’s an RNC company man, now doing RNC company business.

Rubio’s own election is not the goal here…. never was.  If it were, he’d never have agreed to act like the Republican frat boy.  He’s simply on a one-way suicide mission hoping to gain position and be standing next to Donald Trump when he detonates his vest.

Fox News’ primary agenda driver, Rupert Murdoch, was conspicuously absent from commentary following the last GOP debate, staged cage fight. It was the only debate where Murdoch did not announce Marco Rubio the winner.

A few days later the New York Times embarrassed Fox News by revealing the corporate media agenda, including secret meetings with DC politicians and media, to advance Marco Rubio’s gang-of-eight proposals and benefit their ideological immigration agenda (outlined below).

Both owner Rupert Murdoch and Fox executive President Roger Ailes have been positioning the network to do as much damage to Rubio’s opponent Donald Trump as possible for the past 8 months. Fox News political executive director, Bill Sammons, is the father of Marco Rubio’s national spokesperson, Brooke Sammon. The agenda has been transparent from the outset.

However, today a report surfaces where Roger Ailes is reportedly reconsidering the media conglomerate’s position.

[…] According to three Fox sources, Fox chief Roger Ailes has told people he’s lost confidence in Rubio’s ability to win (link).

NOT SO FAST – The timing, just hours before the network broadcasts yet another attack debate favorable to Rubio, reeks of a corporate entity trying to position themselves with plausible deniability; and isolate themselves from the growing backlash of an audience who have woken up to the manipulative intents of the network.

The election results are linked and discussed HERE, so we’re not going to go into depth and repeat the information other than to pull out some results to showcase the next phases.  Overall it was a good night for Donald Trump with seven state wins.

(Delegate Count Link) However, that’s done.  The more important aspects are: A.) what those results mean and B.) what comes next.

To grasp the meaning we must first remind and reinforce the basic structure of this election because everything is dependent on predicting the future by understanding the past; that means understanding the origin and intents of the GOPe design.

Always remember the various influencers of the next steps are the big money, Wall Street, financiers.  The Vested Interests. They direct legislative priorities, they are the ones with the real agenda which underpins the maneuvering of the GOPe, the Democrat party, and the DC power-brokers who are charged with maintaining the ultimate position of the stakeholders.

We must continually reset our paradigms away from the espoused political media and punditry narratives which are fed by those who coordinate the DC power constructs, ie. congressional and party leadership.  (more…)

This is a Mid-Day Open Discussion Thread to share ground reports of the election today.

If you are in a “Super Tuesday state” how are things looking?  What’s the local media saying?  Any word on early turnout yet?

Again, Open Discussion –   What’s going on out there?
