People wondering why Donald Trump might be referencing some historical Clinton issues should refresh their memory on how vengeful Clinton staffers trashed the White House when Vice-President Al Gore lost to George W Bush in 2000.

When considering how the office of the presidency is regarded by the Clintons, a new generation of voters may not even know about Team Clinton:

♦  writing vulgar messages on the White House office walls, ♦ destroying furniture, ♦ slicing chair cushions, ♦ ripping phones out of walls, ♦ removing the historical door knobs, ♦ cutting all the electronic cabling ♦  stealing items (lots of stuff), ♦ switching around the fax machines and location addressed telephones, ♦ gluing desk drawers closed, ♦  carving into desk tops ♦ removing the “w” key from all the computer keyboards, ♦ spray painting the walls, and much worse.

It’s all outlined below in a 200+ page General Accounting Office (GAO) report: (more…)

The #NeverTrump team, specifically the punditry within it, are doing what the professionally republican clans do every time they lose.  They pout, gnash their teeth, stomp their feet and eventually carry off their football.
They are annoying insignificant gnats full of self-importance that can be cast into a pit of irrelevance.  These are the same voices who rejoiced when the were granted audience with President-elect Obama in 2008.
These are also the same insufferable small-minded dolts who stand up at CPAC and applaud House Speaker Omnibus Paul Ryan, while never even thinking about -let alone reconciling- the reality of the last federal budget being passed in 2007.

When was the last time this group assembled their efforts to protest congress spending the 2009 Stimulus year-after-year-after-year.   Have you ever even heard them mention it?  Did you know our treasury re-spends the trillion dollar ARRA stimulus every year?
Conservatives? Yeah, enough said.
Yes, this group it also includes the intellectually dishonest radio screamer and crony-constitutionalist professional book seller Mark Levin; along with the cheeto-faced religious sycophant and professionally hypocritical Glenn Beck; and we can’t leave out the infamous master of professionally obtuse gaslighting, Rush Limbaugh.
Thanks to Donald Trump, each of these voices are now left flailing wildly in a vain effort to retain their relevance while selling Super Beets.

Many people kept asking for an opinion on possibilities for a Trump VP, and/or discussion about a potential Trump VP.  We’ve  been very reluctant to even engage on the topic; and I still am.  There is an almost exponential myriad of qualifications and needs given the current status of the presidential contest.

Candidate Donald Trump has mentioned he would prefer to bring on a partner who is familiar with legislative constructs and pathways.  With little to go on, and accepting the choice will be intensely vetted by Donald Trump, here’s a gut sense about the “type of person” who might be considered.  Each has pros and cons: (more…)

After a stunning victory in Indiana candidate Donald Trump emerges as the presumptive republican nominee.   This morning Trump made the morning talk show circuit (four interviews):
MSNBC – Morning Joe:

And now, in addition to a looming defeat in Indiana, we find the source of the epic Ted Cruz public meltdown today.  A just released PPP poll (full pdf below) of West Virginia voters shows candidate Donald Trump absolutely CRUSHING Senator Cruz and Governor Kasich:

In addition to winning EVERY internal sub-set amid the polled West Virginia electorate, Donald Trump also wins independent voters with over 70% support.
As we’ve continually warned, stay out of the ‘splodey head blast radius.  These public GOPe meltdowns will be epic and specifically targeted to take down everyone around them.
(Via PPP Polling)  PPP’s new West Virginia poll finds it’s likely to just keep Donald Trump’s recent streak of dominant victories right on going. Trump leads in the state with 61% to 22% for Ted Cruz and 14% for John Kasich. Trump, with a 67/24 favorability rating, is the only candidate GOP voters in the state even like. Both Kasich (32/50) and Cruz (32/53) come in with negative favorability ratings. (more…)

(Via NBC) Forces supporting Ted Cruz and opposing Donald Trump spent more than $6 million on advertisements in Indiana, which holds its presidential primary on Tuesday, according to the latest ad-spending data from SMG Delta.

The Cruz campaign and outside groups backing him spent $3.3 million on ads in the state, while organizations opposed to Trump – including the conservative Club for Growth and Our Principles PAC – dished out an additional $2.8 million. (more)

The U.K Independent is reporting that a massive 800 page leak (sourced to Greenpeace activists) of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) may doom the ongoing negotiations.

Interestingly, the aspect that seems most troubling to Europe has nothing to do with actual economic trade, but rather insufficient climate change rules/regulations.

[…]  They indicate that the US is looking strongly to change regulation in Europe to lessen the protections on the environment, consumer rights and other positions that the EU affords to its citizens. Representatives for each side appear to have found that they have run into “irreconcilable” differences that could undermine the signing of the landmark and highly controversial trade deal, campaigners say.

Matt and Joe are auto mechanics in Indiana.  It appears both guys were interviewed by an MSNBC journalist who provided this picture.  Meet Matt and Joe:

We don’t know this Matt and Joe.  Then again, they look like just about every Matt and Joe that we do know…. and if that’s the case, perhaps they are supporting Donald Trump for a similar reason.
Because, you see, Donald Trump says: “Make America Great Again”!  And when Trump says that, and puts his heart behind his specific intent to deliver it, we hear:
Someone who gives a damn about America, without apology; which is more valuable than a perfected highly-rehearsed skill set of 30 second sound bites and white paper policy instructions.
From our perspective any average hard-working American could eat every one of these pinky-ring candidates’ lunches, all of them, including Ted Cruz; and if they find themselves wanting to go down the intellectual superiority path… you know, like walking across the street to start a debate,…. well, that stuff is useless.

The latest poll from Gravis of Indiana Republican Voters has candidate Donald Trump with a 17 point lead over second place Ted Cruz.
Indiana has been defined by the anti-Trump coalition as the fire-line, the last stand per se’, in their ongoing fight to stop Donald Trump from winning the republican presidential nomination.

However, with Trump taking a commanding polling lead in the Hosier State, the narrative from within the #NeverTrump crowd is now downplaying the importance of Indiana, and predictably reversing their previous assertions. (more…)
