Donald Trump, Raphael “Ted” Cruz, Hillary Clinton and John Kasich will all appear on a live CNN presidential forum next Monday evening.  Bernie Sanders will also appear via a remote feed from the campaign trail.

CNN is hosting a three-hour candidate forum with Anderson Cooper and Wolf Blitzer in Washington DC.   Each candidate interview will be conducted separately, so they will not be debating each other.  All of them, sans Sanders, are in town for the pro-Israel AIPAC conference.

The event appears to be a rather significant ratings victory for CNN because Fox News tried to host a GOP presidential debate but failed miserably due to poor timing overlap with the AIPAC conference and planned speeches.   Donald Trump declined the Fox debate due to scheduling conflict with AIPAC and in turn Kasich backed away in response to Trump’s decision.

This forum event by CNN is a rather large poke in the eye to their competitor Fox News.

This Means: WE ARE WINNING !!

Mitt Romney delivers the ultimate endorsement for Senator Ted Cruz via a Facebook post today where he announces his intent to vote for Cruz in the election next week.

The globalists within the corrupted UniParty are now in full panic mode because all previous attempts to destroy Donald Trump have failed.  Both sides of the infected political body view candidate Trump as an existential threat to their ability to continue carrying out the objectives of the financial elites who construct legislative priorities.

The political extortion racket is at risk.  Legislative “Toll Booths” may be lost.

Specifically because candidate Donald Trump refutes their money and the accompanying agenda, the various usurping agents on both sides of the UniParty are trying desperately to stop him, and remain in power.  Wall Street, K-Street and the corrupt political officials they purchase are now desperate to stop Trump.  (more…)

(Via Reuters) The most-wanted fugitive from November’s Paris attacks was arrested after a shootout with police in Brussels on Friday, the Belgian federal prosecutor’s office said.

Local media reported that Salah Abdeslam, the 26-year-old French suspect, was wounded in the operation as EU leaders met on the other side of the city to discuss Europe’s migration crisis.

Television footage showed armed security forces dragging a man with a sack on his head out of a building and into a car.

“We got him,” Belgium’s Secretary of State for Asylum and Migration, Theo Francken, said on Twitter. (more…)

Emerson College releases a poll today of New York voters (pdf article here).  As a generally intelligent person might expect, candidate Donald Trump crushes second place Ted Cruz by 52 points.  Trump earns 64% support, Cruz 12%, Kasich barely 1%.

Unfortunately Emerson downloaded the wrong pdf file (they repeated TX) – so the internals are not yet visible.  However, you can find the video outline HERE and you can see the pdf version of the poll data “Toplines” HERE

You know how severely the echo-chamber in Washington DC is insulated when even Steve Schmidt-for-brains can see the pending tsunami and yet describe how the professional political class just don’t get it.

The smug, disconnected, pontificating Ryan-Pelosi-McConnell-Reid rulers just can’t bring themselves to look out the window, toward the horizon, and accept the heated caldrons of tar and feathers being assembled.  They are so certain of their own entitlements, they keep themselves surrounded by sycophantic deniers ensure they will never have to accept the unacceptable.

It is always a good day for the vulgarian rebel alliance when Terry O’Sullivan, Andy Stern and Richard Trumka begin having ‘splodey heads because the republican candidate has more appeal than the Democrat they are organizationally funding.

WOLVERINES !

The inconvenient headline at the Huffington Post anxiously decries:  “Donald Trump’s Working-Class Appeal Is Starting To Freak Out Labor Unions“….  Oh my, the humanity.

“He starts with a different profile than George Bush or Mitt Romney. He is the first Republican in a while that has real appeal. I don’t think people looked at Mitt Romney and said, ‘He’s going to fight for me.’” – Andy Stern (former President SEIU)

Yes, the intellectually honest, and economically patriotic, union rank-and-file find more optimism within the candidacy of the Blue Collar Billionaire who has a proven track record of actually delivering positive results for union workers including jobs, wages and contracts which pay their mortgages, car payments and kid’s college tuitions.

Go figure! (sarc). (more…)

In addition to the intense disinformation campaign from corporate media, the disinfecting sunlight from visible alliances is now exposing the entire DC-based UniParty political apparatus.

As apoplectic Paul Ryan supporting ‘conservatives’ gathered today to discuss how to protect the right side penthouse suites of the UniParty, the left-side residents have agreed to support the unified endeavors.

Erick Erickson, famous for his “Jeb Bush is the most conservative governor in history” comment, leads the charge to support Cruz from the right-wing punditry of the UniParty apologists.   The insufferable idiocy of the Erickson wing is best highlighted by reviewing the words in their collective statement as presented after their meeting:

[…]  we intend to keep our options open as to other avenues to oppose Donald Trump.  Our multiple decades of work in the conservative movement for free markets, limited government, national defense, religious liberty, life, and marriage are about ideas, not necessarily parties. (link)

Well, there you have it.  Decades of work for free markets, limited government, etc.  In the proverbial words of Dr. Phil: “How’s that been working out for ya“?  Because it’s been hell on everyone else.

Let me begin by saying I am convinced candidate Donald Trump will get the 1,237 delegates he needs, so this outline could be just an intellectual exercise.  However, last night on Sean Hannity RNC Chairman Reince Priebus discussed the delegate math and state of the GOP race headed toward the presidential nomination.

RNC Chairman Preibus and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan are best friends having grown up in the same town in Wisconsin and attending High School together.  Please focus your  attention to the specific wording he uses @05:34.  Close attention:

[…] “And you want people to at least say, when they walk away, OK they played it straight; that’s what’s really important in this process”…

We pointed out on February 25th the five times (in 24 hours) prior to the Houston CNN debate, including on the stage itself, when Reince Preibus stated emphatically the “presidential candidates were applying to join the party“.  Meaning from the RNC position the party apparatus is external to the presidential candidates, who are trying to join the RNC team by winning the nomination. (more…)

A common response to the shenanigans of the RNC/GOPe from the comments:

Major Chris Dickson USA (Ret):  “I just informed the RNC that after voting for over 46 years as a Republican, having served on Staff for U.S. Senator Dan Coats (R-IN), and having run as a Republican for the General Assembly, immediately following the Indiana primary I am leaving the Republican Party and going Independant. They no longer represent my core values because all they do is “Rubber-Stamp” everything Obama shoves at them!”

WARNING:

That’s exactly what the RNC hope you’ll do.

The goal of the RNC is to drive out those who don’t agree with them so the party remains with a small closed circle of narrow-minded sycophants. Then they close the party election to registered republicans, and you’re permanently locked out.

If you want to be able to effect change, you have to begin thinking of U.S. politics in general, and presidential politics specifically, as an insurgency.

Being part of a political insurgency means you accept the role of eliminating the RNC apparatus you dislike, by taking a more strategic approach and destroying them from the inside. Hence, the Trump approach, and our support for it. (more…)

Donald Trump made the media rounds today to take questions and discuss the new results.
