As the Trump campaign has navigated the minefield of opposition, many have inquired (mostly via email) about the ‘next steps’, the horizon per se’ – as it relates to the tripwire series.
Much of the Donald Trump campaign is correctly framed by the media as impossible to predict, uncharted, or completely new; and to a large extent that outlook is correct.
However, for those who really understand how we found the GOPe road-map, and predicted the multi-candidate splitter strategy in 2014 even before the 2016 campaign began, there is a part of the journey that -if successful- leads to predictable outcomes.

When looking forward, to predict behaviors based on motive, you must always ground yourself on the motives behind how the race advanced to where it is today.   All future perspectives must coincide with the more broad historical agenda of the group being discussed.
There are four basic groups in the Republican “NeverTrump” coalition. In essence these are Team Trump enemies writ large: (more…)

I doubt you could find a more apropos example of the current state of the 2016 republican presidential race than to look at the contrast today between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.
Candidate Trump heads to Indiana and Maryland for campaign rallies with voters; while candidate Cruz rushes to Hollywood Florida to meet with RNC officers, party insiders and GOPe officials.   Trump rallies people – Cruz relies on party bosses.

The party officials who met with Team Cruz today are the same party leaders who have presided over the past decade’s exodus from the Republican Party.  The GOPe has dropped 17% of it’s base, now around 30% registration “Republican”, and prior to candidate Donald Trump held less than a third of all registered U.S. voters.
Donald Trump has brought in massive numbers of new voters to the Republican party:  ♦ Over 100,000 people switched or registered ‘republican’ in Pennsylvania; ♦ more than 20,000 Massachusetts democrats changed party to republican prior to the primary; ♦ in California tens of thousands of voters are switching, or registering for the first time, all to support Donald Trump.  (more…)

A curious situation presented itself two weeks ago within the FEC reports and required filings of 2016 election Super-PACS. A direct phone inquiry confirmed a noted decrease in the number of required “24-hour expenditure reports” from some Super-PAC’s currently active and engaged in the 2016 presidential election.
Perhaps the decrease in filing activity was  just coincidental to several recent revelations which were discovered and discussed relating to the payments to media groups and various media-created LLC’s who are beneficiaries of Super-PAC funding.
They could just be spending less, and being less involved in the last 10 days. A key deadline for monthly summary filings is only five days away.
However, it could also be that THIS SUNLIGHT is expanding exponentially.
Super-PACS are required to file a detailed monthly list of donors (contributions) and expenditures (payments) for the preceding month on/before the 20th day of the current reporting period. Meaning contributions and expenditures for “March 2016” are due by April 20th – TODAY.

Cruz super PAC Keep the Promise III collected $770k in March, almost entirely from another Cruz super PAC, Trusted Leadership.

Presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz had a full apoplectic meltdown today.  During a radio appearance an unhinged Senator Cruz began lashing out and screaming at Sean Hannity.  (full audio below)   The internet lit up as people discussed the on-air meltdown wondering what could have possibly triggered such grossly unstable behavior.
Apparently the answer is found in this picture from Senator Cruz’s rally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  Only a few dozen people showed up to hear candidate Cruz – in a city home to over 1.6 million people.

UPDATE:  It appears the Cruz campaign is trying to hide from such a horrible optic.

A left-wing gay activist and Texas pastor, Jordan Brown, is now facing serious legal issues for manufacturing a fake lawsuit against the grocery store Whole Foods in Austin Texas.
“After a deeper investigation of Mr. Brown’s claim, we believe his accusations are fraudulent and we intend to take legal action against both Mr. Brown and his attorney” ~Whole Foods.
The controversy initially began when Pastor Jordan Brown posted the following video to his Facebook account, and then followed up the issue by hiring an attorney to sue Whole Foods:

However, the entire incident is a complete fraud and thankfully Whole Foods is fighting back, including the release of store CCTV video showing Mr. Brown at the point of sale checking out and paying for his purchase.  (more…)

The same group that claims the Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United was good for electoral democracy – is now 100% supportive of Ted Cruz:

D.A.P.A or Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents program – is the executive action Obama attempted in November of 2014 which was shut down by Federal Judge Andrew Hanen in February ’15 with the issuance of an emergency injunction.

• The DOJ appealed the Hanen injunction, on merit, to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals and lost.
• The DOJ then appealed the Hanen injunction, on standing, to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, and lost again. (Full Backstory) <– Absolutely critical read to understand the scope of what was argued today – includes prior court rulings.

The DOJ filed an appeal with the US Supreme Court. On January 19th, 2016 the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear the case.
Today, April 18th, 2016, the court heard oral arguments –full pdf transcript below– decision expected in late June/July.  We bring you the direct source information so you can make up your own mind and don’t need the media’s interpretation.
The 108 page transcript of the 90 minute hearing is a GREAT READ:

President Obama is fast-tracking the import of Syrian Islamists prior to the end of his administration.  Simultaneous to the State Department’s heightened activity video now surfaces of the Islamists blending their cultural jihad with the nice people of France.

(Via The Hill) The State Department is hoping to bring an average of nearly 1,500 Syrian refugees to the United States per month in order to meet President Obama’s target of settling 10,000 refugees in the country by September. About 1,300 refugees have already been placed in the United States since Obama first made the commitment in September.
That’s far fewer than those taken in by European countries such as Germany, who has dealt with an unprecedented wave of migrants fleeing Syria’s civil war, as well as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. (more…)

It would appear that contact, from ordinary researchers who dig through the sometimes overwhelming reporting, with the FEC, can actually deliver results. Since our initial research into Katie Packer’s group “Our Principles”, the FEC has requested clarification of expenditures for media payments made in opposition to candidate Donald J Trump.

Candidate Donald Trump has published the following Op-Ed in the Wall Street Journal.  The accompanying images are mine… /SD

How has the ‘system’ been working out for you and your family? No wonder voters demand change.

Via Donald J Trump –  On Saturday, April 9, Colorado had an “election” without voters. Delegates were chosen on behalf of a presidential nominee, yet the people of Colorado were not able to cast their ballots to say which nominee they preferred.
A planned vote had been canceled. And one million Republicans in Colorado were sidelined.

In recent days, something all too predictable has happened: Politicians furiously defended the system. “These are the rules,” we were told over and over again. If the “rules” can be used to block Coloradans from voting on whether they want better trade deals, or stronger borders, or an end to special-interest vote-buying in Congress—well, that’s just the system and we should embrace it.
Let me ask America a question: How has the “system” been working out for you and your family? (more…)
