Hopefully the good people of Ohio will recognize what the appearance of Mitt Romney on stage with Governor John Kasich exemplifies.  The cocktail class republicans are desperate to remain in power – by any means necessary.

Governor John Kasich is not on the ballot in most of Illinois districts.  Kasich also did not qualify for the Pennsylvania ballot.  He didn’t qualify in 2015 because initially his usefulness to the GOPe grand plan was supposed to be splitting the ballot in Ohio to the benefit of Jeb Bush.   Kasich’s willingness to go along with such a deceptive scheme should tell you all you need to know about where his loyalties are.

(Via NBC) Mitt Romney will campaign with John Kasich Monday at two stops in Ohio, NBC News has learned from a source familiar with the plans.

Romney is not expected to endorse the Ohio governor during the campaign swing, the source said, but it will be the first time Romney has campaigned on behalf of a Republican candidate this cycle. (more…)

From the outset the broadcast media have intentionally not mentioned the weak technical campaign strategy of Ohio Governor John Kasich.  The foundational reason for the lack of ground-work was simply that Kasich was never supposed to be a national GOPe candidate.

Just like Rubio in Florida, Pataki in Illinois, Gilmore and Fiorina in Virginia, Perry in Texas and Lindsey Graham in South Carolina, Kasich’s role was to block a momentum candidate by splitting the voting base in Ohio.  Each of these candidates had a role to play in the GOPe road map for Jeb Bush.

However, when Donald Trump overwhelmed the “splitter strategy“, and eventually when Bush was forced to drop out of the race, the GOPe road-map shifted from “splitting” to “blocking“.   John Kasich’s role shifting accordingly.  Unfortunately, Kasich is not on all the ballots where the GOPe need has shifted.  (more…)

Trying to explain the significance of the last few days, in relationship to the Ted Cruz candidacy, requires the intellectually honest observer to recognize and/or accept the increasingly likely probability: we have been facing a manufactured “false dilemma” longer than most may be willing to accept.

“False Dilemma” – the fallacy of false choice, or the fallacy of the false alternative, is a type of informal fallacy involving a situation in which only limited alternatives are considered, when in fact there is at least one additional option.

In essence, presidential candidate Ted Cruz has been presented, by those who gain leverage in the presentation, as an option – to the previous “establishment candidates“.

Under this assumption, the intent of the option (Cruz) is to block the observer (electorate / us) from considering any additional alternative which remains outside the control of the presenting entity (the DC power brokers, GOPe, Wall Street donor class).

In order to recognize the fallacy of false choice, the audience must engage the new  information while reevaluating their prior assumption, positions and options.

That said, Team Cruz has shown new evidence of being much further aligned with the GOPe than most political observers, and high-information voters, might be willing to accept.

Here’s why: (more…)

Today Mitt Romney led the final charge against our Constitutional Republic.  In desperation he stated openly:

[…] Given the current delegate selection process, this means that I would vote for Marco Rubio in Florida, for John Kasich in Ohio, and for Ted Cruz or whichever one of the other two contenders has the best chance of beating Mr. Trump in a given state.

THAT instruction is specifically, intentionally and directly admitting “The Splitter Strategy” within the construct of the GOPe Road Map they created in 2014.

For over two years we have researched, outlined, traced and tracked the DC scheme to nominate their chosen candidate.   Let there be no further doubt, this open admission of the current road map modification is entirely what we have outlined.

The DC power brokers began their Wall Street collusion in October of 2013.  In February of 2014 the final outline of their scheme was put into action.  By the spring of 2015 every player within the scheme was in place.  What we are witnessing today is the final triggering of the remaining tripwires.

Every remaining visible flare is now shooting off in rapid sequence.  The enemy is now entirely behind the wire.  Fix Bayonets, and switch to “full auto”, the stakes cannot be higher.  If we fail, we lose our republic.

The GOPe must be defeated here, right now, in our time….. 

….. This is Saint Crispin’s Day !

History Repeats

In 1968 Michigan Governor George Romney tried to run for the presidency, he failed miserably.  He was gaffe prone, disjointed, disconnected from the common man and came across as a generally bumbling political oddity; prompting Ohio Governor Jim Rhodes to say:

…”Watching George Romney run for the presidency was like watching a duck try to make love to a football”…

Later, George Romney went on to try and undermine the insurgent “common sense” conservative candidacy of Ronald Reagan.

Today, George Romney’s son, Mitt Romney, another failed presidential candidate, an almost identical  duck, tries to undermine the insurgent candidacy of Donald Trump.

There is a profound amount of irony, and hypocrisy, found in the words of the younger duck today as he referenced 1964 and wise words from Ronald Reagan; a man his father directly opposed.  Obviously someone forgot to tell Mitt, his words represented that football. (more…)

The GOPe is entirely too predictable.  Former, and failed, presidential candidate Mitt Romney has announced his plan to deliver a full-throated attack upon the frontrunner of the 2016 presidential race in order to protect the party hierarchy from the continued grassroots uprising. (must watch video follows article).  

The Washington DC oligarchy must be protected at all costs.  Mitt Romney won six of 10 contests on Super Tuesday four years ago. In the Super Tuesday contests that took place this week, Trump won seven of 11 states.

BLOOMBERG – The rapidly intensifying effort by the Republican establishment to dislodge Donald Trump from the top of the party’s presidential nominating race will star 2012 nominee Mitt Romney, who is preparing a speech for Thursday when he’ll lay out his case against the front-runner.

With Trump’s convincing victories on Tuesday, the single biggest day of voting in the Republican race, Romney was motivated to make a more formal case against him in hopes of keeping him from coalescing more support, according to a Republican source familiar with Romney’s plans. Romney has voiced criticism for Trump in recent months, including his attack last week on the New York businessman’s refusal to release his tax returns.  (more…)

Former presidential candidate Mitt Romney is going “full Mississippi” with claims about Donald Trump’s taxes.  It doesn’t matter that there is no basis for the ridiculous assertions – the truth and/or facts are not what matters when you go “full Mississippi”…. it’s a strategy!

The absolute worst thing Donald Trump could do is to respond to it.  Responding to the provocation is exactly what they want.  Dismiss it like you would swat an annoying gnat.

Mitt Romney – “The reason that I think there’s a bombshell in there is because every time he’s asked about his taxes he dodges and delays and says, ‘Well we’re working on it,'” Romney told Fox News.

“We’re now, you know, in late February and we still haven’t seen either Donald Trump’s or Marco Rubio’s or Ted Cruz’s taxes,” he added, referring to the two US senators challenging Trump for the nomination.

“Frankly the voters have a right to see those tax returns before they decide who our nominee ought to be.” (link)

There is a specific reason why Mitt Romney is saying this.  There is also a specific reason why this specific reason, income taxes, is being used.  Here’s what’s going on. (more…)

Phyllis Schlafly posts an Op-Ed in the Investors Business Daily (not coincidentally the delivery vehicle for the only recent poll {377 voters selected} showing Donald Trump under 30% in the past five days) presenting a proposition that the GOPe is looking for a “Plan B” to the current abysmal republican failure known commonly as Jeb Bush.

The Republican establishment designed the process to deliver the 2016 presidential nomination to a business-friendly moderate who avoids so-called social issues. The consultants who rewrote the party rules after 2012 are now trying to explain to their patrons what went wrong and how to fix it.
Plan A, of course, was to assure the nomination of Jeb Bush, whose views are the perfect reflection of the Republican donor class.
But despite many months of campaigning, $114 million of political funds raised through June 30, and two presidential debates watched by a record-setting average of 24 million people, Jeb Bush has dropped to sixth place, registering only 4% in the latest Pew poll. (more)

Agree on all of it, except, well, there isn’t a “plan B” per se’.  Plan-A is the successful nomination, by the apparatus known as “the establishment”, of Jeb Bush.  All subsequent plans B through Z are to insure Plan-A.  Period.

Eggs, meet basket.
The GOPe road map is so heavily contingent on Jeb Bush that no alternate plan was even considered, thought about, discussed or generally presented as plausible.
Every Wall Street luncheon since October 2013; every K-Street breakfast; every Chamber of Commerce dinner; every RNC national and regional rules meeting – ALL OF IT; has been built up based on a cornerstone and central tenet that Jeb would fulfill all of the handshake agreements contained within ALL of those meetings over the past 23 months.
There simply is no other option.  Period. (more…)

Transcript of Romney statement via Hugh Hewitt:

Let me begin by letting you know who else is on this call, besides Ann and me. There are a large number of people who signed on to be leaders of our 2016 finance effort. In addition, state political leadership from several of the early primary states are on the line. And here in New York City, and on the phone, are people who have been helping me think through how to build a new team, as well as supporters from the past who have all been kind enough to volunteer their time during this deliberation stage. Welcome, and thank you. Your loyalty and friendship, and your desire to see the country with new, competent and conservative leadership warms my heart.
After putting considerable thought into making another run for president, I’ve decided it is best to give other leaders in the Party the opportunity to become our next nominee. (more…)

The apology by itself appears genuine, but also appears more apologetic for reflecting the truth behind almost all liberals.   They are, by ideological disposition, genuinely trapped in a life fraught with expressed hypocrisy.
Liberal advocacy is always, 100% of the time, structured around a ‘do as I say, not as I do’ advancement.   I have never met, nor witnessed, a modern liberal who actually walk their talk.

Subsequently, to me at least, this apology is more associated with an outcome of being called to the mat. Watch the entire video and toward the end you’ll see this is not an apology toward Mitt Romney, it’s an apology toward a mirror.
