An article today in the Washington Post outlines meetings with anxiety-riddled Pennsylvania Democrat party leaders who are increasingly apoplectic as they see a state-wide electorate supporting Donald Trump, specifically in areas where Republicans should not be winning support.

The Pennsylvania outline shows a broad-based appeal for common sense conservative approach of Donald Trump among regions of the Philadelphia suburbs which previously supported Barack Obama.
Post author David Weigel walks through the towns where Donald Trump has garnered unexpected support.  What he writes about, is what we have all discussed, the emergence of the Monster Voters – although neither Weigel, nor the Democrat leaders he interviews, are aware of who these Monster Voters are, the silent common sense conservatives.
There is much hand-wringing and angst amid the leadership who are holding meetings trying to figure out why their neighbors are supporting Trump.
And there, right in the center of the WaPo article you find this quote from former Philadelphia Mayor, and Pennsylvania Governor, Ed Rendell: (more…)

Ivanka Trump was interviewed by CBS This Morning and discusses the New York Times political hit piece against her father, candidate Donald Trump:

Good grief.  Hillary Clinton Inc. is desperately trying to avoid the visible reality of Bernie Sanders representing the larger voice within the Democrat Party.

The Clinton machine (MSM) is working overtime pitching a wounded indian routine to their allies in the media.   The professional party apparatus is now blaming Bernie Sanders supporters for the Nevada Convention chaos the Clinton led democrat party created.

The customary process of DNC party officials claiming victim status and blaming the Bernie peeps for the abuse is ridiculous in the extreme.  After all, it was Bernie Sanders supporters who were intentionally shut down in Nevada.
Now the party leadership is demanding Bernie Sanders rebuke his own constituency.  Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz released a statement calling for universal condemnation of the Sanders supporters’ “troubling” attacks.
Here’s an example of how the Clinton Machine (New York Times) is pitching the latest strategy to destroy Bernie’s insurgent campaign: (more…)

The preferred narrative is gaining increasing evidence. Those who gain benefit from leveraging a cultural shift of modern feminism are working earnestly to retain it.
The phrase:  “you cannot talk down to me because I’m a woman“, traditional -arguably appropriate- ERA feminism, demanded equality in opportunity.  However, that argument has now been dropped.
Modern feminism is leveraged: “you cannot criticize me, because I’m a woman“.
The traditional demands of equality are following a predictable pattern and now invoking leveraged benefit.
Ultimately, this is the modern version of feminism, and one currently being advanced by personalities like Fox News host Megyn Kelly.  Social justice memes demanding a higher position of consideration based on (fill_in_the_blank), where this specific blank is filled with gender.
The objective determinations of skill and competency are now being clouded by lowered expectations forced by the benefactors who gain by lowering the expectation.  It is a dangerous and slippery slope to bar critical evaluation based on lowered expectations due to gender.   Such well-intentioned pathways historically lead to soft-bigotry caused by lessened expectations.
However, if Hillary Clinton is to gain nation-wide elected office her incompetence and inability must be shielded.  This is the basic motive for a growing gender-based narrative as injected into the 2016 presidential race.   The latest attempts by the Washington Post and New York Times are ultimately evidence of this intention.

It should come as no surprise to discover a recent New York Times article was written as a specifically intended and targeted hit piece against a candidate who is opposed to the liberal world-view preferred by the Times.  After all, the NYT is infamous for injecting their liberal ideological views into their publications, and even admissions by former editors of using the newspaper to target ideological opponents.
The most recent story outlining candidate Donald Trump was written to provide support for Hillary Clinton and to disparage the candidacy of Trump.   To show further evidence of this intention, the woman at the center of the NYT article, a former girlfriend of Mr. Trump, is stating today the Times article was fraught with lies and manipulations of her interview.
In her own words:

Anderson Cooper said last week CNN had never corroborated, nor reported on, an earlier story about Hillary Clinton.  Watch. The video speaks for itself:

Sometimes you might find yourself having an imaginary conversation with the insufferable moonbat pundits on TV:

• Pundit: Candidate Donald Trump has a woman problem…
SD: But he’s winning large majorities of women voters in the primary and polling.
• Pundit: That’s only Republican women…
SD: Well, actually Republican and Independent women, but that’s women.
• Pundit: But he needs to win women in the General Election…
SD: He’s winning women so far.
• Pundit: But that’s only republican women.
SD: Republican and Independent women are general election voters...
• Pundit: But that’s only republican and independent women.
SD: So, you’re saying he needs to win non-Republican women, Democrat women?
• Pundit: Yes, exactly.
SD: Are you saying Democrat women are going to vote for a Republican?
• Pundit: No, heavens no. Of course they’re not.
SD: So why should he change message to appeal to a constituency with no intention of voting for him?
• Pundit: Well, um… because.
SD: Thanks. Carry on.

One of the best Trump attributes in the current political season is his ability to campaign on common sense. Unfortunately for the media enterprise, this makes much of their influential punditry seem silly. It’s not a matter of Donald Trump defying the intellectual logic of the professional political class; it’s more a matter of just plain common sense.

Actions Speak Louder Than Words – This is an older interview with Ivanka Trump from October of 2015.  However, within the interview you see why the progressive left (within Hillary Clinton Camp) is desperately afraid of Donald Trump.
Candidate Donald Trump has an actual history of empowering, advancing, and promoting strong women within his organization.  Everything about Ivanka Trump runs completely counter to the narrative the progressive left need to advance Clinton.
In this interview Ivanka absolutely destroys the archetype ‘sexism’ approach:

Tonight at 8:00pm the heavy political news day continues with a five candidate Presidential Town Hall hosted by CNN.

The event begins at 8:00pm EST and is scheduled through 11:00pm.

Candidates Hillary Clinton, Ted Cruz, John Kasich and Donald Trump will appear live on  CNN.  Bernie Sanders is scheduled to appear via satellite feed.  All five presidential candidates will be questioned individually by host Anderson Cooper and Wolf Blitzer – it appears most of the Q&A will be interview style.

There is not a publicly available schedule to find out the order of appearance.

The Town Hall event is being broadcast on CNN and CNNi.

(This thread will remain at the top of the page for the duration of the broadcast)

This is NOT about Carly Fiorina, this is entirely about how blazingly stupid the professional republican party is. Well, actually, “Willfully blind” is perhaps more apropos.

There are essentially eight candidates left in the GOP race: Trump, Cruz, Rubio, Bush, Christie, Carson, Kasich, and Fiorina.  ABC announces their debate and SEVEN are going to be on the New Hampshire debate stage.

Who is missing?  Carly Fiorina.

Now before everyone jumps into the ‘she-doesn’t-deserve-it’ argument, or any variant therein, let me repeat – THIS IS NOT ABOUT CARLY FIORINA.  This is entirely about the preferred narrative of ABC and democrat activist, debate moderator, and Clinton foundation leadership member, George Stephanopoulos.
