In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “2016 Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Presidential Race and/or any of the candidates therein.

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Remember what we have stated about “tremors” and “twitches” that get overlooked by most media?  Yeah, well…

UPDATE 11:30pm EDT Race Called !  Huelskamp Lost

(((snicker))) A July 15th Poll Release: showed U.S. Rep. Tim Huelskamp (+9) leading Republican primary challenger Roger Marshall, 47 percent to 38 percent.

However, one of Toxic Ted Cruz’s biggest republican advocates, Tim Huelskamp (Kansas), looks like he is about to lose lost his re-election bid with a primary challenge from Roger Marshall.

Secretary of State Website HERE, Media Link to Race HERE

Tim Huelskamp is a rabid, VERY RABID, Trump hater.  He was one of the inner network republican house rep #NeverTrump antagonists, and a full-throated Ted Cruz supporter. A really nasty piece of work. – SEE HERE –

Representative Huelskamp even advertised and promoted his hatred for republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.  A primary defeat tonight would portend some favorability toward the odds of a Paul Nehlen victory next week (Tuesday August 9th)

When republican house speaker Paul “Omnibus” Ryan and republican Senator John McCain earlier refused to endorse candidate Donald Trump the media proclaimed both were standing on high morale ground based on principle.   Ergo, it was Trump’s fault.

Of course it was.

Representative Paul Ryan is the staunch TPP trade advocate who also supports open borders, amnesty, the failed gang-of-eight bill, the Koch Brothers and Wall Street’s legislative priorities as reflected by globalist Tom Donohue and the crony U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

In addition, Paul Ryan supports unlimited corporate spending to influence U.S. elections, and radical changes to social security and entitlement benefits.

All of these Ryan positions and interests are directly counter to republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. (more…)

The past 96 hours of media onslaught have evidenced what most of you already know, the ‘at risk’ financial interests of the UniParty are going hard against Donald Trump from every imaginable angle.

The timing is specific, the UniParty affiliates are trying to do the narrative damage before people become distracted with the Rio Olympic games.

FOLLOW THE $$: The Donor Class is set to lose hundreds of billions if ObamaClinton #TPP isn't passed–it's why they must stop Trump.

Hopefully none of this has come as a surprise to CTH readers.  At least those who have been here since we first discovered the intent of the Wall Street / UniParty legislative agenda in the fall of 2013, and began exposing their specific and predictable approach.

The UniParty is fully aligned.  It is no longer Democrats vs Republicans, it’s Globalists vs America-First Nationalists.   President Obama, Paul Ryan, Nancy Pelosi, Tom Donohue, Mitch McConnell, the Koch Brothers, the Media, Wall Street, and the DNC are all aligned together, working hand-in-hand, toward a specific set of agenda items.

Candidate Donald Trump is the single existential threat to this carefully created UniParty construct they have spent billions to organize.

Is it a daunting task for Trump to overcome the scope of the alignment against him?  Sure it is, but there has been –and continues to be– an awakening.

“Subtlety”, “nuance”, “twitches”, “tremors”, “fine tuning”, these the less visible notations a researcher can find when they look into the quiet data the smart-set stroll past. Quiet data is often overlooked because it’s not sexy, nor is it scriptable or moldable by the media.

It just is.

President Obama held a joint press conference today with Prime Minister Lee of Singapore, the subject of the White House meeting was Obama’s controversial Trans-Pacific Trade deal.

However, breaking with all traditional political decorum, and using a seeded question from the press gallery, President Obama launched into a five minute tirade against republican presidential candidate Donald Trump:

Moments ago Donald Trump responded to President Obama via a Facebook post:

Speaker Paul “Omnibus” Ryan was well received at the globalist summit sponsored by the Koch Brothers.  Additionally, the Koch Brothers have given Ryan $1.2 Million for his legislative efforts.  A Breitbart News article provides the details of the summit…

JANESVILLE, WI — House Speaker Paul Ryan received a standing ovation from wealthy donors after denouncing the views of Republican voters, who are skeptical of so-called “free trade” deals.

Speaking at a lavish retreat for 400 donors hosted by a network helmed by libertarian billionaires Charles and David Koch, Paul Ryan suggested it was incumbent upon the Party to “repudiate” the views of Republican voters, who do not support Ryan and his donors’ trade agenda.

Ryan reportedly assured donors that he will work to “win some of these fights” and advance their agenda on trade — presumably meaning that Ryan plans to push through the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement, supported by GOP donors.

The Washington Post reports that Ryan’s message was warmly received by those in attendance at the elite retreat — noting that Ryan was “clearly a favorite” amongst the network of donors: (more…)
