Interesting.  Jeb was always the GOPe candidate.  The 2014 road map was constructed exclusively for Jeb.  At least 12, perhaps more, of the original candidates were part of Team Jeb.  Jeb Bush carries 4 delegates.  Jeb continues to be on every ballot. Jeb Bush will be in leadership role at GOP convention.  Jeb Bush always said he’d win the nomination by losing the primary.  Is Jeb Bush the convention candidate?

He met with Rubio first today.

(Via ABC) Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush may be out of the presidential race but he’s not out of the game. In advance of the CNN debate at the University of Miami Thursday, Bush is meeting with all the remaining GOP candidates except his former foe, Donald Trump.

Bush will meet with Florida Sen. Marco Rubio today, then Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz on Thursday, according to a Bush spokesperson. (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.

Following terrific election night results for Donald Trump he enters the eye wall of the hurricane media to re-engage:

No single candidate has ever faced such intense vitriol as we have seen in the past week against Donald Trump.  The entire DC based professional political apparatus has thrown everything, including the kitchen sink, at him.   Trump’s still standing, because WE are still standing. Steadfast, at his six!

The GOPe attack, led by Mitt Romney, is running into the reality of the electorate.  We are wise to their schemes and tricks.  The Rebel Alliance is well positioned and controlling the geography.

Let’s take a look at last night, state by state:

Michigan – Three intensely wonderful results.  ♦ First, Donald Trump wins with around 37% of the vote in a state that is very in tune with the message of how important it is to destroy the TPP trade deal; and how Donald Trump is the definitive candidate to restructure the manufacturing base and save the middle-class blue collar base.
