Wednesday Open Thread – January 20th

Tomb of the Unknown ChristmasOur 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 †

BaiTED – Donald Trump and Sarah Palin Team Up To Expose The Deep GOPe – Divide and Conquer….

Palin endorses Trump:  No-one will be more visibly filled with elitist too-cute-by-half smarm than FOX’s Megyn Kelly, or Nicole Wallace, or Kathleen Parker….  And no-one will be more visibly filled with rabid hatred than the same Wall Street cocktail class GOPe crew from ’08/’09/’10….

Sarah_Palin_850trump cruz - debate break

To use a fishing analogy – Donald Trump and Sarah Palin have put the best baits on the spread.  The outriggers, flat lines and down riggers are perfectly positioned as Palin/Trump steer directly over the top of the target.

Now, sit back and witness their slow troll directly over the heart of the GOPe Wahoo lair. This will force the GOPe to rise, become visible and take the bait.

The same professional political class (GOPe) voices who accused Donald Trump of sexism, misogyny and vitriol, will now be baited to the surface to expose their sexism, misogyny, vitriol and elitism.  Watch. (more…)

Donald Trump Rally Winterset Iowa – 11:30am EST LiveStream…

Candidate Donald Trump has a VERY FULL schedule today with three campaign stops in Iowa: Winterset 10:30am, Altoona 12:00pm, and Ames 5:00pm.  (Central Times)

The Ames event is probably the most anticipated event of the day because Trump has promised a “special announcement” and “Mystery Guest”.  However, the day begins in Winterset with an outside event at the John Wayne birthplace museum.

Post Debate Florida Poll – Donald Trump With Commanding Lead 31%…

A recent Florida poll conducted after the South Carolina GOP debate is almost identical to the last South Carolina poll (Trump leads with 32%).

In Florida Donald Trump holds a commanding lead with 31%, Cruz second with 19%, Bush 13% and Rubio 12%.   Rubio/Bush combined total 25%, still behind Trump.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton greets a supporter following her address at the 18th Annual David N. Dinkins Leadership and Public Policy Forum at Columbia University in New York

The jump into Third Place for Jeb Bush is an important part to watch.  As we have previously shared, we should expect to see Bush begin inching out his own GOPe teammates.

Also, as previously explained, Bush/Rubio support should be considered a combined UniCandidate total.   One will endorse the other, depending on timing – our prediction remains that Rubio will defer to his mentor Bush, eventually (either during the mid to late stages of the race, or at the convention).

When Cruz Was Still Canadian Donald Trump Was Tough on Immigration – A Historic Review…

cruz canadianThe Junior Canadian Senator is actually trying to re-write history and claim he is strong on immigration issues.

“I like Donald Trump, I respect him personally, and in this campaign he’s talked a lot about illegal immigration and amnesty,” Cruz told the crowd. Going on to detail the 2013 immigration reform battle in Congress — legislation he opposed — Cruz continued, “We were on the verge of losing this fight, and 12 million people here illegally would be granted amnesty. And yet when that fight was being fought, Donald was nowhere to be found.” (link)

An incredulous claim coming from a Senator who took office a mere two years ago, while still holding Canadian citizenship, and who has failed to win a single battle on any legislation, including immigration. (more…)
