Imitation is the GOPe’s sincerest form of flattery…

A leaked NRSC memo (full pdf below) written by executive director Ward Baker discusses the Donald Trump phenomenon and instructs republican candidates to tap into The Trump, but don’t mimic the controversial stuff.

The memo is interesting because of the timing of when it was written (September 22nd), which is post GOP debate #2 (Operation Hummingbird – CNN Jake Tapper debate where all candidates were pitted against Trump 9/16),  and the content within it.

Essentially the memo tries to instruct GOPe candidates how to accept the seismic shift in the political landscape.   It also urges them to adopt many of Trump’s tactics, issues and approaches including adjusting the way they dress and how they use Twitter to engage genuine support from ordinary citizens.

…”[…] Avoid Washington-speak (legislation, bills, insider talk) in favor of Main Street common sense. And, tell your communications and media teams to up the vibe and change the look. Voters are on to you when you do the standard walk and talk through a business, school, or factory”…

After weeks of relentless attacks by media and GOPe rivals, not only does Donald Trump remain at the top of the field but he extends his lead to ten points over the next closest competitor.  That which doesn’t eliminate him, only makes him stronger.  Meanwhile, Dr. Ben Carson has dropped from 23% to 16%

A new poll from Quinnipiac (full pdf below) shows Rubio, Cruz and Carson now deadlocked in a race for Second Place:

Quinnipiac – Eleven months before the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump is the undisputed leader in the Republican field, as Dr. Ben Carson, in a virtual tie with Trump four weeks ago, drops to third place, according to a Quinnipiac University National poll released today. (more…)

The media continue to deny that Muslims were celebrating in New Jersey on 9/11/01.  Yesterday we showed you articles written about Paterson NJ celebrations, and calls into the Howard Stern show.

Now today the videos begin to emerge.  People are digging through their old VHS tapes, replaying old recordings and re-recording the footage on their TV’s as further evidence.    Here’s a report from CBS Channel 2 in Jersey City:

How is CBS going to continue saying they don’t have video of their reports, when their own broadcast footage is playing right in front of your eyes?

What you see in that CBS report is exactly what Eric Bolling is describing below (more…)

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 †

There is a lot of serious discussion squished into this interview with former Director of Intelligence Michael Flynn.  However, that said, the larger umbrella issue is summarized near the end – President Obama’s ideological willful blindness to the larger threat presented by ISIS.

This interview reminded me of  previously encapsulated question:

If President Obama did not want to see ISIS destroyed, what would he be doing differently?

This follows the discovery of FOUR additional affirmations within our prior outline and the now scrubbed New York Post –

In an exclusive interview with One America News Network’s Cameron Cramer, NYC Police Commissioner on 9/11, Bernard Kerik, confirms Trump’s statements of numerous celebrations after the 9/11 attacks:

D.A.P.A or Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents program – is the executive action Obama attempted in November of 2014 which was shut down by Federal Judge Andrew Hanen in February ’15 with the issuance of an emergency injunction.

• The DOJ appealed the Hanen injunction, on merit, to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals and lost.
• The DOJ then appealed the Hanen injunction, on standing, to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, and lost again.

The DOJ then filed an appeal with the US Supreme Court.  The court has yet to determine if they will hear the case, however today SCOTUS granted a partial common procedural extension to the 26 states who filed the original lawsuit: (more…)

(Via Fox News) As the number of classified Hillary Clinton emails grew to nearly 1,000, they also reveal how freely she and her staff shared information on the Benghazi attacks, including confirming the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens – and even celebrating her controversial hearing appearance where she asked, “What difference, at this point, does it make” what led to the attacks.

The emails were part of the largest release yet of Clinton documents from the State Department. (more…)
