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 †

In October/November 2013 CTH tried to outline the natural sequence of events that would come from a bold and brand new policy alignment between Wall Street and the UniParty (Democrats and Republicans).  In essence, the modern global DC vision and how political elections would play out.

Few could believe what we outlined when we stated the 2014 mid-term elections, if predicted to occur as they inevitably did, would result in republican control of the House and Senate in 2015 – AND:  1) no budget, 2) amnesty legislation, 3) advancement of Common Core federal education, 4) no repeal of Obamacare, 5) new anti-American trade deal, 6) full funding for Obama’s programs….

….and most importantly, 7) the nomination of Jeb Bush in 2016 by running a large field (12+) of Republican candidates through 2015 as a strategy.

This was exactly what took place.  It was NOT some grand conspiracy; it was not some incredible Nostradamus-type insight;  it was simply the natural, and sequential course of events if you accept the new modern era UniParty political landscape.

Then when Donald Trump announced his candidacy, we shared the scope of how that single action could, and if successful, would, upset the entire dynamic of this new political era within the UniParty. (more…)

Hillary Clinton Campaign Manager, Robby Mook, during an interview Sunday on with Jake Tapper, claims Russia was responsible for hacking the Democrat party’s internal servers and stealing the information.  Mook claims their motive was to help Donald Trump.

Obviously the Clinton campaign is just attempting distraction as a political tool.  However, there is an interesting aspect to this deflective approach being taken by the Clinton Team in their efforts to avoid discussing or confronting the substance of the emails.

When FBI Director James Comey outlined the entire investigation into Clinton’s use of her private email server, and the attached devices she used for communication, Comey stated:

FBI Director James Comey […]  Consistent with our counterintelligence responsibilities, we have also investigated to determine whether there is evidence of computer intrusion in connection with the personal e-mail server by any foreign power, or other hostile actors.

This is an evolving story #BestSummerEver – Due to the revelations within the WikiLeaks DNC emails, Debbie Wasserman-Shultz has been barred from speaking at the Democrat Convention.

In an effort to diffuse the growing controversy, and trying to split the baby, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has just resigned her position as head of the DNC effective AFTER the Philadelphia convention…..  NOT GOOD ENOUGH says the majority of convention attendees so… stay tuned!    UPDATE:  Donna Brazille to fill in?

PHILADELPHIA – […] A Hillary Clinton source expects Wasserman Schultz to be gone by the end of the day, while another Democratic source said President Barack Obama or a proxy for him may need to get involved and call Wasserman Schultz because her posture is that she was appointed by the president.

Wasserman Schultz is holding on, believing “she can weather this,” a source told CNN
Short of her resigning, both critics and supporters within the DNC are demanding she issue a statement to deal with the many issues raised by the release of a trove of DNC emails by Wikileaks that appeared to show the party favoring Clinton over Bernie Sanders during the primary process. (more…)

WikiLeaks revealed clear evidence the Democrat National Committee was working earnestly to undermine Bernie Sanders and colluding with like-minded main stream media entities to eliminate the Sanders campaign.

The email leaks clearly show the DNC was working to support Hillary Clinton, and position Hillary Clinton favorably during the primary election.  Bernie Sanders supporters had been making this argument for months and being called conspiracy theorists by the media; the email release proves the supporters were right.

Bernie Sanders discusses the revelations and talks to NBC and ABC (two video interviews):
