“Float Like A Butterfly”

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 †

Former Clinton family employee, Jake Tapper, interviewed Donald Trump today on CNN:

No one exposes the real political danger behind hidden ideological alignments as good as Donald Trump.  The beating of the Trump supporters in San Jose last night, and the responses, highlight a case in point.

What do Nikki Haley, Hillary Clinton, Ted Cruz, San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo, and Brad Thor have in common?  They are all on the same page blaming Donald Trump for not accepting the physical beatings that come with expressions of free speech and challenging the orthodoxy of their political views.
Each of these voices in their own way telling Trump, and by extension his supporters, to shut up and sit down; failure to do so will result in your beating.  Trump has a remarkable way of drawing out the pervasive progressive and culturally Marxist beliefs.
If you need further affirmation of Trump’s ability to spotlight the anti-American sentiments that underpin the majority of the political opposition, you only need to reference this little *hidden* snippet about San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo. [Those of you familiar with the DOJ Community Relations Service agenda will immediately spot the tell]: (more…)

Duh!  As the sun sets on his career, the angry man screams at the universe over what he now sees:

Folks, we’ve been waiting almost 30 years for a national politician to draw out the inherent hypocrisy of the professional left, and Trump’s candidacy is doing just that.
For the past ten months the professional left, including all elements of the MSM, have been telling everyone that Donald Trump is opposed by all Hispanics.  Now the same group is saying a Hispanic Judge can be supportive of Donald Trump.
Which is it?
I digress….
Because today it gets even better.
The professional left (including President Obama) have continually said the existence of the “Ferguson Effect”, a principle outlining law enforcement’s reluctance to engage violent offenders based on political correctness, as non-existent.  They say the escalating violence amid inner-cities has nothing to do with police being fearful of carrying out their duty.
However, today Democrat San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo says this: (more…)

I’m sticking this prior post with updates to the top of the page because many people are missing the scope of the leftist panic to the sunlight provided by the San Jose fiasco:
You know the phones in DC are burning up with panicked leftists when ABC actually broadcasts this news segment on Good Morning America.

How panicked are the professional left? VERY.

They, and “they” includes DOJ-CRS Head Grande Lum, are just beginning to understand how much more politically effective Donald Trump is as their adversary. Trump is using their own strategies against them.  They do not have a playbook to defend against sunlight on their own behavior.
Update:  ♦  The San Jose Police Chief has admitted to allowing the Trump supporters to be attacked.  Chief Garcia is now trying to justify his decision.  Read the comments section HERE to see the scope of the backlash in CA.
♦ President Obama is now quickly trying to distance his political supporters from their violence and requesting they stop: “We saw in San Jose these protesters starting to pelt stuff on Trump supporters. That’s not what our democracy is about. That’s not what you do. There’s no room for violence” (LINK)
♦ A California CBS Broadcaster Issues a public apology – SEE HERE
♦ The Democrat San Jose Mayor was summoned to Washington DC because his plan to allow Trump supporters to be attacked has backfired on the Democrat Presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton.  The professional left realizes how they are being exposed.  They understand the risk. They are panicked…
