CNN Republican Presidential Debate #12 In Florida – 8:30pm Open Discussion Thread…

The #12 republican primary GOP debate is tonight at 8:30pm EST on CNN.  The stakes are high for all of the candidates.  Florida is the home state for Senator Marco Rubio and he’s currently behind in most polls.

The Florida primary is March 15th along with Missouri, Illinois, Ohio and North Carolina. Those five (“Super-Tuesday 2.0”) states will deliver winner-take-all delegates which could effectively end the candidacy of almost all current contenders.

CNN is broadcasting the debate live at 8:30pm.  The debate is sponsored by CNN, The Washington Times and The Salem Media Group.

  • CNN is the propaganda outlet for modern progressive thought.
  • The Washington Times represents the DC professional machine.
  • Salem Media Group (Hugh Hewitt) is an advocacy group for Marco Rubio.

Senator Ted Cruz is anticipated to once again tag-team with Senator Marco Rubio and go nasty toward candidate Donald Trump.  John Kasich will attack as needed.

After Planning Meeting of GOPe Strategists Team Cruz Pulls Out of Florida – Focus: North Carolina, Missouri and Illinois…

Following a meeting of Wall Street donors and DC political strategists, the Cruz campaign has shifted strategy and announces a “Stop Trump” focus on North Carolina, Missouri and Illinois.

CNN shares some of in insider details as provided by Kellyanne Conway a CNN contributor, pundit and current head of the pro-Cruz Super-PAC Keep the Promise.

(Via CNN) […]  Keep the Promise, the main cluster of independent groups backing Cruz, is preparing to spend $4.1 million in a quartet of states that vote on March 15: Missouri, Illinois, Ohio and North Carolina. It is passing entirely on Florida, Rubio’s home state, where he trails national frontrunner Donald Trump badly in polls.

“We’re no longer doing anti-Rubio ads in Florida, because it appears he can lose Florida all by himself,” said Kellyanne Conway, the group’s president. “He doesn’t need our help.”

John Kasich Fails To Gain Signatures For Ballot Access To Pennsylvania and Parts of Illinois…

From the outset the broadcast media have intentionally not mentioned the weak technical campaign strategy of Ohio Governor John Kasich.  The foundational reason for the lack of ground-work was simply that Kasich was never supposed to be a national GOPe candidate.

Just like Rubio in Florida, Pataki in Illinois, Gilmore and Fiorina in Virginia, Perry in Texas and Lindsey Graham in South Carolina, Kasich’s role was to block a momentum candidate by splitting the voting base in Ohio.  Each of these candidates had a role to play in the GOPe road map for Jeb Bush.

However, when Donald Trump overwhelmed the “splitter strategy“, and eventually when Bush was forced to drop out of the race, the GOPe road-map shifted from “splitting” to “blocking“.   John Kasich’s role shifting accordingly.  Unfortunately, Kasich is not on all the ballots where the GOPe need has shifted.  (more…)

Candidate Ted Cruz Calls Trump Supporters “Low Information” and “Not Engaged”…

Stuttering candidate Ted Cruz takes his GOPe rhetoric to new lows and tells CBN during an interview that Donald Trump supporters are “low information” and “not engaged”.

“Donald does well with voters who have relatively low information, who are not that engaged and who are angry and they see him as an angry voice.” (link)

It would appear lyin’ Ted is increasingly growing desperate as his odds of winning the GOP nomination are diminishing.  Now we begin to see the true colors of a progressive DC insider who has stepped out from behind his mask.

In the past several days the attachment of Ted Cruz to the GOPe UniParty has been increasingly exposed to sunlight. (more…)

There’s even a title for the movement. It’s called “Ditch and Switch” and calls for lifelong Democrats to abandon the party, register Republican, and help ensure Trump’s place in the general election. (more…)
