If there was a bad day to skip (and reschedule) a campaign event in New Hampshire, today was that day.  In advance of the debate tomorrow every GOP candidate is on-the-ground today in the Granite State.  All except Donald Trump.

The professionally republican are prepared to launch ‘next-in-line’ Jeb Bush and revitalize his campaign.  If you have spent even a modest amount of time following the evolution of the GOPe you will note their vitriol and hatred knows no boundaries when their power structures are threatened.

The GOPe will destroy any entity who does not acquiesce to their leadership.  The GOPe have built the political structures that all other candidates must enter to run a campaign.  Those who built this house would rather destroy it, to save it, than allow the vulgar unwashed masses to operate within it.

Smaller discussion venue with questions from the audience.

Former candidate Rick Santorum discusses why he endorsed Senator Marco Rubio for president of the United States.

Watch: …something about “potential“….

A single term 45-year-old Senator with no executive experience, no legislative accomplishments, four kids, no accumulated wealth or financial security, and he is qualified to be president of the United States because he has, well, ‘potential‘.

Seriously?

(Via Washington Examiner) Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., charged the Obama administration with quietly signing the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement in New Zealand, and said the White House tried to minimize it because it knows the public isn’t pleased with the deal.

“A trade deal is a contract, and it must be one that puts American workers’ interests first, not the interests of global elites,” Sessions said in a statement. “It is little surprise the administration is not showcasing today’s signing given its unpopularity with the American people.”

Sessions went on to bash his fellow senators for allowing the president to fast-track the deal last June, and voting for it despite not knowing what the massive agreement would include. (read 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 †

This is NOT about Carly Fiorina, this is entirely about how blazingly stupid the professional republican party is. Well, actually, “Willfully blind” is perhaps more apropos.

There are essentially eight candidates left in the GOP race: Trump, Cruz, Rubio, Bush, Christie, Carson, Kasich, and Fiorina.  ABC announces their debate and SEVEN are going to be on the New Hampshire debate stage.

Who is missing?  Carly Fiorina.

Now before everyone jumps into the ‘she-doesn’t-deserve-it’ argument, or any variant therein, let me repeat – THIS IS NOT ABOUT CARLY FIORINA.  This is entirely about the preferred narrative of ABC and democrat activist, debate moderator, and Clinton foundation leadership member, George Stephanopoulos.

Watching the media talking about why Chris Christie has such a harsh tone toward Marco Rubio is actually quite funny.  The role of Christie in the GOPe larger political scheme has ALWAYS been to use him as the junk yard dog.

It is, quite simply, his job.

Do you need to go back to Christies’ time as head of the Republican Governors Association and remind yourself when the DC based GOPe apparatus was furious at Scott Walker?… Walker was facing a recall, Christie was given instructions to let him hang, and the RGA sat by doing next to nothing.   This was DC-based punishment for the Tea Party kicking out the chosen GOPe candidates.  Destroying their internal adversaries is what the Old Guard does best.

Important to note, before these video’s surfaced Mark Levin was saying there is no such constitutional right as “birthright citizenship”.  However, given the contrarian position of his candidate, perhaps someone could ask Levin now – he’s probably evolved too.

Senator Ted Cruz entire campaign, much like the credibility of Mark Levin, is built around his claim as “the most consistent conservative”.

The topic is “birthright citizenship”:
