Last week a leaked GOPe seven page strategy memo surfaced outlining the Republican anxiety with the support of Donald Trump. One section of the memo stated:
…”[…] Trump Can Hit the Right Chord – We may not like it, but Trump has connected with voters on issues like trade with China and America’s broken borders”…. (memo pdf)
Yes, the officials within the Republican party “don’t like” the fact candidate Donald “Trump has connected with voters”. For the GOPe the goal is always to connect with the professional political class (Wall Street, K-Street, Lobbyists, Donors) not those pesky unwashed masses called, “voters” – yuck.
You might remember several weeks ago Mitt Romney said “they would take out” Donald Trump by December 15th. Romney never defined “they”, but you can look at the quote above and get a pretty good idea who “they” are. Kasich kicked off the GOPe attacks, and immediately saw his own poll numbers in New Hampshire collapse.
And so today the second charge begins…. Many people mocked our prior presentation when we stated months ago (numerous times) that Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio supporters will vote for Hillary Clinton if they do not win the nomination. Here’s further evidence in that regard:

“If I have a choice — and you can put it in bold — if I have a choice between Trump and Hillary Clinton, I’m choosing Hillary,” Miami healthcare magnate Mike Fernandez told the Miami Herald on Friday. “She’s the lesser of two evils.” (more…)

Director James Comey has a 10 year term. He is, by nature of his position, not dependent on approvals of the White House for his positions on events. As such the FBI is protected somewhat from President Obama’s ideological politicization of all controversial events – yet he still needs to walk a tenuous tightrope.
Here is yesterday’s statement:
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 †
At today’s campaign rally in Raleigh, NC, YouTube stars and Trump supporters Lynnette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson (aka Diamond and Silk) of the popular YouTube channel ‘The Viewers View’, join Donald Trump on stage!
The poll reflects Trump’s dominance over the rest of the field on the issues voters deem most important to them. He holds massive margins over other Republicans as the candidate most trusted to handle the economy (at 55%, Trump stands 46 percentage points over his nearest competitor), the federal budget (51%, up 41 points), illegal immigration (48%, up 34 points), ISIS (46%, up 31 points) and foreign policy (30%, up 13 points).
