Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton held events at the University of New Hampshire this past weekend.  Hillary’s crowd was around 300-350; two days later Bernie Sanders held his event in the same venue drawing 3,000+

This really doesn’t come as a surprise because prior polling indicated that Sanders had taken a substantial lead in New Hampshire.
But the story goes beyond Bernie Sanders drawing a crowd ten times the size of Hillary Clinton.   (more…)

Update: Video of Scott Walker’s message as he bows out.  Profoundly promoting the RNC/GOPe party message, and selling Jeb Bush:

(@02:33) …”Today, I believe that I am being called to lead by helping to clear the field in this race so that a positive conservative message can rise to the top of the field. With this in mind I will suspend my campaign immediately. I encourage other republican presidential candidates to consider doing the same, so that the voters can focus on a limited number of candidates who can offer a positive conservative alternative to the current frontrunner. This is fundamentally important to the future of the party, and more importantly to the future of our country”…

Perhaps people will understand now why we long ago stopped supporting Scott Walker; and why we stated back on July 13th that Scott Walker had become part of the GOPe party apparatus writ large:

Yes, if the Walker Campaign has Brad Dayspring as the Communications Director – you can be 100% GUARANTEED the establishment GOP (Tom Donohue) has him [Walker]  there as part of the entire construct to control the primary election outcome.

Yes, yet again, as ABSOLUTELY PREDICTED, the grand plan is once more affirmed. (link)

There hasn’t been any good news for Scott Walker in the past month of polling cycles.
(Via Forbes) Real estate mogul Trump has widened his lead to 20 points in a brand new Zogby Analytics poll taken after the second Republican presidential debate. The new poll of 405 likely Republican primary/caucus voters nationwide with a margin of sampling error of +/- 5.0 percentage points, conducted September 18-19, shows Mr. Trump with 33% (up 2 points from his pre-debate 31%).

In second place is neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson who actually dropped 3 points to 13%. Former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, widely considered to be the big winner in the debate, moved up from just 2% last week to 7% and fourth place in the new poll – just 2 points behind former Florida Governor Jeb Bush’s 9% (which is exactly where he was last week).

Update – Post publication it’s pointed out the date on the NR article is 2014.  However, the date of the RNC rule meetings (pdf below) we gained was 2015. The original NR article written based on RNC meeting of January ’14.

A National Review article containing what we have been outlining and discussing for several months.  Rules instituted to BLOCK CONSERVATIVES, favor the party apparatus, and create a road map for the GOPe chosen candidate, JEB BUSH.
Allow me a moment to confirm the brutally obvious.

Were it not for Donald Trump – and supporters who are no longer willing to be co-dependents to their own diminishment, finding a pathway to defeat the RNC scheme – the GOPe road map to nominate Jeb would be successful.

At the bottom of the article we will once again put the pdf formats of the rule changes into place. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
(Via NRO) Conservatives often lament their inability to nominate one of their own for president. Almost unnoticed, the RNC made some changes to the party rules that could make it even harder in 2016. One change in particular could make it virtually impossible for a movement candidate to become the 2016 nominee. (more…)

Here is a report, just received from Menagerie:

“He’s out! In recovery, heart rhythm appears to be normal. All reports were positive during surgery. The hole was very large. Alex and David will get to be with him within the hour.
All prayers answered. Much gratitude!”

Menagerie also said:

You may have noticed my mention of the verse in Corinthians – faith, hope, love – and how it has surfaced in my thoughts and memories in my comments these last few days.  This photo is from the chapel here at the children’s hospital at Vanderbilt.  I sought it out to say my rosary, and this message was here for me.

Four and a half years ago current candidate Donald Trump gave the following interview:

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 †

I believe this is the Q&A that has created a stir:

The professional power brokers who make up the RNC/GOPe “establishment” would rather see Hillary Clinton win an election, allowing them to remain in their power position, than to lose their place at the trough via a “conservative” or “outsider” who would take the executive branch and possibly remove their power.
