Listed below is a comparative graph, (from FEC records), showing the number of people on the campaign payrolls of: Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump over the past thirteen months:
Obviously there are a few interpretations possible for what this data signifies. However, two of the more obvious points would be:
- Two of the three candidates represented have never held executive management responsibility in the private sector where they needed to worry about labor efficiency.
- Two of the three candidates have never needed to make a payroll, or be personally accountable for the financial viability of their endeavors. Their only budget familiarity is spending other peoples money.
It is not too challenging to identify which two candidates would be unfamiliar with labor costs, budgeting and efficiency. In addition which candidate do you think would be more apt to focus on the elimination of bloated bureaucratic government, and waste?

After a one hour meeting with Bernie Sanders today, President Obama officially endorsed Hillary Clinton via the release of a well produced video.
However, White House spokesman Josh Earnest accidentally let it slip the video was recorded last Tuesday – BEFORE California, New Jersey, Montana, New Mexico and South Dakota even held their primary elections.
The “D’oh” moment is at the end of this video clip:
Yes, it appears the scripted Associated Press release on Monday and the White House recording on Tuesday is the final evidence Bernie was never going to be allowed. Earnest admitting the endorsement video was recorded before the votes being counted on Tuesday is just salt in an open wound.
The reality of a rehearsed, produced, and heavily scripted roll out of Hillary Clinton as the presumptive nominee is yet another example of how Senator Bernie Sanders never stood a chance. The professional DNC machine was always going to anoint Hillary Clinton.

Last week we shared a Georgia poll release from PPP and provided the following prediction:
The DNC will be expending considerable defensive resources in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin already because Trump is polling very strong in those previously uncontested blue states. Look for PPP to focus attention toward FL and OH/PA next. –link–
As we predicted, yesterday PPP released a poll of Florida voters, and now today the latest PPP Poll (full pdf below) shifts to Pennsylvania. In the Keystone state Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are currently tied according to this release.
Public Policy Polling surveyed 1,106 registered voters from June 3rd to 5th. The margin of error is +/3.0%. 80% of participants, selected through a list based sample, responded via the phone, while 20% of respondents who did not have landlines conducted the survey over the internet through an opt-in internet panel. Unfortunately the poll under samples independent voters. [ Democrat 49%, Republican 40%, and Independent only 11% ]. And the source of the voter list is undisclosed.
With those methodology details provided, and given this release was conducted three days ago, yet timed to occur on the day after the primary voting, unfortunately this poll should most accurately be considered an agenda poll intended to manipulate a political media narrative – provided for MSM use and public consumption.
Further evidence of the agenda polling can be noted in the data, as delivered, appears intended to undermine/underestimate Bernie Sanders support – and the published editorial focuses on the same aspect. Hence, take with a grain of salt.

Good News and Bad News for Bernie Sanders supporters.
The Bad News was the predictable MSM marginalization of Senator Sanders ongoing challenge to the anointed candidate of the DNC, Hillary Clinton. The intentional delays in the various party secretaries of state conveniently slowing vote totals so they could best frame the Hillary prime-time optics was entirely predictable, and only missing the Kasich style confetti.
The good news is Senator Sanders is apparently fully aware of the machinations, and took to the stage at 1:30am to deliver a message antithetical to the Clinton acolytes and sycophants in the main stream media. Bernie vowed to continue on to the Washington DC primary and all the way to Philadelphia.
The media response? Spontaneous ‘splodey heads erupted all night. (more…)

After presenting the recent Georgia Poll, and explaining the reason for the focus on Georgia specifically, we predicted where the left-leaning PPP pollsters would follow-up.
“Look for PPP to focus attention toward FL and OH/PA next.” – link
Today that prediction proved accurate as PPP shifted attention to Florida (full pdf below) and surveyed 737 registered voters from June 2nd to June 5th. In addition to sensing the electorate, the industrial political media are trying to frame an election approach, a very specific narrative. However, the results they find keep running counter to their desire:
Not only does Donald Trump edge out Hillary Clinton with current Florida polling, but the cross tabs of the demographics destroy two very specific media narratives:
- Female voters have a higher unfavorability opinion of Hillary Clinton that Donald Trump by a margin of 56% to 55%.
- Female Voters support Donald Trump (45%) over Hillary Clinton (44%) by the same margin as the general electorate result. 45/44
In addition 14% of registered Democrats support Donald Trump. Conversely only 9% of registered republicans would support Hillary Clinton. (more…)

A New York Times journalist interrupted candidate Bernie Sanders as he tried to call on another reporter during a press conference.
The intentional interruption was targeted for the current media cycle by repeatedly asking the Vermont senator how he’d address all women who say he is acting sexist for standing in the way of Clinton becoming the first female presidential nominee in American history.
While it is difficult to determine who the questioner is [ADD: It was New York Times Reporter Yamiche Alcindor Pictured above] from the audio of the press conference, the exact question was this:
“What do you say to women … What do you say to women who say that you staying in the race is sexist because you are standing in the way of what would be the first female president”?
If Bernie was quicker on his feet he could have quickly replied: Is Hillary Clinton anti-Semitic because she stands in the way of what might be the first Jewish president?
Alas, an opportunity missed. (more…)
