We suspected, heck, anyone could see it was brutally obvious, that CNN was running cover to protect the optics of Bernie Sanders getting a same venue audience last weekend TEN TIMES greater than Hillary Clinton.

Both Clinton and Sanders held events two days apart -last weekend- at the campus of The University of New Hampshire.  Clinton had 300 attendees, Sanders had 3,000.

First thing Monday Morning (6am 9/21/15)  CNN blasts out a poll showing Clinton leading Sanders 42 to 24.

Clinton's lead in Democratic race grows, CNN/ORC poll shows. If Biden stays out of race, her numbers would rise more. http://t.co/3SO5rPyuG2

Transparently predictable political maneuvering.  With Joe Biden about to enter race and Bernie Sanders dominating from the left – Hillary throws elbows:

“I was in a unique position as secretary of State at the start of this process. And not wanting to interfere with ongoing decision making that the president and Sec. Kerry have to do in order to make whatever final decisions they need. So I thought this would be decided by now, and therefore I could tell you whether I agree or disagree, but it hasn’t been decided and I feel now I’ve got a responsibility to you and voters who ask me about this. I think it is imperative that we look at the Keystone Pipeline as what I believe it is, a distraction from important work we have to do on climate change. And unfortunately from my perspective, one that interferes with our ability to move forward with all the other issues. Therefore I oppose it. “ (link)

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…)

Jeb was in Michigan.  On Mackinac Island campaigning with his teammate Carly Fiorina.  Then this happened:

D’oh Jeb.  Just, well, D’oh !…. 

The latest sunlight onto an increasingly obvious RNC/GOPe scheme comes from the most unlikely source, POLITICO, who highlight their article Wall Street’s Latest Panic.
In very direct ways their article cuts to the very heart of the matter – Wall Street cannot fathom a Donald Trump candidacy – They Planned For JEB! 

However, this reality is still met by people who refuse to accept the overall system we call modern 2016 Presidential Politics is entirely the construct of financial stakeholders who have financed, and in 2014 constructed, a political road map for Clinton/Bush 2016.
We still find people who don’t understand the basic element behind this truth:

Jeb Bush is Wall Street, Donald Trump is Main Street !

NEW YORK — Wall Street is growing increasingly terrified that Donald Trump — once viewed as an amusing summertime distraction — could actually win the Republican nomination for president. (more…)

The latest YouGov/CBS Poll shows Bernie Sanders now blitzing Hillary Clinton in Iowa and New Hampshire.  Sanders Leading by 22 points in New Hampshire and 10 points in Iowa.
[…]  The new poll finds Sen. Sanders with 52% support among Democratic primary voters in New Hampshire, while former Secretary of State Clinton, long considered the front-runner for the 2016 Democratic nomination, receives 30%. Recent polls have shown Sanders’ lead growing in the Granite State, but this would be the first to show the Vermont Senator over 50%.

Possibly more worrying for the Clinton campaign is her performance in Iowa, where Sanders now leads by 10 points, with 43% to Clinton’s 33%.
Until recently Clinton had retained an edge in Iowa, the other first-in-the-nation voting state along with New Hampshire. A recent CNN/ORC poll found the pair tied among likely Iowa caucus voters. (more)

A general conversation, and series of questions, has begun amid readers who understand the RNC/GOPe road map and subsequent scheme.  Essentially the question is becoming:

“what will the GOPe do regarding their ongoing onslaught to eliminate Donald Trump, if Trump becomes inevitable”?

The answer to that question is fraught with possibilities. However, as a general rule, crossing the Rubicon of inevitability will not change the present course. Here’s why:
Any predictive review must generally reflect upon the “bigger picture” and interests of those who ultimately framed, and continue to finance, the original outline – those interests are Wall Street interests. So before answering the question, you must first remember what they constructed.

There are ten candidates specifically part of the Jeb Bush nomination map.  Not seventeen, TEN!
They are:  ♦ Jeb Bush ♦ – Marco Rubio, Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee, Chris Christie, John Kasich, Rick Perry, Lindsey Graham, George Pataki, Jim Gilmore and previously, Rick Perry (anticipate the Perry endorsement and PAC $ headed for Bush).
Each of the aforementioned can be tied to relationships, behavior and specific action in 2014 which reflects their association to the scheme.  Therefore they are in the definitive category – See Here.
That leaves Jindal, Paul, Walker, Santorum, Carson, Cruz and obviously Trump. Excluding Trump, there was nothing in 2014 which would *specifically* tie them *directly* to the road map, therefore we have never aligned them with the group of Jeb party insiders.
[*NOTE* Only those who we could actually and provably identify the motives for, were given the designation of “splitters“.  All others were granted the benefit of doubt.] (more…)

Yes, THAT Deray McKesson…

(Via Campus Reform) Deray McKesson, one of the most vocal leaders of the #BlackLivesMatter movement, will be teaching a one credit course at Yale Divinity School this fall as a guest lecturer.
McKesson, whom the university describes as a “civil rights activist and social media leader” will teach a course titled “Transformational Leadership in the #BlackLivesMatter Movement,” as part of Yale Divinity School’s “ Transformational Leadership for Church and Society” program.
“A young leader of the Black Lives Matter Movement,” a syllabus for the course reads, “DeRay McKesson will present case studies about the work of organizing, public advocacy, civil disobedience, and social change, through both Leadership of Presence, and Leadership in the Social Media.” (more…)

After taking the lead in New Hampshire this week (49-38), now Bernie Sanders takes the lead in Iowa (41-40).  Despite the Poll financiers continuing to prop up Hillary’s diminishing support by placing Joe Biden in every poll result over the last two weeks, Bernie Sanders now takes the lead in Iowa State polling.
Removing the Biden Paradox, the actual polls reflect an even more damaging reality for Team Clinton.   Wall Street releasing apoplectic tears, MSM trying desperately to avoid the looming consequence.

(Via Quinipiac) In a come-from-behind rally, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont is the choice of 41 percent of Iowa likely Democratic Caucus participants, with 40 percent picking former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and 12 percent backing Vice President Joseph Biden, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

If you can’t dazzle em’ with brilliance, baffle em’ with b– s— !

Reuters is declaring today that Hillary Clinton is proposing a new platform plank, ‘campaign finance reform‘, to rescue her increasingly flailing candidacy.
However, as much as I detest writing about Clinton, this proposal is so fraught with nonsense it deserves to be highlighted.

Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton will propose a slate of campaign finance reform measures on Tuesday aimed at limiting political donations by corporations and large donors and increasing transparency in election spending.
Clinton, who is seeking the nomination to be the Democratic candidate in the November 2016 presidential election, identified measures she would pursue if she becomes president.
