The CNN prime-time debate begins at 8:30pm – It is broadcast on all CNN media outlets and is available HERE:

It is anticipated the CNN approach will be to frame everything around overt and covert attacks against the GOP frontrunner Donald Trump.

Toward that end it makes sense Chris Christie was placed in the prime-time debate as a GOPe/RNC tool.  If the debate qualifications to allow Christie into the prime-time debate had not taken place there would only have been 7 candidates on the stage with Donald Trump.  Both Christie and Rand Paul would have been bumped down.

The latest Public Policy Poll (full pdf below) shows a divergent narrative from the DMR poll of Iowa released two days ago.  The PPP Poll shows Trump on top with Ted Cruz a close second – both double digits above third place Marco Rubio:

With Senator Rand Paul also in a race to keep his Kentucky Senate seat, he is in a precarious political position.  Many anticipate a coming decision to stay in the race or exit in favor of spending additional time in his home state. (more…)

Despite almost everyone agreeing the GOP debates need to be trimmed to the top 5, 6, or 7 – CNN has decided, yet again, to put nine candidates on the prime-time debate stage and four remain at the lower-tier debate.

(Rand Paul previously hinted that if he was not on the prime-time stage he would withdraw):

(Via CNN) […]  CNN’s debate, which will be held in Las Vegas and is the fifth of the primary season, is the first to use early-state polls as a way to make the main event in prime-time. Candidates must meet one of three criteria in polls conducted between October 29 and December 13 and recognized by CNN: an average of at least 3.5% nationally; at least 4% in Iowa; or at least 4% in New Hampshire.

He just keeps growing – and Growing – and GROWING.  A single candidate waging war against the entire political and media apparatus.  His simple objective: Put America First.

Donald Trump is absolutely crushing the field in the latest poll from South Carolina (full pdf below).  With an additional Fox caveat – Trump’s poll numbers are actually even larger, around 38%+, since his statement asking for a temporary pause on Muslim Immigration:

The entire media and political apparatus both Democrats and Republicans are in full meltdown mode over the scope of support Donald Trump carries.  Yet nothing they try has any effect on diminishing his support.

Donald Trump carries two golden arrows in his masterfully constructed quiver:

♦ The first is TRUTH – he always shines light upon uncomfortable truth – simple truth known by the electorate and yet hidden by those who benefit from power.

♦ The second is his agenda – Trump’s only agenda is what’s in America’s best interest. Period. Nothing further.

Unafraid of the Truth; unafraid to own the downside to all of his positions; and only thinking about what’s in America’s best interest – no other candidate can compete. (more…)

The real reason Chris Christie is targeting Donald Trump for his position on radical Islam is outlined within this earlier video.   You’ll note the media dropped coverage of Muslims celebrating in New Jersey as soon as the San Bernardino terrorist attacks took place.

Chris Christie was the N.J. region U.S. Attorney General at the time discussed within this video.   This CBS broadcast is from New Jersey.  The truth of the 2001/2002 era represents an uncomfortable risk to Christie:

Now compare Chris Christie’s previous obfuscations and avoidance to: (more…)
