Emotion, Polls and Politics….

Ignore the last two Fox News polls being pushed today – FLORIDA HERE and OHIO HERE – You’ll note the architect of both polls is “Shaw and Company Research”.

The “Shaw” in Shaw and Company is Daron Shaw, a former operative of the Rick Perry campaign and entrenched political PR consultant for the DC GOPe apparatus.  Both of these polls are “agenda polls”; the professional political apparatus are trying desperately to influence the election and create a media narrative.

It is doubtful the numbers on Trump, Rubio or Kasich are accurately represented in either data-set.   Yes, Donald Trump is doing very well against the severely collapsing campaign of Marco Rubio in Florida.  However, it is difficult to measure given current events.

With NBC/WSJ It’s Not Polling, It’s “Gaslighting” – Media Manipulation: The Latest Version…

mark murrayThe latest media narrative “Donald Trump Cannot Beat Hillary Clinton” and “Donald Trump support Dropping”, is being spurred by another NBC/Wall Street Journal poll being pushed – yet again – by NBC political director Mark Murray.

On February 17th we completely deconstructed the ridiculous methodology being deployed in the agenda polls –SEE HERE–  What the general audience continually seems to overlook is the source of the information.

Here’s another screengrab of the latest “poll” being pushed by NBC/WSJ (the full pdf is here).  Look closely at the origin of the information.

What you’ll see is: “Hart Research Associates / Public Opinion Strategies” these are not political polling firms.  These are public relations firms.  You can go here to see the origin of the data, and you can GO HERE to see the clients they service.  (more…)

A Disconcerting Tripwire – What Carly Fiorina Endorsing Ted Cruz Really Means…

Trying to explain the significance of the last few days, in relationship to the Ted Cruz candidacy, requires the intellectually honest observer to recognize and/or accept the increasingly likely probability: we have been facing a manufactured “false dilemma” longer than most may be willing to accept.

“False Dilemma” – the fallacy of false choice, or the fallacy of the false alternative, is a type of informal fallacy involving a situation in which only limited alternatives are considered, when in fact there is at least one additional option.

In essence, presidential candidate Ted Cruz has been presented, by those who gain leverage in the presentation, as an option – to the previous “establishment candidates“.

Under this assumption, the intent of the option (Cruz) is to block the observer (electorate / us) from considering any additional alternative which remains outside the control of the presenting entity (the DC power brokers, GOPe, Wall Street donor class).

In order to recognize the fallacy of false choice, the audience must engage the new  information while reevaluating their prior assumption, positions and options.

That said, Team Cruz has shown new evidence of being much further aligned with the GOPe than most political observers, and high-information voters, might be willing to accept.

Here’s why: (more…)

Post Mini-Tuesday Election Night Debrief – “The Kitchen Sink Missed”…

trump smile 3No single candidate has ever faced such intense vitriol as we have seen in the past week against Donald Trump.  The entire DC based professional political apparatus has thrown everything, including the kitchen sink, at him.   Trump’s still standing, because WE are still standing. Steadfast, at his six!

The GOPe attack, led by Mitt Romney, is running into the reality of the electorate.  We are wise to their schemes and tricks.  The Rebel Alliance is well positioned and controlling the geography.

Let’s take a look at last night, state by state:

Michigan – Three intensely wonderful results.  ♦ First, Donald Trump wins with around 37% of the vote in a state that is very in tune with the message of how important it is to destroy the TPP trade deal; and how Donald Trump is the definitive candidate to restructure the manufacturing base and save the middle-class blue collar base.
