In what they call a “Reuters Exclusive” the news agency tries to undermine Donald Trump’s candidacy because Trump businesses have used H-2B Visa applications to hire workers. This is an absolute joke, we’ll explain why.
Why this is a nothingburger – Those unfamiliar with the South Florida general labor market are most likely unfamiliar with the extreme swings in “seasonal need” workers.
Does the word “Snowbird” ring a bell? Florida has a “tourist season” which runs from (generally speaking) just after Thanksgiving to Easter annually. January, February and March are the peak. The first Monday in February is the absolute peak as almost every time-share and hotel unit flips that week.
The volume of work within the service and hospitality industry doubles during the tourist season, and those businesses who hire within the general labor market struggle to increase their labor in relationship to the increase in business. In addition, local workers looking for employment are reluctant to take temporary or “seasonal” jobs, and prefer longer term -more stable- employment.
Many businesses need to double, or in some cases triple, their workforce in order to meet the business demand. [In 2014 97,300,000 tourists visited Florida]. (more…)
Tonight the tenth GOP primary season debate takes place in Houston Texas. CNN is hosting the debate along with Telemundo and Salem Communications.The debate is taking place University of Houston’s Moores Opera Center, an 800-seat venue.
Wolf Blitzer will be the primary debate moderator, and questions will come from Hugh Hewitt (Salem Communications mouthpiece – and Rubio Supporter), CNN’s Dana Bash, and also notably Telemundo’s Maria Celeste Arraras who will try to frame Trump as a bigoted racist (per those closest to her).
The line-up is: (from left to right facing the stage): Dr Ben Carson, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Donald Trump (center), Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
When the professional pundits and the chattering class speak of Marco Rubio possibly winning Florida they are completely oblivious to reality. Floridians have a very specific disdain for Marco Rubio based on his self-serving backstabbing of his own constituency. The anger is personal, deep, widespread and will never go away.
Forget Senator Rubio. Marco Rubio doesn’t stand a chance in Florida, he won’t even carry his own home county because he’s never there. This latest Quinnipiac poll (full pdf below) merely confirms what is obvious to those who live there and talk to their neighbors. This sentiment is top of state to bottom, and coast to coast.
However, what is even more amazing than the weakness of Rubio and strength of Trump, is when you ask evangelicals who they would NEVER SUPPORT…. they say, Ted Cruz. This is absolute affirmation of what we’ve continually pointed out as the non-discussed flaw in Cruz’s overall campaign. (more…)
Note to interested audience – never trust Neil Cavuto. Mr. Cavuto is indebted, personally, to Rupert Murdoch (a dangerous debt).
Meanwhile, Mike Huckabee has ridden off the party range to join the insurgency; and those he leaves behind are jealous…. very jealous.
We really can’t do much more than to point out the continuing Modus Operandi of those within the political polling world who carry such brutally obvious agendas they are transparently predictable. Enter Monmouth University pollster Patrick Murray:
modus operandi (m.o.) [(moh-duhs op-uh-ran-dee, op-uh-ran-deye)] The way someone does something; a characteristic method:
This specific pollster, who previously proclaimed Ben Carson was going to win North Carolina, then Iowa, etc. has been thoroughly debunked and deconstructed. See HERE and See HERE – We’re not going to spend any more energy on his nonsense.
Well, it’s game over. When it comes to the Southern Border Wall, Donald Trump has officially won the argument; the rest is just details.
This is what winning looks like folks!
Why do we say this? Because what’s not written in this story is the Mexican political leadership arguing about the viability of the Southern Security Wall being built. They have conceded the most important aspect.
The argument has moved beyond ‘will the wall be built’, and now is focusing on ‘who is going to pay for it‘. The media will skip noticing that little nuance.
In an interview Thursday with Jorge Ramos on Fusion, former Mexican president Vicente Fox responds to Donald Trump’s plan to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexican border.
“I’m not going to pay for that fucking wall! He should pay for it. He’s got the money,” Fox said. (read more)
There is only one political enterprise occupying our nations capitol. Many people call that enterprise “the UniParty”. Succinct in both description and accuracy, the UniParty members live very well within a fortified and defended castle we call DC.
Within the UniParty there are factions, each with their own flag. One flag represented by a Donkey, the other represented by an elephant. Life inside the DC castle is very good, there are infinite indulgences – both factions enjoy it very much.
There’s not much difference between the two factions when they are inside the castle, and any visitor will attest to an impossibility in determining who’s on whose side. However, when they travel outside the castle they must keep up appearances, and seem entirely divergent from each other.
They wear different colors when outside the walls, to make sure there’s an entirely distinct optic presented for those who don’t live in the castle. It’s a rather unusual game to follow.
I know from the comments section many people have discussed how bizarre the recent ravings of Rush Limbaugh have become. However, I had not spent time listening to them, until this happened.
As far as I can tell this was actually broadcast by Rush Limbaugh yesterday. To say he’s contracted a viral strain of election cycle cognitive dissonance would be a severe understatement. Listen to this logic:
If Ted Cruz wants to win he’s got to focus exclusively on attacking Trump. Why? Because Cruz has to realize Marco Rubio is not going to drop out. If Rubio is not going to drop out, Rubio is not the obstacle – Trump is…
A recent Texas poll of 1,531 “registered voters” and 1,293 “likely voters” shows Ted Cruz and Donald Trump essentially tied. Ted Cruz being more successful in West Texas, and Donald Trump being more successful in North Texas. If Senator Ted Cruz loses Texas, his candidacy is effectively over – that’s why he’s campaigning in Texas right now.
DALLAS – Six days before Super Tuesday, Ted Cruz and Donald Trump are now tied in Texas, according to a new public opinion poll commissioned by WFAA-TV.
Cruz and Trump both had 32 percent support from likely and actual GOP primary voters, with a 3.9 percent margin of error.
It is the most recent survey of Texas voters and the first one to show Cruz no longer leading in his home state.
“He’s fading,” said Cal Jillson, professor of political science at Southern Methodist University, of Ted Cruz’s candidacy. “Trump has proven to be stronger and more resilient than anyone expected.” (more…)
