Keeping Them Honest – National campaign spokeswoman Katrina Pierson appeared on CNN today and delivered an exceptional push-back interview in promotion of presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Today CBS aired a Friday interview with Donald Trump. There are two videos of the interview below; the first is the interview segment as it aired on CBS broadcast, the second is the full 17+ minute “extended cut” interview.
Candidate Donald Trump absolutely nails these interviews: “Vigilance”

During a pre-rally press conference today in Iowa a reporter asks Donald Trump about the San Bernadino terrorists, framing the question that Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik were “regular people“. (Video prompted to 02:18)

Last week a leaked GOPe seven page strategy memo surfaced outlining the Republican anxiety with the support of Donald Trump. One section of the memo stated:
…”[…] Trump Can Hit the Right Chord – We may not like it, but Trump has connected with voters on issues like trade with China and America’s broken borders”…. (memo pdf)
Yes, the officials within the Republican party “don’t like” the fact candidate Donald “Trump has connected with voters”. For the GOPe the goal is always to connect with the professional political class (Wall Street, K-Street, Lobbyists, Donors) not those pesky unwashed masses called, “voters” – yuck.
You might remember several weeks ago Mitt Romney said “they would take out” Donald Trump by December 15th. Romney never defined “they”, but you can look at the quote above and get a pretty good idea who “they” are. Kasich kicked off the GOPe attacks, and immediately saw his own poll numbers in New Hampshire collapse.
And so today the second charge begins…. Many people mocked our prior presentation when we stated months ago (numerous times) that Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio supporters will vote for Hillary Clinton if they do not win the nomination. Here’s further evidence in that regard:
(Miami Herald) One of Florida’s biggest conservative Republican moneymen — and a billionaire backer of Jeb Bush — is so disgusted by Donald Trump’s candidacy that if he has to, he’ll do the unthinkable:
“If I have a choice — and you can put it in bold — if I have a choice between Trump and Hillary Clinton, I’m choosing Hillary,” Miami healthcare magnate Mike Fernandez told the Miami Herald on Friday. “She’s the lesser of two evils.” (more…)

A new CNN/ORC Poll today (full pdf below) shows Donald Trump has taken a commanding lead over the rest of the field. An interesting aspect to this poll, it is almost identical to a November 19th Reuters/IPSOS result that CNN and other media sought to dispute at the time. At the time we called it a “Tripwire Poll” in part because it showed Cruz and Rubio unelectable with independent minded voters; and the conformational results today reflect how prescient that declaration actually was:
The poll reflects Trump’s dominance over the rest of the field on the issues voters deem most important to them. He holds massive margins over other Republicans as the candidate most trusted to handle the economy (at 55%, Trump stands 46 percentage points over his nearest competitor), the federal budget (51%, up 41 points), illegal immigration (48%, up 34 points), ISIS (46%, up 31 points) and foreign policy (30%, up 13 points).

…The Republican nominee for president will be that candidate who best learns that there is no future in apologizing…

A new PPP Poll (full pdf here) from New Hampshire shows the influence of structural GOPe machinations -via corporate media- onto an electorate. Carson – dropping, Rubio – static, Cruz – lifted, Kasich – collapsing, and Christie – surging:
(Via PPP Analysis ) – PPP’s new New Hampshire poll finds Donald Trump’s position in the state pretty much unchanged compared to six weeks ago. He leads with 27% to 13% for Ted Cruz, 11% for Marco Rubio, 10% for Chris Christie, 9% for Ben Carson, 8% for John Kasich, 6% for Carly Fiorina, 5% for Jeb Bush, and 4% for Rand Paul. Rounding out the field in the 1% or less club are Mike Huckabee, George Pataki, and Rick Santorum each at 1%, and Lindsey Graham and Jim Gilmore with less than 1%. (more…)
