CNN / WMUR have produced yet another New Hampshire primary poll (again, full pdf below).  CNN Media apparently desperate to find some glimmer of hope, something, anything, to support the Vulgarian Trump being eliminated.
Alas, the gnashing of teeth commences, no such luck.  “Top Tears”  Donald Trump has gained 15 points since July; Carly Fiorina gained 11 pts, John Kasich gained 5, and both Marco Rubio and Ben Carson gained 3 ( <– whadda surge).

Jeb Bush leads the Biggest Losers with 9 points lost, followed by Rand Paul who is winning in reverse dropping 6.  Methinks that costly check to Kentucky for the super-special Rand Paul only primary may have been for naught.  I digress. (more…)

I doubt Trump needs any advice, he is the master of the deal and he knows these creatures like you know your own friends and family.  However, that said – a part of me wants him to just keep on ignoring Fox.  There is now a wider awakening amid the electorate who are understanding just how deceitful broadcast news is.

(Via Variety) Donald Trump and senior editorial executives at Fox News Channel intend to meet to work out their differences,  according to a statement released Thursday by the 21st Century Fox-owned cable-news outlet.

“Fox News Chairman & CEO Roger Ailes and Donald Trump spoke this morning and plan to have a meeting next week to discuss their differences of opinion regarding Fox’s coverage of Mr. Trump’s presidential campaign. Ailes will be joined by senior Fox editorial executives. Mr. Trump believes he has been treated unfairly in certain instances,” said a Fox News spokesperson via a statement released to media outlets. “Fox News has held every candidate in this race to the highest journalistic standards throughout our coverage. We believe a candid meeting about our differences is required and that any misunderstandings can be handled without compromising those standards.”

This is a really interesting poll from Jacksonville University (full pdf also included below).  It is interesting for several reasons:

• The poll shows the absolute importance/benefit of the original GOPe road map.
• The poll shows there are only FIVE viable candidates for the 99 Winner-Take-ALL primary delegates. (As Previously Outlined)
• This poll shows EXACTLY what is being discussed inside Florida in every single on-the-ground report, every email, and every political forum for high-information Floridians.
• Most importantly this poll shows exactly how the GOPe plan to nominate Jeb Bush.

When you look at this poll, and you remove Donald Trump from the equation, you can see EXACTLY how confident Team Jeb Bush (and Karl) was to the road map they created back in 2014.
A Five-Way race was exactly what the RNC/GOPe envisioned for Florida and this polled result EXACTLY MATCHES what we have previously shared the GOPe predicted 15 months ago.  These results were exactly what their internals were showing.  This result was exactly how they were going to nominate Jeb Bush.  I cannot emphasize this enough.
To understand the importance – we must go BACK to go FORWARD.  Back in the Winter of 2013, during the lead-up to the 2014 mid-term primary race, we found the legislative priorities for Wall Street, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Tom Donohue. (more…)

The Charge of The Vulgarians Continues

The latest Quinnipiac Poll is released today (full pdf format below).  Despite a well coordinated RNC/GOPe strategy, “Operation Hummingbird“, Donald Trump continues to maintain a sizable lead.
Obviously the non-Trump coalition of Establishment Republican Party insiders will seek to parse the polled results and internals continually seeking to diminish the risk represented by Trump to their grip on power.  However, Donald Trump is in the perfect position to eliminate the well planned RNC/GOPe road map to nominate Jeb Bush.

Governor Bobby Jindal had launched the most vitriolic of attacks against Donald Trump and now is polling at ZERO.  Governor George Pataki joined Jindal in his pre and post debate attacks against Trump, and finds himself joining hands with Jindal around a similar tent, ZERO. Over the past month Senator Rand Paul was the third most vitriolic attack dog, and has now dropped to 1%. (more…)

Here’s the South Carolina Townhall event from earlier today with candidate Donald Trump:

Knowing Operation Hummingbird was increasing with exponential frequency – We suspected the full-throated Trump hate would be showcased and polished on Fox News today. In anticipation of this display we sent out the following tweet:

LOL Trump Hater, and Jeb's Salem Media tool, Rich Lowry (NRO) shows up as guest on @megynkelly Go Figure #KellyFile #OperationHummingbird

— TheLastRefuge (@TheLastRefuge2) September 24, 2015

As predicted, we were not disappointed.
Against the backdrop of National Review previously claiming Donald Trump’s comments about Carly Fiorina were “sexist”; tonight on Megyn Kelly NRO editor-in-chief Rich Lowry appeared on the Kelly File with Megyn Kelly.

Look Trump attacks everyone but she’s become a much bigger target. And I think part of what’s going on here is that last debate. Let’s be honest, Carly cut his balls off with the precision of a surgeon.

Notice Megyn Kelly’s gleeful and giddy ‘too-cute-by-half’ reaction.  Now imagine if the same thing was said about a female candidate. (more…)

(Via Bluto) The repeated MEDIA Talking Point:

*Trump has peaked. He’ll slowly fall off and quit. He’s finished….

The Evolution of the MEDIA:

*He won’t run
*He’s not serious
*He has funny hair, we hate funny hair
*Bankruptcy!!! OH NOES! (pretend it’s not legal, mmmkay?)
*He won’t file his candidacy papers
*He’s never held public office. He can’t win.
*He won’t connect with the voters
*He’s finished if he doesn’t apologize to Univision
*He’s finished if he doesn’t apologize to Nascar
*He’s finished if he doesn’t apologize to Macy’s
*He’s finished if he doesn’t apologize to ESPN
*He’s finished if he doesn’t apologize to McCain
*He’s finished if he doesn’t apologize on demand, period.

“Operation Hummingbird” is dependent upon the general Republican electorate/audience and media consumer being swayed by optics and manipulation as a strategy.  In essence full-throated “gaslighting“.
Cutting through that intent and getting to the substance of truth is really not too difficult, but you won’t find many outlets (new media or old) willing to go there.  However, as you are aware for us the Truth Has No Agenda, and Sunlight Is The Best Disinfectant.
We begin by watching this video of Carly Fiorina appearing on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and the discussion of a Muslim candidate eligible as U.S. President:

Just sticking with raw data, and trying to avoid injecting opinion, now consider this: (more…)

Donald Trump appears fully aware of Operation Hummingbird:

.@FoxNews has been treating me very unfairly & I have therefore decided that I won't be doing any more Fox shows for the foreseeable future.

It makes sense for Trump to pull back from Fox.  Murdochs’ (all of them) and Ailes have put themselves so far out on the visible limb of bias there’s no way for anyone within the organization to retain the illusion any longer.   – SEE OPERATION HUMMINGBIRD –
