There is a solid argument to be made that forcing Donald Trump to sign the Republican Pledge was step one in this RNC/GOPe strategy. He’s now locked in the Thunderdome!  
When you fully understand the scope of how the Republican National Committee organized the entire road map to elect Jeb Bush, you begin to understand why Reince Priebus needed to lock the door behind Trump before unleashing the thugs upon him.
Hundreds of millions will be spent on this RNC/GOPe effort to destroy Trump. It will be unlike any scorched earth campaign ever witnessed.  The brutality of the intended targeting is so severe, even the New York Times is willing to broadcast the bloodbath.

New York Times –  Quiet conversations have begun in recent weeks among some of the Republican Party’s biggest donors and normally competing factions, all aimed at a single question: How can we stop Donald Trump?

Republican strategists and donors have assembled focus groups to test negative messages about Mr. Trump. They have amassed dossiers on his previous support for universal health care and higher taxes. They have even discussed the creation of a “super PAC” to convince conservatives that Mr. Trump is not one of them.

The numbers for Jeb Bush in Alabama (5%) reflect a continual downward trend.  The collective polling of all the GOPe candidates (14%) is not even close to Donald Trump.  GRAVIS POLL LINK HERE

(Via Daily Caller)  Front-runner Donald Trump has surged to a nearly 40 percent lead in the latest Alabama Republican primary poll. (more…)

Dear Mr. Trump, look, we’re not smart – we just know the game, we’ve studied it for years.  As such we are able to predict the moves of the players before they visibly display them.

Politics is an industry, a business – an old business; and like all industries there are leaders within that industry who are more influential than others.   Those leaders or industry directors follow the same playbook whenever their grip on political power is threatened.
Right now the directive is to gather information to use against the vulgarian insurgency. In politic-speak it’s called “opposition research”.  Part of the needed data is to collect “soundbites” that can be used to attack the insurgency in the field of public media consumption.
We already know the Jeb Bush Super-PACs are planning to deluge the electorate with anti-Trump messaging within the next several weeks.  Candidate Donald Trump has forewarned his supporters of the impending storm.   However, if we are going to cut it down to brass tacks, it must be accepted the RNC is part of the apparatus that benefits from the removal of Trump.

A new Monmouth University Poll (valid poll for debate determinations) shows Donald Trump crushing Jeb Bush and the GOPe splitter field. The central part of the RNC/GOPe evaluative risk is identified in the following Monmouth Poll paragraph:

[…]  “None of the establishment candidates is having any success in getting an anti-Trump vote to coalesce around them. In fact, any attempt to take on Trump directly only seems to make him stronger.” (link)

Look closely at the collective polling within the GOPe “splitter crew”:

It’s important for political observers to remember that for every poll you see there are dozens of “internal polls”, paid for by the party apparatus and campaigns, that you don’t see.
Many of those are micro-polls on key states, and district-by-district level match-ups. It’s the internals that drive the behavior we later witness from the visible participants in the RNC/GOPe apparatus.  It’s those internals that proactively took Reince Priebus to New York today. (more…)

On August 6th in front of a national audience Donald Trump refused to pledge support for any GOP candidate, and refused to pledge he would not run an independent campaign. In my opinion it was the most publicly brave political act witnessed in the last two decades.

It takes remarkable courage and commitment to principle to stand on the national stage and be the only person to raise your hand.  It would have been easier, more politically favorable, and essentially irrelevant in the long term, for Trump to make the pledge.  But he didn’t, he took the path of principle.  For many, myself included, that moment won Donald Trump the debate.
However, there is now an establishment movement within the GOP to force Republican candidates to sign a loyalty oath.  A report surfaces today that RNC Chair Reince Priebus is meeting with Donald Trump tomorrow at 2pm in New York.  The presumption is that Donald will be asked to take this pledge: (more…)

The MSM no longer even tries to hide their bias when polled results in average America don’t match their narratives.  Turn up the dials – increase the gaslighting.

Two days ago Investors Business Daily published an extensive poll showing 59% of Americans favored forced deportation if needed in order to gain control of illegal immigration.

The latest IBD/TIPP Poll asked 913 adults coast to coast if they “support or oppose mandatory deportation of illegal immigrants in the U.S.” Not surprisingly, 87% of Trump supporters back the proposal.
What’s surprising is that 59% of the overall public does as well. Mandatory deportation gets majority support in all age groups except 18-24, every income group, among both women and men, at every level of educational achievement, and in rural, urban and suburban regions.
More interesting still is the fact that 64% of independents and 55% of moderates support deportation.  (link)

The media went out of their way to ignore the data; it just doesn’t fit the narrative. Quick turn the story around with terra-joules of gaslighting.   (more…)

This is a very good interview. Within this interview you can see and hear the authenticity of the candidate. Perhaps one of the best interviews Trump has ever given.

The key phrase comes at the end of the CNN outline:

“We have discussed these changes with the Republican National Committee […] and they are fully supportive.”

The RNC/GOPe has a transparent vested interest in getting any of the “splitters” onto the primary debate stage.  At this point, the goal has modified from simply reducing the “non-jeb” vote, to a more immediate need of reducing the Donald Trump vote.
(Via Politico)  CNN announced on Tuesday that it has changed the criteria for its upcoming debate, making space for Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina on the primetime stage.
Fiorina had argued for weeks that CNN’s debate criteria unfairly weighted early field leaders over contenders like her who have polled better since the Fox News debate on Aug. 6.
According to CNN, any candidate who ranks in the top 10 between Aug. 6 and Sept. 10 will be included in the primetime debate on Sept. 16. Also allowed in the main show will be candidates who scored in the top 10 averages of all approved national polls between July 16 and Sept. 10, as the original criteria released in May stated. This means it is possible there will be more than 10 candidates on the prime time debate stage. (more…)
