Regardless of whether you support or hate Donald Trump, the transparency of the Fox agenda was brutally evident from the outset. Even Instapundit, who is not the least bit friendly toward the Trump campaign, noted:

I was particularly disappointed with the ridiculous “gotcha!” questions posed by Megyn Kelly and Chris Wallace. Can Fox News please focus on the issues and not try to play favorites.

The opening question, the insufferable “will you make a pledge” question, was specifically targeted to put Donald Trump on the outside.
Remember what I previously said about the goal of Isolation through division and fear? Yeah, that.  Well, every bit of it played out exactly as was predicted – REVIEW Before Watching DEBATE RE-RUN.
Here’s the debate TRANSCRIPT and Here’s video of the debate.

Yeah, biased much.

How do you “mistakenly” not picture the FRONTRUNNER ?   But media bias is a myth right?  (Link)

Given the transparent, albeit predictable, bias brutally evident in last nights debate, I’m going to leave this stuck to the top of the page for half the day.

In Part ONE I explained why Donald Trump’s candidacy was essentially a “nothing to lose” decision for conservatives, because all paths lead to Jeb Bush.
In Part TWO I explained why there is a severity within my position.
Here in Part THREE, as requested, I’ll expand for those who remain critical; and for those who are finding themselves called out as “ridiculous” for having the audacity to present such a non-traditional approach.
Starting with an actual defense (via comment) left by someone who presents the counter argument to my position of the GOP needing to be torn down.  The counter-argument encapsulates many traditional political followers. Here is their point:

First of all, there a difference between the GOP and the Democrats. If there had been a GOP president instead of Obama, we would not have Obamacare, or all the regulations he’s issued, or all the idiotic DOJ civil rights investigations, or the two liberal SC justices he has appointed (which in turn lead to liberal SC decisions for years to come).
Second of all, destroying the GOP as it exists today will only lead to a smaller minority party which will never win a presidential contest, and probably gift the Democrats with permanent control of Congress.
Finally, Donald Trump wrote in 2000 that he favored a single-payer healthcare system like Canada, and told O’Reilly in 2012 that illegals should be given a pathway to citizenship. Viewing him as a “tool’ to defeat Obamacare and amnesty can most charitably be described as bizarre.
Politics is a game where you don’t get everything you want, and you frequently must settle for a choice that’s simply better than the alternative. You can’t just take your ball and go home.

Various forms of this argument are found dispersed amid the various blogs and comment sections therein; but essentially the essential argument is the same.  So here’s the intellectual reply. (more…)

Infectious positive broad-base “crossover” support can’t be purchased.  The enthusiasm for change is growing exponentially.  The “Salty Girls” exemplify:

People are having difficulty trying to figure out why I’m supporting Donald Trump with such severity.  So let me explain.

I’ve already explained the specifics of what is ahead and how ONLY JEB BUSH will win the primary in – PART ONE – “The Tripwires”.  And I’ve expanded it for further explanation – HERE – and –HERE.
Regardless of how much you support a “NON-JEB” if you, as a conservative, vote for Walker, Perry, Cruz, Jindal, Rubio et al you will get JEB BUSH out of the GOPe machine.
Expecting a different outcome is like standing at that soda machine that gives you diet ginger ale regardless of which button you push.
Just because the buttons say: Coke, Root Beer, Fanta, Sprite etc. doesn’t mean the slots inside the machine (which you can’t see) are loaded with anything other than diet ginger ale, or Jeb Bush.
Putting your money in the same GOP machine over and over, only leaves you standing there with elevently cans of diet ginger ale;  the eleventy-first push of the button delivers yet another Jeb Bush.
Stop being a co-dependent, and don’t worry about walking to a different, perhaps unfamiliar, vending machine.  Also, don’t worry about expressing an opinion that you don’t trust Trump; or Trump doesn’t pass your litmus test of (fill in the blank).  Neither are the issue. (more…)

When Donald Trump announced his candidacy there was one thing most important to do.  When Trump began blowing his competition out of the water, there was one important thing to do.  When Trump, essentially the risk that Trump represents, is attacked by the political left and political right, that thing remains.
The transparency within the promoted media attacks both direct (another and another) and indirect, are aimed to do the same thing, remove support.   How? By using the exact same strategy, instill fear.
FEAR IS USED AS A WEAPON.  Fear is the most effective and dangerous of weapons. When fear is deployed, it is critically important to #1) identify it, and #2) see through the motivations of its deployment.
When you understand this, I mean really understand this, you are able to see the obvious deployment of strategies intended to instill fear.
The Washington Post article today, about Bill Clinton talking to Donald Trump prior to Trump’s announcement, is directly targeted to do this – make the base fearful of what they don’t know.  This will be the Chris Wallace angle.

Former president Bill Clinton had a private telephone conversation in late spring with Donald Trump at the same time that the billionaire investor and reality-television star was nearing a decision to run for the White House, according to associates of both men.

Donald Trump previously said: “I will win the Hispanic vote in this election“.
Guess what?  He’s right.

In a Public Policy Polling survey, Trump leads with 34% of Hispanic voters, surpassing Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.   What makes this poll even more delicious, is that it had to be reported on Univision:

ROGELIO MORA TAGLE, CORRESPONDENT: And it’s that upon launching his campaign, Trump said among other things that the people who emigrate from Mexico bring to the United States drugs, crime and are rapists. Those comments, for 55% of those polled, are insulting and racist, and out of place in a presidential campaign.

(Via ABC News) Donald Trump has turned the tables on Gawker. After the online site released one of Donald Trump’s cellphone numbers, the GOP presidential candidate changed his voicemail this morning.

“Hi, this is Donald Trump and I’m running for the presidency of the United States of America.  With your help and support, together we can make America truly great again! Visit me at twitter @realDonaldTrump and check out my campaign website at www.donaldtrump.com Hope to see you on the campaign trail, we’re going to do it!”

Y’all go on wit y’own self – getting all defrosted about The Donald flying to Scotland while the other Candidates are deep in debate prep.  Our man is flyin’ on his own dime.  He got this!

You can’t buy this kind of raw energetic enthusiasm. Priceless:
