A few days ago someone posted a link to an official campaign event being held by Senator Ted Cruz. The link was in relationship to the Super-PAC “Keep the Promise” setting up the entire event, promoting the event, paying for the event, and coordinating the campaign activity culminating in Ted Cruz giving a speech at the event.
Unfortunately, given the thousands of comments daily we can’t find the link.
Despite rather outdated FEC rules -which are supposed to block such coordination- Carly Fiorina ran her entire campaign almost exclusively through Super-PAC financing. We noted a few weeks ago that Senator Ted Cruz had shifted to a similar financial model as Fiorina.
Essentially both Fiorina, now Cruz, are pushing the boundaries on what is allowable in a post Citizens United campaign operation. While it is against federal campaign laws for Super-PACS to fund or coordinate with candidates’ campaigns, the rules are very ambiguous as to what constitutes “coordination“. (more…)

Two days ago – two men, actually two professional antagonists, showed up wearing armbands supposedly ‘spoofing‘ Donald Trump with Nazi comparisons. However, things were not as they seemed.
The men who wore armbands touting Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump were actually the same pranksters who sported “Settle for Hillary” shirts at a Hillary Clinton event earlier this year.
As reported in The Hill
The men wore armbands with a large “T” on them at a Trump rally in Florida, according to a picture tweeted by a reporter from The Boston Globe.
Steady your nerves America. Detach yourself from auto-emotional responses. Remember the difference between anger and “cold anger“. Recognize the “Battered Conservative Syndrome” and resist it.
The cloistered institutional power-elite who have set-up the political system for their own enrichment, the oligarchy, are facing the very real possibility of losing control. There are TRILLIONS of dollars at stake.
Their very exclusive lifestyle of indulgence is being threatened by the candidacy of Donald Trump. They are throwing every ugly attack angle possible in Trump’s direction in order to eliminate the threat. Remain focused, stay frosty and steel your resolve.
A message from Senator David Perdue – Explains HERE
The goal of any insurgency is to work earnestly against the ruling power structure.
Hopefully the good people of Ohio will recognize what the appearance of Mitt Romney on stage with Governor John Kasich exemplifies. The cocktail class republicans are desperate to remain in power – by any means necessary.
Governor John Kasich is not on the ballot in most of Illinois districts. Kasich also did not qualify for the Pennsylvania ballot. He didn’t qualify in 2015 because initially his usefulness to the GOPe grand plan was supposed to be splitting the ballot in Ohio to the benefit of Jeb Bush. Kasich’s willingness to go along with such a deceptive scheme should tell you all you need to know about where his loyalties are.
(Via NBC) Mitt Romney will campaign with John Kasich Monday at two stops in Ohio, NBC News has learned from a source familiar with the plans.
Romney is not expected to endorse the Ohio governor during the campaign swing, the source said, but it will be the first time Romney has campaigned on behalf of a Republican candidate this cycle. (more…)
Following a meeting of Wall Street donors and DC political strategists, the Cruz campaign has shifted strategy and announces a “Stop Trump” focus on North Carolina, Missouri and Illinois.
CNN shares some of in insider details as provided by Kellyanne Conway a CNN contributor, pundit and current head of the pro-Cruz Super-PAC Keep the Promise.
(Via CNN) […] Keep the Promise, the main cluster of independent groups backing Cruz, is preparing to spend $4.1 million in a quartet of states that vote on March 15: Missouri, Illinois, Ohio and North Carolina. It is passing entirely on Florida, Rubio’s home state, where he trails national frontrunner Donald Trump badly in polls.
“We’re no longer doing anti-Rubio ads in Florida, because it appears he can lose Florida all by himself,” said Kellyanne Conway, the group’s president. “He doesn’t need our help.”

Interesting. Jeb was always the GOPe candidate. The 2014 road map was constructed exclusively for Jeb. At least 12, perhaps more, of the original candidates were part of Team Jeb. Jeb Bush carries 4 delegates. Jeb continues to be on every ballot. Jeb Bush will be in leadership role at GOP convention. Jeb Bush always said he’d win the nomination by losing the primary. Is Jeb Bush the convention candidate?
He met with Rubio first today.
(Via ABC) Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush may be out of the presidential race but he’s not out of the game. In advance of the CNN debate at the University of Miami Thursday, Bush is meeting with all the remaining GOP candidates except his former foe, Donald Trump.
Bush will meet with Florida Sen. Marco Rubio today, then Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz on Thursday, according to a Bush spokesperson. (more…)
Trying to explain the significance of the last few days, in relationship to the Ted Cruz candidacy, requires the intellectually honest observer to recognize and/or accept the increasingly likely probability: we have been facing a manufactured “false dilemma” longer than most may be willing to accept.
“False Dilemma” – the fallacy of false choice, or the fallacy of the false alternative, is a type of informal fallacy involving a situation in which only limited alternatives are considered, when in fact there is at least one additional option.
In essence, presidential candidate Ted Cruz has been presented, by those who gain leverage in the presentation, as an option – to the previous “establishment candidates“.
Under this assumption, the intent of the option (Cruz) is to block the observer (electorate / us) from considering any additional alternative which remains outside the control of the presenting entity (the DC power brokers, GOPe, Wall Street donor class).
In order to recognize the fallacy of false choice, the audience must engage the new information while reevaluating their prior assumption, positions and options.
That said, Team Cruz has shown new evidence of being much further aligned with the GOPe than most political observers, and high-information voters, might be willing to accept.
Here’s why: (more…)
After spending so much time following the internecine machinations of the professional DC scheme throughout 2014, it is a prudent and necessary duty to leave a footnote for the exit of Jeb Bush.
In the aggregate, we’ve probably spent more time defending the various Bush’s than framing their flaws, faults and self-interests. Indeed, I’ve personally defended Dubya more than most from a re-writing of specific historical events. However, there is a certain issue which deserves to be folded neatly into the recently closing chapter.
Any favorable opinion of the Bush Clan which -justified or not- was previously held, is now a long and distant memory. The 2013 decision to run Jeb Bush for president of the United States in the election of 2016 has proven the historic detractors were entirely correct.
There has never been a more selfish or self-serving decision made by a top-tier political group of insiders, than for the Bush Clan to promote Jeb Bush knowing full well the electorate wanted nothing to do with another Bush candidacy. (more…)
Be of good cheer and enjoy the removal of one-half of the globalists 2016 objectives; indeed a difficult Rubicon has been successfully traversed. However, do not be naïve in thinking one significant battle means the war has been won.
The bloodiest battle still lays ahead.
♦ Jeb Bush has been forced out of the race. It cannot be overstated how significant this victory is in the grand scheme of things. The foundational block, upon which the entire road-map was built, has been removed. However, the GOPe engineers will now shift attention to a scorched earth campaign to benefit their retention of power.
We would all be wise to remember in 2014 Chris McDaniels actually defeated Thad Cochran in the first GOP Mississippi primary. It was only after their initial defeat the GOPe decided to destroy anything that stood in their way – again, the retention of power was the ultimate motivator.
We can now expect those same DC influences, including the entire camp that supported Jeb Bush, the old guard, to work diligently (albeit under darkened cover) to assist Hillary Clinton, and destroy anything that would interrupt their grip on power.
Yes, the GOPe would rather lose to Hillary and retain their place at the trough than to see entry into their cloistered club by the Vulgarian Donald Trump. (more…)
Polls Close in South Carolina at 7:00pm. Sometime around 5:00pm most media will begin reporting “preliminary exit poll” information. However, it is important for South Carolinians to IGNORE ALL EXIT POLLING INFORMATION. The media are notorious for using “exit polls” to influence the last few hours of voting.
POLLS CLOSED !
Donald Trump Declared WINNER
