Radio host Michael Savage interviews Donald Trump today discussing the current state of the race and current events:
Polls this close to election day (tomorrow), when absentee ballots and early voting have already taken place, are notoriously sketchy. However, the PPP Poll (full pdf below) does have all of the head-to-head matchups included, and those can put some of the media hype to rest.
Donald Trump is leading in the overall polled responses, and also would be leading each of the candidates individually in head-to-head contests.
(Via PPP) […] Compared to a month ago Trump’s support is up 15 points and Cruz’s is up 14 points. Kasich’s remained in place, and Rubio has seen his support collapse 9 points. Trump appears to already be building up a lead among early voters – he’s at 46% to 38% for Cruz, 11% for Kasich, and 4% for Rubio. Among those planning to vote on election day Trump gets 43% to 32% for Cruz, 11% for Kasich, and 8% for Rubio.
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…)
The #12 republican primary GOP debate is tonight at 8:30pm EST on CNN. The stakes are high for all of the candidates. Florida is the home state for Senator Marco Rubio and he’s currently behind in most polls.
The Florida primary is March 15th along with Missouri, Illinois, Ohio and North Carolina. Those five (“Super-Tuesday 2.0”) states will deliver winner-take-all delegates which could effectively end the candidacy of almost all current contenders.
CNN is broadcasting the debate live at 8:30pm. The debate is sponsored by CNN, The Washington Times and The Salem Media Group.
- CNN is the propaganda outlet for modern progressive thought.
- The Washington Times represents the DC professional machine.
- Salem Media Group (Hugh Hewitt) is an advocacy group for Marco Rubio.
Senator Ted Cruz is anticipated to once again tag-team with Senator Marco Rubio and go nasty toward candidate Donald Trump. John Kasich will attack as needed.
From the outset the broadcast media have intentionally not mentioned the weak technical campaign strategy of Ohio Governor John Kasich. The foundational reason for the lack of ground-work was simply that Kasich was never supposed to be a national GOPe candidate.
Just like Rubio in Florida, Pataki in Illinois, Gilmore and Fiorina in Virginia, Perry in Texas and Lindsey Graham in South Carolina, Kasich’s role was to block a momentum candidate by splitting the voting base in Ohio. Each of these candidates had a role to play in the GOPe road map for Jeb Bush.
However, when Donald Trump overwhelmed the “splitter strategy“, and eventually when Bush was forced to drop out of the race, the GOPe road-map shifted from “splitting” to “blocking“. John Kasich’s role shifting accordingly. Unfortunately, Kasich is not on all the ballots where the GOPe need has shifted. (more…)
