Donald Trump discusses the state of the presidential race and current issues with candidate Ted Cruz lying.
The 2016 election is the fight we’ve been waiting for…
A new CBS battleground tracking poll (full pdf below) released today shows the top three candidates continue to be Trump, Cruz and Rubio. Jeb Bush and Dr. Ben Carson are far behind.
Jeb is hoping that bringing his brother, George W. Bush, into the state of South Carolina will provide him more benefit than bringing Mom, Barbara, into New Hampshire. Although many voters in South Carolina are now asking “why can’t Jeb compete for the nomination on his own merits“?
It does seem oddly weak, and profoundly poor advice, for a presidential candidate to be unable to achieve support – and decide the best option is to rely on Mom, Dad and his brother as a crutch. (more…)

No intellectually honest person can deny the Greenville South Carolina debate was constructed to provide maximum benefit for Marco Rubio. The structure was so brutally transparent even the customarily obtuse punditry are having a hard time obfuscating.
We have been pointing to the GOPe road-map for over two years. As each tripwire is crossed, the ridiculous justifications of those in denial necessarily increase; but that doesn’t mean we will stop pointing out the strings on the presidential marionette show. Cue yet another audio visual demonstration.
Do you see anything odd with this screen shot from the live CBS debate?
Perhaps you’ll note – that in order for the CBS production staff to put a Marco Rubio “immigration position” graphic on the screen, at the exact moment when he was questioned about it – there had to be a particular pre-planned intent.
And no other candidate had ANY similar graphic used, at any individual moment, on any individual topic, other than this one. This was the only time CBS put out a candidate position graphic during a candidate response. Are you more curious now?

2016 is the fight we’ve been waiting for…
The debate moderator is CBS News political director John Dickerson. He will be joined by CBS News White House correspondent Major Garrett, and to provide the Rupert Murdoch influence, The Wall Street Journal’s Kimberley Strassel. The debate will air live on CBS from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. EST tonight.
Fox News has already positioned their optics and narrative front-man John Roberts on the ground in/around Greenville. The Roberts production team is one of the key follows for anyone interested in discovering where Fox News executives are directing the public’s attention.
South Carolina has been hosting the evangelical-dominated Faith and Values conference in advance of the debate tonight. The audience has been carefully selected from conference attendees and professional republican party insiders.
Given the absolute need for young Marco Rubio to regain his viable candidate footing, every possible lean and party indulgence will be apportioned to provide maximum benefit. Knowing also that Roberts production staff is on the ground at the venue, The Peace Center, we can remain confident Murdoch is leveraging furiously on behalf of his preferred candidate, Rubio.

A Southern Political Poll released today (full pdf below) conducted for the Augusta Chronicle and Fox5 is exceptionally interesting. The poll data itself is deep, extensive, succinct and well presented. Good sample size, low MOE and few assumptions.
The top line results, show remarkable consistency with the previous NBC/WSJ and Maris polls conducted in January. With the exception of a modest bump for John Kasich, the latest polling shows almost no change – and most of the SC electorate have not only made up their mind, but their decision has been settled for quite a while:
A close review of the poll internals, shows some remarkable and consistent insights when contrast against ground reports, alternate polling and field data. What many political junkies might find remarkable is the dominance of the Trump coalition.
After reviewing the poll data, the current decisions of the Trump campaign’s approach in South Carolina make VERY good sense.
(Via CBS) The six remaining major GOP presidential candidates have all qualified for CBS News’ Republican debate in South Carolina on Saturday night, the network announced Friday.
Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Ben Carson and John Kasich have been invited to participate in the debate at the Peace Center in Greenville.
Former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore, who had only previously participated in undercard debates, did not qualify for the main stage, and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Carly Fiorina dropped out of the 2016 race earlier this week. (more…)
It did not take long for the earlier predictions of the upcoming South Carolina debate to be confirmed. According to a local media report the Peace Center in South Carolina, with an audience capacity of 1,900, will be attended by only the most exclusive party insiders and Republican donors.
[…] Republican National Committee decided not to go with a lottery system. “If we had not had it at the Peace Center we probably would have had more people come, but the Peace Center is the venue that CBS chose,” said Chad Groover, chairman of the Greenville County Republican party.
Groover said supporters who work hard for the party will be rewarded tickets. People selected will fill the 1,900 seats that have been made available for the event, according to Groover. Groover said the Republican National Committee gives a lot of tickets to supporters. He said more are then allocated for the state party to distribute among the county chairs. […] Groover said he gave tickets to supporters, including elected officials, who work hard for the party. (link)
As typical for the cocktail class, “work hard for the party” translates to opening checkbooks and demanding influence.
The New Hampshire debate audience was Old School Republicans who cheered Jeb Bush and jeered the ‘next-in-line-jumper’ Marco Rubio. However, South Carolina has already shown their most preferential candidate in the North Charleston debate, where party insiders were majority Rubio supporters. Expect Greenville to be more like the latter than former. (more…)

Remember – Carly Fiorina was pushed to enter the 2016 presidential race at the behest of Mitt Romney. Billionaire Robert Mercer shifted funds ($500k) from Cruz Super-PAC KtP1 to start Carly for America (CFA). All activity prior to Donald Trump disrupting the GOPe Road-Map “splitter strategy”.
Today Carly Fiorina suspended her campaign – Announcement Via Facebook HERE
Carly is the 10th candidate to drop out of the presidential race. (She is also the 7th “splitter” to exit) The media will focus on questions surrounding her projected endorsement. She will absolutely endorse either Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio. However, her endorsement will be contingent upon the GOPe deciding which one is more viable.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has officially “suspended” his presidential campaign. He’s out. ….And it didn’t take long for Fox News head Rupert Murdoch to throw an annoyed elbow in his direction upon exit.
If anyone doubted all the research (2+ years worth) that proves Fox News was officially structuring news and opinion content to benefit Marco Rubio’s presidential bid you can put those doubts to rest. Fox News is the unofficial Super-PAC of Marco Rubio – See Here
