Ohio is Governor John Kasich’s home state, and he should do very well there while he controls the Republican apparatus.  (full pdf below)

OHIO – […] The bottom has really fallen out on Marco Rubio’s image. For much of the year he’s been among the best liked of the Republican candidates, even if he wasn’t voters’ first choice. Now he’s the least popular candidate, with only 33% of voters seeing him favorable to 51% who have an unfavorable opinion. Even when you combine first and second choices Rubio’s still in a distant last place with 22% to 55% for Kasich, 46% for Trump, and 28% for Cruz.  (more…)

Just about every political enterprise in the known universe is spending millions on negative attack ads against Donald Trump in Florida.  Some reports put the spending over $50,000,000 per week.

Approximately 14-18% of all broadcast commercials -depending on media market- are targeting Trump.  For perspective that’s approximately one-tenth the money spent by Mitt Romney in 2012 attacking Newt Gingrich – and that level alone was brutal.

Today candidate Donald Trump began to push back:

.@MittRomney: I am supporting 3 of the candidates right now. @tedcruz @marcorubio & @JohnKasich #FNS

Caterpillars never-ever, ever-ever, wear brown boots.  That sensibility is about as useful as polling this time of year.  Just about every poll hitting the media airwaves has some sort of media-purchased agenda behind it.  Through the end of the primaries all of them should be taken with a grain of salt.

For today’s narrative Pollster Patrick Murray (he’s now infamous) puts his chicken on a string and submerges it beneath the media surface – SEE HERE.  The frenzy ensues.  (full pdf below):

Here’s the problem.  Patrick’s polling uses 83 registered “independent” voters amid a total poll of 403 respondents.  See the issue?

The bad news is this poll (full pdf below) comes promoted by NBC/WSJ via Mark Murray.  The good news is they purchased the poll from Marist Polling, a more reliable source than prior NBC/WSJ sources (public relations firms).

However, all of that being said, the most recent polling has been substantively wrong when compared to primary election results.

It’s actually a little surprising that John Kasich would not be doing better in Michigan than these results reflect.  The ‘Open’ Primary Election is Tuesday, March 8th and there are 59 Delegates proportionally available in a ‘winner-take-most’ outcome.

The progressive media embed who relishes undermining American sovereignty, Chris Wallace, scripted the Sunday conversation with Rush Limbaugh and Mitt Romney. (Two videos below).

In the first segment Wallace discusses the severely fractured Republican party with Rush Limbaugh; who, as always, finds a way to obfuscate, and weave, in and out of intellectual honesty and propaganda – the consummate squish providing just enough evidence to keep the sheeple audience protecting his ridiculous positions.

In the first part of the Limbaugh segment, Rush rightly points out the goal of the GOP party apparatus is always to retain ownership of a small controllable tent.   This is why the GOPe want independent-minded, “common sense” folks to consistently feel marginalized and leave the Republican party.  The GOPe controls their side of the UniParty equation much easier without those pesky unwashed masses disrupting their banquets.

11:30pm We anticipate the need for more than one Super-Saturday election results thread. Hence, we will number them (as above) depending on the volume of inbound data.

MASSIVE TURNOUT !!

♦ Kansas & Maine = Team Cruz

♦ Kentucky & Louisiana = Team Trump

◊ Politico Link To Results HERE

• Kansas – Caucus. 40 delegates (12 district proportional, 25 state proportional, 3 party) Minimum threshold 10% – Ted Cruz Wins
• Kentucky – Caucus. 46 delegates (all state proportional) Minimum threshold 5% – Donald Trump Wins
• Louisiana – Primary 46 delegates (18 district, 28 state) Proportional. Minimum threshold 20% – Donald Trump Wins
• Maine – Caucus. 23 delegates Proportional if no-one gets 50% – Ted Cruz Wins

It is really frustrating that many people’s comments do not understand the psy-ops of political manipulation.  The power-brokers within the political apparatus are working earnestly to create “optics and narratives”.  This is an ideological battle space – the GOPe are master manipulators of the electorate.

There is a reason why the State Republican Parties hold back data, and strategically time the release of data to frame media discussions and narratives. (more…)

The goal of any insurgency is to work earnestly against the ruling power structure.

Look closely at the avatar (pictured image) that I have continually used since we formed this Last Refuge.

What you’ll note is it represents a singular character who recognizes the power structure is two political parties that no longer represent the people; but rather represent their own interests, the “UniParty” of Limo-Democrats and Vichy Republicans.

DC representing their own best interests, financial interests, the interests of Wall Street and Globalists.

The Democrats and Republicans working together to maintain their collective place at the political trough, and a character personified by a patriot trying to dispatch that ideological alignment.

There is a very good reason why this little corner of the internet is labeled The Last Refuge.  An example today is highlighted in Maryland at CPAC, where Speaker of the House of Representatives, Paul Ryan, gave a speech and received a standing ovation from “conservatives” in the audience.

The “conservative” audience stood and cheered for a former chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, a federal “Budget Expert”, who only two months ago spearheaded the passage of an Omnibus Spending Bill giving the government unlimited spending and elimination of the debt ceiling. (more…)
