Senator Bernie Sanders goes into the full ‘old man screaming “get off my lawn” mode‘ after he was put on the spot this morning because of his ideological support for brutal communist dictator Fidel Castro.
Angry Sanders has very grouchy sad because he must retain his condolences privately amid his fellow socialist/communist besties within the Occupy Wall Street crowd.
Former campaign manager Kellyanne Conway made the Sunday talk circuit discussing a variety of topics surrounding the Donald Trump transition (three interviews).
One of the consistent inquisitions surrounds the Mitt Romney Secretary of State banter:
The difference between the Democrat and Republican party has always been the distinction between one side who will do anything, say anything, manipulate anything, and fight to the death to get their way – and the other party being polite Republican surrender monkeys.
Any intellectually honest observer didn’t need to look any further than the construct of ObamaCare in 2009/2010 to find the legislative representation of this political truism.
Or perhaps a person might remember the leftist takeover of the Wisconsin capitol building because they lost the 2010 election. Further still remember the newly minority Wisconsin Democrats actually fleeing the state and attempting to disrupt the legislative session simply by refusing to participate.
The Jill Stein filing for a recount in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania is simply an extension of this aforementioned behavior. The goal is not to change the election outcome, that possibility is beyond absurd, the goal is Alinsky opposition: create mayhem, cause angst, create disruption, seed doubt, undermine, isolate, marginalize the opponent. These moonbat behaviors are simply the antagonistic leftists fulfilling the nature of their ideology.

Perhaps something worth considering amid all the Mitt Romney angst, is the potential for this to be part of a more comprehensive Donald Trump/Steve Bannon strategy.
You would be hard pressed to find anyone amid CTH who would opine any measure of favorability toward Romney. Quite the contrary, no-one likes him, at all. Nor did anyone support his initial presidential bid in the primary of 2012.
However, that said, President-Elect Trump presenting Romney as a cabinet possibility -and stirring up the visual appearance of grass root opposition therein- may essentially be nothing more than putting the final nail in another GOPe legacy coffin.

Approximately 14 hours after creating a media cycle fraught with antagonism and chaos, a more demure Kellyanne Conway appears on Fox News for an interview with Sean Hannity.
Oh my.
Sounds like “a major award“: (more…)
Go back through the archives of this website to the first outlining of Donald Trump’s run for the White House and you’ll find a quote from us predicting Trump’s biggest weapon for victory being his broad-base of support(ers), us.
Put another way, if you are in opposition to now President-Elect Trump, the target for your approach is to conquer by dividing that base of support(ers).
Enter the Alinsky professional model with Trump’s visit and today’s New York Times headline: “Donald Trump Seems to Retreat on Some Promises“.
“Seems to“? That sounds awfully familiar to Jake Tapper’s: “may have“

Amid all the hand-wringing, angst and media-driven pundit protestations, one consistent principle remains: ..when it comes to Donald Trump’s intention, media narratives rely upon twisted information. Today is no different.
The New York Post kicks off a media cycle by saying “Trump won’t pursue charges against Hillary Clinton“. That daily headline is driven by a Kellyanne Conway interview on Morning Joe…. and so the narrative charges forth into the bloodstream.
Before we get too caught up in the discussion, it would be wise to remember another time when a similar media narrative began, from the exact same set of players, surrounding Donald Trump reversing his position on illegal alien deportation.
This prior narrative ultimately culminated in a Trump speech in Phoenix Arizona on the day candidate Trump met with Mexican political leadership. There was no truth to the prior 36 hour narrative.
Within both narrative explosions you find the reason Trump used Steve Bannon to balance out the Kellyanne Conway-ism propensity toward overspeak, combined with media’s intentional use of that overspeak, ie. the sideshow.
President-Elect Donald Trump transparently wants and needs the legislative effort of congress focused on his agenda, his America-First platform.
President Trump does not want his bold advancement mired in the quicksand of DC swamp-water; represented by endlessly divisive and partisan congressional hearings constructed to give professional political party leadership airtime on TV media – and which also, inherently by design, go no-where.

It would appear the greatest media concern is President-Elect Trump’s ability to communicate directly to the U.S. Electorate without needing the filter of corporate media. This potential new media irrelevance seems to lie at the heart of the MSM current angst.
Interestingly, Donald Trump is meeting with several executives and media personalities today in Trump Tower for an off-the-record discussion:
(Via CNN) […] The meeting will involve Trump, Conway and representatives from ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and Fox News. (NBC’s cable news channel MSNBC is included in the NBC invitation, Conway noted.)
Some of the top network anchors are traveling or on vacation this week, but others will be in attendance, the Trump aide said. Several executives from the networks will also be there.
We discussed this at length prior to the general election. Now there’s statistics available to evidence what we felt was predictable. In the voting precincts in/around Miami-Dade Florida, containing the highest demographics of Cuban-Americans, Donald Trump won more than 58%. The Patrone’ Effect.
(Via Capital Hill Cubans) A look at the election results in the 30+ precincts in Miami-Dade County with the highest concentration of Cuban-American voters show that President-elect Donald Trump won with over 58% and Senator Marco Rubio won with over 69%.
These aren’t exit polls or issue polls. These are actual votes counted.
Moreover, these numbers simply represent a base — a starting point — for they are somewhat diluted by non-Cuban voters. (read more)
Tonight Vice-President-Elect Governor Mike Pence took his wife to a performance of Hamilton on Broadway. The cast took the opportunity to call out and target Governor Pence and his wife Karen. They later bragged about it on twitter.
