One of the lesser discussed WikiLeaks revelations was the leak outlining collusion between The Democrat National Committee and CBS News Political Polling.  The DNC requested and received control over the CBS published polling outcome.

We have previously outlined this activity as “agenda polling“; it has been discussed in great length.  The WikiLeaks release just provided more evidence.  Every single major media poll release is specifically constructed to deliver a directional narrative as outlined by the ideological message for the accompanying/distributing outlet.

Which brings us to today’s CNN narrative polling (full pdf below); where they state Trump has “surged” following the RNC convention in Cleveland.  Quite hypocritical of them actually, when you consider CNN claimed the entire convention was an abysmal failure.

This is an evolving story #BestSummerEver – Due to the revelations within the WikiLeaks DNC emails, Debbie Wasserman-Shultz has been barred from speaking at the Democrat Convention.

In an effort to diffuse the growing controversy, and trying to split the baby, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has just resigned her position as head of the DNC effective AFTER the Philadelphia convention…..  NOT GOOD ENOUGH says the majority of convention attendees so… stay tuned!    UPDATE:  Donna Brazille to fill in?

PHILADELPHIA – […] A Hillary Clinton source expects Wasserman Schultz to be gone by the end of the day, while another Democratic source said President Barack Obama or a proxy for him may need to get involved and call Wasserman Schultz because her posture is that she was appointed by the president.

Wasserman Schultz is holding on, believing “she can weather this,” a source told CNN
Short of her resigning, both critics and supporters within the DNC are demanding she issue a statement to deal with the many issues raised by the release of a trove of DNC emails by Wikileaks that appeared to show the party favoring Clinton over Bernie Sanders during the primary process. (more…)

WikiLeaks revealed clear evidence the Democrat National Committee was working earnestly to undermine Bernie Sanders and colluding with like-minded main stream media entities to eliminate the Sanders campaign.

The email leaks clearly show the DNC was working to support Hillary Clinton, and position Hillary Clinton favorably during the primary election.  Bernie Sanders supporters had been making this argument for months and being called conspiracy theorists by the media; the email release proves the supporters were right.

Bernie Sanders discusses the revelations and talks to NBC and ABC (two video interviews):

The professional party apparatus, ie. Team Clinton, just gave the Bernie supporters the biggest F.U. so far in Philadelphia.

After the DNC locked the doors so hundreds of Team Bernie supporters could not get in to attend the rules meeting, and after locking out media during the discussion, an effort to fully eliminate superdelegates in future elections failed.

A delegate for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders offered an amendment to get rid of superdelegates (party insiders who can vote for the candidate of their choice at the convention).

Sanders supporters accurately identified it was superdelegates who gave Hillary Clinton too much of an advantage in their battle for the Democratic presidential nomination.

However, the party power structure will not allow such efforts.  The amendment was defeated by a rules committee vote of 108-58.  Although it earned enough support to force a floor vote at the convention should Team Bernie do so.

Following the vote, the media was allowed back in to witness, the Rules Committee subsequently voted down several other compromise amendments; including measures: to give superdelegates one-tenth of a vote each, ban lobbyists from being superdelegates, and bar superdelegates from voting on the convention’s first ballot.  They all failed.

LOLOL. This stuff is just too much.  Carl Bernstein please call your office…

Another rather Jaw-Dropping release within the latest WikiLeaks document dump of DNC emails outlines the planning for a joint fundraiser in September 2015.

Apparently, The Washington Post was hosting a party.  The DNC saw the opportunity to make a fundraiser out of it and sell tickets to the party to donors.   However, the email chain shows the lawyers for the DNC said they can’t publish the price for the tickets because the joint event would be illegal.

The Washington Post and DNC still held the joint event, they just never left a traceable paper trail (to outsiders) showing their combined efforts:

Earlier today WikiLeaks released more documents showing how the Democrat National Committee (DNC) specifically worked to destroy the candidacy of Bernie Sanders in a united effort with the media to support Hillary Clinton.

The revelations within the release are quite astounding, and unfortunately confirm all the prior suspicions of the Bernie Sanders supporters about the democrat party apparatus working with the Clinton campaign to eliminate the threat posed by Senator Sanders.

There are multiple examples of specific activity where the DNC is colluding with the media to undermine Sanders.  A few examples are below, and we’ll dig in to some of those stories later.  However, within one part of the email release there’s another angle confirming something we have covered here exhaustively.

2012 Quote Source:

“Conservatives will stand united in November. The stakes are too high,” Cruz said. “The Tea Party will show up en masse to support Mitt Romney.”

Cruz addressed the GOP convention Tuesday night — one of a handful of congressional candidates to get a plum speaking role at the celebration of Romney’s presidential nomination. (link)

CEO Roger Ailes has resigned from @FoxNews

— Greta Van Susteren (@greta) July 21, 2016

NEW YORK (AP) – Fox News Network CEO Roger Ailes has resigned, 21st Century Fox says.

A former Fox anchor, Gretchen Carlson, alleged in a lawsuit that Ailes had forced her out following a meeting where he told her that “you and I should have had a sexual relationship a long time ago.” The contract of Carlson, who said there was an atmosphere of harassment at Fox, was not renewed when it ended last month.

Ailes denied Carlson’s charges. Since the lawsuit was filed July 6, a succession of Fox employees have come forward to publicly defend him, but they notably did not include Megyn Kelly, who was allegedly also a victim of harassment.

The prime-time host’s profile increased dramatically in the past year following attacks on her by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. (link)

Before Ted Cruz walked onto the convention stage in Cleveland, Donald Trump had a very good idea what was about to happen.  Without pre-planning, or staged set-ups, Trump knew what to expect because Donald Trump has an exceptional political sense; he knows how to read his adversaries.

Throughout his life, Ted Cruz has exhibited a character of division; entirely tone-deaf to the people he encounters and leaves in his wake.  Those who knew Cruz in grade school and college have talked about how Cruz’s abrasive personality made him a lonely person despite his intellect.

Toxic abrasiveness is the same reason why President George W Bush would not elevate Ted Cruz in the White House 2001-2005.  Attorney Cruz was 30-years-old and arrogantly thought he should have been a candidate for Attorney General; unfortunately, no-one else did.

Years later it was toxic abrasiveness that drove candidate Ted Cruz to run for Senate in 2011 – to show those same political voices he carried a stronger political tool box than he was ever given credit for. (more…)

It’s called self immolation.  July 20th 2016 will go down in Cruz family history as that moment when Ted Cruz detonated his career suicide belt and created the #NeverCruz movement.

Forget the non endorsement, that’s not the issue.  Senator Cruz had a remarkable opportunity, he blew it.  Cruz accepted an invitation to speak to the GOP convention then insulted the audience.  Cruz couldn’t rise above his own brutal ego and petty selfishness.  The arrogance simply went too far, he humiliated himself in front of millions.

Watch and see for yourself:

It happened just like we predicted it would.  Donald Trump gave Senator Ted Cruz the rope, and Ted hung himself -diminished himself- on national TV.

Don’t be too angry…  The backlash Cruz is going to get from his prideful and arrogant display will be written in the annals of political history and shared with political science classes for generations.
