Today in Saint Louis a life-long conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly endorsed presidential candidate Donald Trump.

It is very interesting to note that individual conservative patriots, who have fought against the institutional corporate corruption within conservatism for their entire lives, are the people standing up for Trump.

Meanwhile, the institutional entities, the group-thinkers, the globalists, corporatists and those dependent groups who feed from the trough of the Wall Street media machine, are the very people who stand in opposition to candidate Trump.

We, we band of brothers, choose individual liberty, individual freedom, individual and national patriotism.  Americans.

The professional political apparatus have worked earnestly to try every scheme, angle and manipulative dirty trick in the book to eliminate the frontrunner of the republican presidential primary.   Despite spending hundreds of millions, the GOPe have consistently failed; due in large part to a more in-tune electorate well aware of their ploys.

Last night the Miami-Dade debate returned to a more civil confrontation, and candidate Donald Trump benefitted from the shift.  Mr. Trump reminded the republican audience in the auditorium and at home that millions of newly engaged people were joining the party, switching party registration, and aligning with the republican insurgency he’s leading.

The RNC had previously done an autopsy on their historic failings; and Trump reminded the entire party apparatus he was bringing into the tent exactly the coalition they previously identified as necessary.

There was/is a large sense of irony in Trump delivering where the republican party has failed, and yet the party itself seemed less than accepting of the new, more broad, coalition.   In his opening statement, Trump put them on notice. (more…)

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “2016 Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Presidential Race and/or any of the candidates therein.

Florida Early Voting Happening NOW !

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

This appears to be the last statistically valid poll of Florida provided by Suffolk University (full pdf below).  Donald Trump leads with 36%, followed by Rubio at 27% and Ted Cruz at 19%.

Within these polled stats you find the “Block Trump” motive for Cruz to pull out of Florida and hope his supporters shift toward Rubio.   It is better for Cruz (now) if Rubio wins Florida and doesn’t allow Trump to extend his delegate lead.

Senator Cruz has never had a strong position in Florida and was reluctant to make any outlay into the state until the GOPe (Bush) donors stepped up to pay for it.

Much like John Kasich in Ohio, Senator Marco Rubio remains in the presidential primary acting solely as a tool to block Donald Trump – neither Kasich nor Rubio have any actual path to the nomination for their own candidacy. (more…)

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

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.

Following a meeting of Wall Street donors and DC political strategists, the Cruz campaign has shifted strategy and announces a “Stop Trump” focus on North Carolina, Missouri and Illinois.

CNN shares some of in insider details as provided by Kellyanne Conway a CNN contributor, pundit and current head of the pro-Cruz Super-PAC Keep the Promise.

(Via CNN) […]  Keep the Promise, the main cluster of independent groups backing Cruz, is preparing to spend $4.1 million in a quartet of states that vote on March 15: Missouri, Illinois, Ohio and North Carolina. It is passing entirely on Florida, Rubio’s home state, where he trails national frontrunner Donald Trump badly in polls.

“We’re no longer doing anti-Rubio ads in Florida, because it appears he can lose Florida all by himself,” said Kellyanne Conway, the group’s president. “He doesn’t need our help.”

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…)
