Stuttering candidate Ted Cruz takes his GOPe rhetoric to new lows and tells CBN during an interview that Donald Trump supporters are “low information” and “not engaged”.

“Donald does well with voters who have relatively low information, who are not that engaged and who are angry and they see him as an angry voice.” (link)

It would appear lyin’ Ted is increasingly growing desperate as his odds of winning the GOP nomination are diminishing.  Now we begin to see the true colors of a progressive DC insider who has stepped out from behind his mask.

In the past several days the attachment of Ted Cruz to the GOPe UniParty has been increasingly exposed to sunlight. (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 †

CNN has provided the full interview in a few segments.

Ignore the last two Fox News polls being pushed today – FLORIDA HERE and OHIO HERE – You’ll note the architect of both polls is “Shaw and Company Research”.

The “Shaw” in Shaw and Company is Daron Shaw, a former operative of the Rick Perry campaign and entrenched political PR consultant for the DC GOPe apparatus.  Both of these polls are “agenda polls”; the professional political apparatus are trying desperately to influence the election and create a media narrative.

It is doubtful the numbers on Trump, Rubio or Kasich are accurately represented in either data-set.   Yes, Donald Trump is doing very well against the severely collapsing campaign of Marco Rubio in Florida.  However, it is difficult to measure given current events.

“Released after an ICE error”? – Five people were killed by a man named Pablo Serrano-Vitorino.  Most of the media have refused to identify Vitorino as an illegal alien with repeat deportations.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Mo. — After a massive manhunt, Pablo Antonio Serrano-Vitorino, suspected of four Kansas City, Kan., murders and another one in New Florence, Mo., was found in Montgomery County and taken into custody early Wednesday morning.  Montgomery County is located between Columbia and St. Louis.

“Released after ICE error”  ?

Interesting.  Jeb was always the GOPe candidate.  The 2014 road map was constructed exclusively for Jeb.  At least 12, perhaps more, of the original candidates were part of Team Jeb.  Jeb Bush carries 4 delegates.  Jeb continues to be on every ballot. Jeb Bush will be in leadership role at GOP convention.  Jeb Bush always said he’d win the nomination by losing the primary.  Is Jeb Bush the convention candidate?

He met with Rubio first today.

(Via ABC) Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush may be out of the presidential race but he’s not out of the game. In advance of the CNN debate at the University of Miami Thursday, Bush is meeting with all the remaining GOP candidates except his former foe, Donald Trump.

Bush will meet with Florida Sen. Marco Rubio today, then Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz on Thursday, according to a Bush spokesperson. (more…)

Trying to explain the significance of the last few days, in relationship to the Ted Cruz candidacy, requires the intellectually honest observer to recognize and/or accept the increasingly likely probability: we have been facing a manufactured “false dilemma” longer than most may be willing to accept.

“False Dilemma” – the fallacy of false choice, or the fallacy of the false alternative, is a type of informal fallacy involving a situation in which only limited alternatives are considered, when in fact there is at least one additional option.

In essence, presidential candidate Ted Cruz has been presented, by those who gain leverage in the presentation, as an option – to the previous “establishment candidates“.

Under this assumption, the intent of the option (Cruz) is to block the observer (electorate / us) from considering any additional alternative which remains outside the control of the presenting entity (the DC power brokers, GOPe, Wall Street donor class).

In order to recognize the fallacy of false choice, the audience must engage the new  information while reevaluating their prior assumption, positions and options.

That said, Team Cruz has shown new evidence of being much further aligned with the GOPe than most political observers, and high-information voters, might be willing to accept.

Here’s why: (more…)
