Dear Mr. Trump,

I am writing you today because I, like most citizens of this nation, am sick and tired of the talking heads on TV working together to brainwash us into believing that you can’t win. They are fearful because they know you’ve got the people’s vote.

In 1996, I personally talked with over 40,000 people during the volunteer petition drive for Ross Perot, remember him? People told me they were so fed up and disgusted with our inept and corrupt politicians that they refuse to vote any more. Blue collar workers suffered the most because their jobs were either shipped overseas or across the Mexican border. These citizens of the United States are too angry to vote for anyone but you. I call this huge, untapped pool of defiant voters the MONSTER VOTE.

The Ohio Republican ballot for president is causing some confusion as outlined within this video:

Is the ballot intentionally confusing by design?

Given the previous discussions on State Party shenanigans, and the intent of state republican party leadership to hold complete influence over their delegate’s decision-making, many believe the answer is “probably”.

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.

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 †

Sorry for missing the live stream – here’s the incredible video of a massive rally in Madison Mississippi:

A few months ago we shared the entire back story of how the legislative gang-of-eight amnesty bill was structured and blocked at the last minute.  After that revealing information was disclosed, research also identified a hidden corporate agenda within Fox News to promote the Amnesty agenda.

Then last week, another story emerged within the New York Times showcasing how various conservative radio hosts were also lobbied, and recruited, to push a more favorable narrative for the Washington DC objectives.  All of the activity was kept from the consuming audience by the participants – all of them attempted to justify their willful blindness.

This week a Salem Communications insider steps forth (via email) to affirm all of the previous reports, and add details specific to the instructions from Salem Broadcasting and Salem Communications group:

In 2014 (sorry, cannot recall the date), Salem Radio hosted a conference call with Senator Marco Rubio to address the Gang of Eight legislation and “set the record straight.” All national and local talk hosts were urged to take part. I am one of their local hosts, and what I heard that day was troubling.

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?

Staying focused on the Bigger Issues being skipped by Presidential candidates.

Obamacare was never about providing more coverage or lowering the cost of said coverage.  Obamacare was constructed in 2009/2010 for one reason and one reason only, to shift the cost of healthcare away from the private sector and into the hands of government.

The cost of union healthcare coverage was rising at an unsustainable rate.  Union contracts were historically negotiated with exceptionally generous terms for Health Care Insurance plans and healthcare benefits as a whole.

In the short-term these contracts were great, however in the longer term these contracts were unsustainable.

Enter SEIU President Andy Stern, the 2009/2010 most frequent visitor to the White House.  Stern, as head of the Service Employees International Union, was in a desperate situation – the pension and retirement benefits of his unionized workers was beyond the scope of receipts to keep pace. (more…)
