In August’s Breitbart Primary, non-politicians and anti-establishment candidates Donald Trump (38.7%), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) (26.6%), Dr. Ben Carson (10%), and Carly Fiorina (5.6%) accounted for a whopping 81% of the first-place votes.
More people (152,000) voted in August’s Breitbart Primary than in the previous two months combined (55,000 voted in June’s inaugural Breitbart Primary and 70,566 people voted in July’s Breitbart Primary), and it is clear that establishment Republican candidates need not apply for the White House as far as Breitbart Primary voters are concerned.
The Breitbart Primary was a leading indicator in predicting how non-politicians like Trump, Carson, and Fiorina and consummate outsider Cruz would resonate with the conservative grassroots and primary voters. Those four performed better in the last two Breitbart Primary polls than they did nationally before they started to surge this last month in national polls.
Cruz edged Trump in last month’s Breitbart Primary, but Trump pulled ahead in August like he did in every other poll. Carson surged into third place in July’s Breitbart Primary and solidified his position in the third slot in August. Fiorina, who had been in sixth place in the past two Breitbart Primary polls, was solidly in fourth place in August after she won the so-called “happy hour” debate.

Andrew Breitbart saw Trump as the fraud he is, this website is dragging his good name through the mud.
Trump has become a weather vane for the GOP.
Forecast:
Storm’s a brewin’!
GOP better find shelter.
The political parasites are responsible for the mess that we are in.
6. But the grand nostrum will be a public debt…
7. It must not be forgotten that the members of the legislative body are to have a deep stake in the game. This is an essential point, and happily is attended with no difficulty. A sufficient number, properly disposed, can alternately legislate and speculate, and speculate and legislate, and buy and sell, and sell and buy, until a due portion of the property of their constituents has passed into their hands…
9. The management of a great funded debt and a extensive system of taxes…
10. “Divide and govern” is a maxim consecrated by the experience of ages, and should be familiar in its use to every politician…
11. As soon as sufficient progress in the intended change shall have been made, and the public mind duly prepared according to the rules already laid down, it will be proper to venture on another and a bolder step toward a removal of the constitutional landmarks.

Debates in the House of Representatives on the First Report on Public Credit 9–18 February 1790
James Jackson (Ga.)
But it is doubted with me whether a permanent funded debt is beneficial or not to any country.
The same effect must be produced that has taken place in other nations; it must either bring on a national bankruptcy or annihilate her existence as an independent empire. Hence I contend, sir, that a funding system, in this country, will be highly dangerous to the welfare of the republic; it may, for a moment, raise our credit and increase the circulation, by multiplying a new species of currency; but it must, in times afterward, settle upon our posterity a burthen which they can neither bear nor relieve themselves from. It will establish a precedent in America that may, and in all probability will, be pursued by the sovereign authority until it brings upon us that ruin which it has never failed to bring, or is inevitably bringing, upon all the nations of the earth who have had the temerity to make the experiment.

The Uniparty Parasites must be made to hung FOR SALE shingles on their habitats. They’re already calling around for appraisals.
Oh yeah, “big time” storm.
I’ve been enjoying VP Cheney and his daughter doing their book tour on TV.
The debt issue will cost us our country. As it stands now, if anything/anyone increases the interest rate paid on the debt by even 2%, then we are suddenly shelling out as much for service on the debt — only the interest mind you — as we pay for the entire defense department.
How would they offset that? More borrowing, more interest paid, principal remains the same, rinse/repeat.
If the interest were to quadruple, which would put it back to the averages of most of my life, we would be talking roughly half the entire collections of the US budget being used on only interest on the debt.
Some days I hardly come by any more. There are still some conservative threads though.
This makes Trump supporters look like rubes. They will happily support the leftist ideas if they come from Trump.
