I think even more infuriating than the bias is the down, dirty, snarky disrespect exhibited toward the candidates. t
There is absolutely NO level of POLITE RESPECT toward those from whom the next President of the united States will be selected by WE THE PEOPLE! It is the strongest indication of the power plays being formulated behind the scenes to prod and push, searching for any stupid PC slip of someone and has no bearing on the platforms each candidate possesses.

The RNC knows precisely how to be the Washington Generals to the RATS Globetrotters.

Because Rinse Please-us is a limp-wristed, clueless pansy-ass pajama boy, that’s why.

I can’t believe this loser is drawing a paycheck.

I can’t believe he wasn’t fired after the 2012 debacle.

It was a conscious decision to put the candidates in front of hostile inquisitors.

That reminds me of the Honeymooners episode where Ralph was trying to sell an apple peeler kitchen tool and he and Norton made a commercial which showed how bad it really was. Only the Republicans are stupid enough to try to sell a product by pointing out all of the bad things about it!

Sounds like you’re describing the pathetic Paul Ryan and the gutless GOP House as well.

Now before I get into bashing Rancid Pubies it must be pointed out that under his watch we got the Senate and increased control in the House. Such as it is. He must get some credit for that.

Rancid must walk a fine line and find a balance between the big donor one-worlder class and the real power...the base/Tea Party/right. Up to this point he has managed to keep his job due to the results he has gotten.

That said; as part of the enema the GOPe is in dire need of having, Rancid Pubies must be purged as well. This latest incident just adds to the steaming pile the establishment has left in its wake while attempting to destroy it's own conservative base. And they must pay. And the polls show they will pay dearly and we must not let up.

We must drive a stake into the heart of these betrayers.
One more thing in a small defense of Rancid Pubies....the base is more fired up than ever to destroy the medias’ power and to throw the Rinos to the hogs. (Deadwood style)!

Having read 31 posts to this point, the question still remains unanswered, “why is the GOPe setting up ambushes for their own candidates? The speculation, up to this point, has been wildly divergent and I still dont have a clue as to how this can be happening.

It is obvious and beyond doubt that the democrat debate was a staged HRC charade and great care was taken to protect her and the other democrats.

And it is just as obvious that the repub candidates are being held to a much different standard where attacking their individual credibility and merit is the dominant theme.

WHY? WHY? WHY?

Is it shear incompetence or by design? Can they possibly be so clueless, so stupid? If by design, then what exactly are they (GOPe) trying to accomplish?

You raise some excellent questions!

No, they cannot be clueless or stupid. I am a rank amateur, and even I can see the same pattern over the past 3 (counting this one) election cycles. They are not stupid people.

Cruz had a good idea - only moderators that will likely be voting in the Republican primary should be moderators.

It’s really quite simple. Donald Trump has it right: They’re stupid.

And that is a damn good question. I never knew until last night that the rnc had agreed to this mess. Rinse pribus is as stupid as the moderators for getting into this and every other so called debate so far. Too many candidates on stage for a proper airing of the issues.

My wife and I watched it on youtube last night. It started out as an unprofessional slugfest. The theatrics by the moderators were just childish. None of them are anything but pit yorkies.

Santelli was manic. Talk about your cartoon characters. This guy came out of central casting to play the role some kind of manic reporter.

Cramer was Cramer whom I take as nothing more than cheap and inappropriate entertainment to someone.

The rest were just playing their same stupid left wing mania.

OK, assuming they are not just plain stupid what is the agenda they are hoping to achieve?

I can only conclude one thing by their actions and we continually reject this premise because it goes so far against the grain of our sensibilities. We simply do not want to admit it. What is it?

THERE IS ONLY ONE PARTY AND IT IS NOT THE TRADITIONAL REPUBLICAN PARTY.

The traditional republican party and every person in power has given up and accepted that the scales have tipped. Only we, who are in denial, do not realize that the scales have tipped and the Republic has become a rabble of democracy. de Toqueville has been vindicated. The public can vote all the money from the treasury they want and the political elite will take it from you to give it to them because that is the only way for them to live the good life they crave.

The peasants, the taking class, have been created, empowered and made superior to the working class and have won. The ruling class has been smarter than Louis XVI and turned the takers against the workers and now they watch our own demise form the walls of the Bastille. We can’t turn against them the takers will protect them.

Tripwire Alert – RNC/GOPe Colorado Plan Implodes – Jeb Whiffed in Political Tee Ball…

Posted on  by 

 A whiffer”– a batter who strikes out by swinging at and missing the third strike !

Reince-Priebusjeb bush

Almost everyone, except the political Mossad, have entirely missed the obvious set-up within the Colorado RNC/GOPe debate.  They had a plan, they had a very good plan, this was their home-turf, this was their home audience – this was personal.

The GM, Reince, had gone along with the family and developed a political strategy; a very political strategy.  The umpires:  John Harwood, Carl Quintanilla, were pre-selected, vetted, nudged, and the necessary game-saving political ball was resting easily upon the tee….  But Jeb whiffed !

Yes, RNC Chairman Reince Prebius was angry last night post-debate, but he wasn’t necessarily frustrated by the venue, his frustration was the collapse of the best laid plan. Jeb whiffed.

Colorado is Bush Country – we tried to draw attention to this before the debate.

Colorado is Bush Country – we tried to remind everyone about this during the debate.

 

Colorado is Bush Country – political royalty, may get frustrated by their kids, but they do not give up on them.  EVER.

We have continually stated, the RNC/GOPe will never give up on Jeb Bush.  He is, quite simply, their guy.  The entire construct of two years of developed GOPe road-mapping is contingent upon Jeb Bush as the Wall Street candidate along with Hillary Clinton.

All of the splitters, all of the seed money, all of the professional political class of Billionaire Donors (those advocating globalism), have been aligned for more than a few years to deliver an outcome.

They are frustrated with Little Bush; but no, one whiff will not stop or derail them. You must remember, they have the nomination pre-paid and sitting on electoral layaway. They’ve pre-paid for the pick-ups all the way through April 2017.

~ TWO DAYS PRIOR TO THE DEBATE (The Meeting) ~

Do you really think the Fantasy Football question was just random happenstance?  Do you really think Jeb’s retort of his players, his gamesmanship, was really just an off the cuff remark? If so, we’ve got an ABC George Stephanopolous ‘War-On-Women’ to sell you, real cheap.  High-miles, but well maintained…. great deal.

The set-up question to Senator Marco Rubio, about the Sun Sentinel article calling for his resignation, was a no-brainer.  Both Bush and Rubio knew that one was coming – hence, Rubio had all his previous senate candidate ducks-in-a-row talking points ready to deploy.

However, what was known only to The Family (sworn by code of Omerta), was the follow-up designed to be the ball placed upon the tee for Jeb.

But he whiffed.

Again.

Why?

Because he sucks…. too much silver spoon coddling, not enough callous building.

Daddy Bush (former CIA), just like Grandpappy Bush, delivered Florida for Jeb via Porter Goss (also former CIA), not by merit – by decree.

Trump rubio bush

Meanwhile, Ohio Governor John Kasich was working his wolverine attack role on behalf of the professional political class until Donald Trump delivered a FANTASTIC singular dispatch to Governor Kasich -via the atomic sledgehammer of truth.

Trump exposed Kasich’s boardroom relationship with Lehman Brothers and associated bankruptcy.

How effective was the smack down?  Well, we never heard another squeak from Kasich.  Not only did Trump just shut him down, he delivered the thermonuclear kill shot for Kasich’s entire campaign.

Kasich is done.  (Notice the media today is crickets about John Kasich).

Donald Trump is a brilliant strategist, we initially sold him short on occasion – but these kill shots are devastating.

The almost invisible follow-up wink by Trump to Ben Carson, also the subject of Kasich attacks, was the highlight of the entire night.  And you better believe Carson is smart enough to know what just happened – when it just happened.

Last night played out exactly as the adaptable Donald Trump would anticipate.  The entire anti-Trump coalition of globalists and media co-horts knew an economic forum filled with monetary, budgetary, or fiscal policy wonk-speak would have been in Trump’s strike zone.  As a consequence, CNBC took the debate to other stuff – well outside even their own wheelhouse.

Nothing plays into Trump’s hand better than seeing the field of ‘Splitters’ and their subsequent Super-Pacs, having to justify their candidacy and viability.  Donald Trump has reversed their advantage and is now using their own strategy against them.

There is no better scenario for Donald Trump than to see the field consist of:

Once the ankle biters are removed from the equation, you start getting down to brass tacks.  Each of the candidates below Trump -outlined above- is just as susceptible to the Atomic Sledgehammer of Truth as John Kasich was.

The delicious part of that aspect is a reality that each of those potential victims knows their own vulnerability.  They will be walking around fearful of when Trump uses it.

Operation Hummingbird was successful in that it pushed Marco Rubio closer to the center of the stage which is where the RNC/GOPe wanted him.  They wanted the vulgarian contrast with their well spoken golden boy.

However, in some ways the contrast they were expecting is backfiring:  #1 – Rubio seems even smaller, perhaps nervous, in comparison to the looming and experienced Trump; and #2 – Rubio is actually pulling too much down-stream electoral support away from Jeb, hence the polls.

The other side of the Op Hummingbird equation has failed miserably.  Carly Fiorina, by all accounts, had the most broadcast airtime – yet do you remember a single thing she said amid all of that pursed-lip pontification?    Fiorina sells well amid the GOPe crystal decanter class, but she doesn’t transfer beyond that because she’s an empty pantsuit; all hat and no cattle.

Could it be the GOP is in cahoots the mainstream media and the democrats

Yes, that is precisely the situation. The last two presidential elections the GOP put forward the two worst possible candidates, because their jobs were to lose to the Dems and allow the country to move "forward" by electing progressive Obama.

Jeb's role is the same... take the nomination so he can lose the election to Hillary, close family friend of the Bush family.

D.C. is controlled by the elite uniparty. There's a ton of money to be had by insiders, and they aim to keep their grip on power by hook or crook.

So long as they retain their power and wealth, what is the problem?
