The latest sunlight onto an increasingly obvious RNC/GOPe scheme comes from the most unlikely source, POLITICO, who highlight their article Wall Street’s Latest Panic.
In very direct ways their article cuts to the very heart of the matter – Wall Street cannot fathom a Donald Trump candidacy – They Planned For JEB!
However, this reality is still met by people who refuse to accept the overall system we call modern 2016 Presidential Politics is entirely the construct of financial stakeholders who have financed, and in 2014 constructed, a political road map for Clinton/Bush 2016.
We still find people who don’t understand the basic element behind this truth:
Jeb Bush is Wall Street, Donald Trump is Main Street !
NEW YORK — Wall Street is growing increasingly terrified that Donald Trump — once viewed as an amusing summertime distraction — could actually win the Republican nomination for president.
The real estate billionaire, who took another populist shot on Sunday by ripping into lavish executive pay, continues to rise in the polls. Would-be Wall Street saviors like Jeb Bush are languishing in single digits. The belief that Trump’s candidacy would quickly fade is now evaporating in a wave of fear.
“I held four lunches for investors in August and at the first one everyone assumed Trump would implode,” said Byron Wien, vice chairman of Blackstone Advisory Partners and a senior figure on Wall Street. “By the fourth one everyone was taking him very seriously. He taps into frustrations that are very real and he is a master manipulator of the media.”
The CEO of one large Wall Street firm, who declined to be identified by name criticizing the GOP front-runner, said the assumption in the financial industry remains that something will eventually knock Trump off and send voters toward a more establishment candidate. But that assumption is no longer held with strong conviction. And a dozen Wall Street executives interviewed for this article could not say what might dent Trump’s appeal or when it might happen.
“I don’t know anyone who is a Donald Trump supporter. I don’t know anyone who knows anyone who is a Donald Trump supporter. They are like this huge mystery group,” the CEO said. “So it’s a combination of shock and bewilderment. No one really knows why this is happening. But my own belief is that the laws of gravity will apply and those who are prepared to run the marathon will benefit when Trump drops out at mile 22. Right now people think Trump is pretty hilarious but the longer it goes on the more frightening it gets.”
The latest frightening broadside for the Wall Street class came on Sunday when Trump said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that executive pay in America is “a complete joke” and promised to raise taxes on “the hedge fund guys.” In a statement sent to POLITICO on Monday from his campaign, Trump relished in the attacks from Wall Street, singling out both Bush and Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, another favorite on Wall Street.

When we stated almost two months ago that unless something rather radical changes the general election movement is headed toward “Donald Trump VS Joe Biden” many thought we were nuts. [ One person didn’t. ]
Why is Trump VS Biden predictable? To answer that question you need to stop looking at the water flowing over the dam in front of you, and start looking ‘downstream’. I’ll explain…
Think about who is at risk to a Trump primary victory? Wall Street, The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, K-Street Lobbyists, Tom Donohue, Mitch McConnell and the entire apparatus of the DC political class, the “power brokers”, or as we like to call them the GOPe.
Now think about who is at risk from a Bernie Sanders victory? You’ll note it’s the exact same players.
Think Long Term – Think about the power broker alignments and their preferred candidates in the General Election.
Jeb Bush VS Hillary Clinton is the ultimate Win/Win.
This is the outcome the Wall Street power brokers, the engineers, constructed within the GOPe road map. This is the outcome that Donald Trump has thoroughly screwed up.
Pause.
Paradigm change ahead:
Candidate Jeb Bush attends Chamber of Commerce dinner with Fox’s Rupert Murdoch and Valerie Jarrett (December 2014)
If you don’t think Rupert Murdoch has skin in this game, think again.
What does an Australian based power broker, financier and Wall Street king, have to gain or lose from a U.S. election?
The Trans-Pacific Trade Deal which entirely involves Australia.
Hence Murdoch’s alignment with the other Wall Street benefactor group U.S. CoC and Tom Donohue et al. Hence, Mitch McConnell changing the rules of the Senate to push the TPP deal through ASAP. Forty percent of the worlds manufacturing and GDP is on the line.
Now go back and look at that picture above again. The White House (Jarrett), Murdoch and Bush all together at a CoC holiday event – What connects them?
Five months later, Mitch McConnell changes the Senate Rules (TPPA) to benefit the White House (Jarrett), Murdoch and the CoC for the TPP deal. Can you see it now?
Again, put yourself in the position of the power brokers; begin thinking downstream consequences to this election cycle, and think about Trump defeating Jeb Bush. What are you left with?
Donald Trump VS Hillary Clinton?
That’s a Lose/Win scenario for this Wall Street group.
Subsequently, the more Hillary becomes weak through her scandals, issues, polling weaknesses and investigative problems, the more she represents a risk of the equation tilting away from the outcome needed by the power brokers.
The GOPe Wall Street crowd must control the outcome to their benefit. They can’t risk having Hillary so compromised. If they cannot defeat Trump, they can only work on the other side of the equation.
As a direct and immediate consequence what do you get?
Donald Trump VS Joe Biden.
A stronger Lose/Win scenario.
Biden becomes a better option, a safer option, than Hillary.
When the power brokers begin to lose control; when the Trump water begins to come over the dam faster than they can direct it, you must look downstream and watch what they are trying to protect. Look where the engineers are are placing the sandbags.
Wherever they are placing their sandbags you will find the house where they are hiding their treasure. This show you the real goals they need to protect.
That’s why we said a month ago look forward, see the “tripwire”, and you can see a Trump V Biden match up being constructed. That’s why they are poll testing Biden VS Trump.
There are tens of trillions at stake in this entire construct. Players within this game never leave anything to chance. Failure, or lack of full control of the outcomes, is not a viable option….
…. yes, as someone keeps saying, it’s all about “DEALS”.
…. Stay tuned !
Just a Reminder, this is an insurgency. – The modern enemy of Wall Street is Main Street vulgarians. The enemy of the RNC/GOPe is not Democrats, it’s Grassroots Conservatives, more vulgarians.
The Republican Party, and the Republican media apparatus, view us as their enemy. We are the enemy they need to protect themselves from:
In 2014, the RNC approved selection rules that govern how each state’s delegates are portioned out from the primaries. Under one of the changes, states holding their primaries between March 1 and March 14 will have their delegates doled out proportionately with election results, a change that will likely stymie a movement candidate.
States that have primaries on or after March 15 will be winner-take-all states.
That’s important because another RNC rule change requires that a candidate must win a majority of delegates in eight or more states before his or her name may be presented for nomination at the 2016 Republican National Convention.
With 18 GOP presidential candidates, for now, it will be that much harder for any candidate to win a majority in any state, let alone eight. (Article July 2015)
Now, ask yourself, why would the RNC want to “stymie a movement candidate“? Who exactly does that benefit? Obviously, the “non-movement” candidate, ie “the turtle“.
Isn’t the entire reason for campaigning in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina etc. to make a movement/momentum?
In addition Rule #40 changed in 2014 from previously five needed state wins, to a newer threshold of eight (8):
Officially, it’s Rule 40 in the RNC handbook and it states that any candidate for president “shall demonstrate the support of a majority of the delegates from each of eight (8) or more states” before their name is presented for nomination at the national convention. (article March 2014)
Again, ask yourself who does this benefit? A candidate can win seven states outright, and still not have their name presented for nomination?
These rules were made/affirmed in 2014 – Who or what exactly was the GOP concerned about blocking in 2016 that would necessitate such rules? When combined with other rule changes you can clearly identify a consolidation of power within the RNC apparatus intentionally constructed to stop the candidate of the GRASSROOTS from achieving victory.
The Rules of the Republican Party

Forget David Rockefeller - he’s just had his 6th heart transplant and may not be a serious consideration in the near future.
I take it you’re not too thrilled.
Unfortunately he did not handle it very well.
With Trump’s effective support of a Clinton? Not at all.
Perot did what he was supposed to do. Perot is to Clinton as Trump is to Clinton, only the centuries have changed.
Now they’re saying that Trump doesn’t have the structure to get on state ballots! HA! How stupid they sound, or desperate.
I voted for Perot.
But he was running as an independent, splitting the GOP vote, and he wasn’t focused on winning, as much as protesting it seems.
Trump is running as a Republican, and he’s leading. By a large margin.
At least you’re consistent. Perot was working to elect a Clinton and we got two terms of hell.
Would you support shuttering the NLRB and ending government unionism?
So it doesn’t matter what he’s saying now? It doesn’t matter about the huge crowds? The GOPe in panic mode? The initial frontrunners now polling in single digits?
What are you looking for?
If we bring back jobs to America.
Absolutely.
But we need to focus on JOBS. Bring back jobs to the USA. Then we can begin tearing down the infrastructure of unions.
But 94,000,000 Americans currently need support. We need to give them jobs, as part of that.
I am focused on jobs. I am not focused on what you’re mentioning.
But when we tear those things down, people need to work.
If we tore those things down now, people would be ... well scr*wed.
Big time. Bring back jobs.
Then tear down the existing structures. But we need many more American jobs right now.
First.
The Revolution is being televised.
Via Earned Media no less!
Lots of information, thanks for posting.
A pleasure! 8^)
And that is why I would support Trump even though he probably leans a little more left than I would like. He is driving the establishment crazy and showing the populace that there is a chance they can affect a change.
It is going to be very entertaining to watch how hysterical the left, the GOPe, and the media get if Trump wins the nomination. You will hear some of the most outrageous things you have ever heard leading up to the election. We are already seeing it on FR from alleged Freepers. I wouldn’t be surprised if things even turn violent. People are literally going to freak out.
Scott Walker is a real conservative. He took on the liberal establishment, against pressure that those outside of Wisconsin cannot begin to fathom, and essentially remade the state in four years - while running and winning three times.
Moreover - Walker is just one of several solid conservatives in the race. It is the height of lunacy to attack people like Cruz and Paul, who have stood against Obama for the past several years as voices in the wilderness, as RINOs - but that is what hear many Trump supporters do...
Trump, on the other hand, is a fake conservative. His contributions have all been to liberals and an occasional RINO. He has, until his suspiciously convenient recent conversion, supported government health care (and even now, promises to replace it with “something terrific” - no thanks) abortion, gun control, higher taxes, been critical of CEO pay (none of government’s business and right out of Bernie’s Soros-issued playbook.) He talked to Clinton before he decided to run.
Trump is no conservative. He’s a stalking horse for Hillary, and you, my gullible FReeper friend, are being played.
“GOPe?” Is that what you call people like Cruz, Paul, and Walker, who have stood and fought the liberal agenda for the past few years?
“Scott Walker is a real conservative”
He is also real damn boring and uninspiring.
When you guys need to keep running long paragraphs to explain why he gets you excited In lieu of actually having this guy’s performance speak for itself, then you are STILL not getting it.
Either Walker stops running like he thinks that this nation is just some larger version of Wisconsin, and some aw shucks persona is good enough because that’s all it takes to win over the sentimental conservative voter, or he can go back to Wisconsin
“Fake” or not, Trump is doing the job that Walker just didn’t see the need to do and just running around flashing the label “real conservative” is not enough.
You obviously haven’t done any real research on Trump and are just parroting what Rove, Will and others have been feeding you.
You may see Walker as a “true Conservative” but please explain to me how that can be true when his best friends and “political soul-mates” are Rience Preibus and Paul Ryan.
