It’s been right there all along; a sense, an instinctual sense, a gut feeling, since late June 2015, and in all the subsequent months, it just kept reoccurring – and with the passing of events, each time it became more and more difficult to dismiss….
Before getting to the heart of this entirely speculative presentation, and specifically because it’s so far out there that, well, if accurate, a litany of people will claim we had to hold some insider connection, we must restate and remind everyone – we have never had any contact with any entity from the Donald Trump organization. Period.
Two semi-connected articles surface recently which tip the scales toward actually sitting down and writing these words.
One is an obscure but accurate summary of the GOPe Road Map and Splitter Strategy (which we have outlined since 2014, and presented with specific detail in 2015) which a person took up, expanded and tried to explain in one article – presented HERE. The second article is a more mainstream source, the New York Times presented HERE. (both should be absorbed)
Now let me try to explain.
When Donald Trump announced his candidacy on June 16th 2015, something odd presented itself almost immediately. Within the oddity you will actually find the reason why CTH was supportive of Trump from the first day of his announcement. You see, the odd thing was Team Trump did stuff almost ‘as if’ he/they knew the same things we had been writing about for the 18 months previous.
In June, July, and August 2015, the actions Trump was taking, the specific things he was doing and saying, were exactly the things we would predict a candidate would do and say if they too knew the GOPe Road Map and Splitter Strategy was the grand scheme to be defeated. But it couldn’t be, right? Right?
I mean c’mon. There’s no way this guy could actually have tracked all those insider meetings in DC (2013, 2014) and beyond: with the RNC Rules Committee, the national and then state RNC apparatus’s, the BIG donors, the Wall Street affiliates, the professional consulting class, the legislative leaders and meetings with Tom Donohue (CoC) etc. There’s no way he could have looked at all of it and reached the same conclusion.
I mean, there’s no way this guy would have looked at all of it and come to the same conclusion as this little obscure discussion blog on the internet that no-one pays any attention to. Right?
Ridiculous. Right?
Yet the stuff Trump was doing, was ‘as if’ he were two steps ahead of them. Heck, in hindsight, two months ahead of them.
When we outlined the pathway for Jeb Bush it seemed incredulous even to ourselves, so when people said we were nuts, whacko, conspiracy theorists, and “good researchers on other stuff who have jumped the shark to the land of insanity” (that one from Lucianne was LOL funny), it did not come as a surprise.
However, as each domino hit the next domino in the strategic sequence we had outlined in the road-map and splitter strategy, via tripwires, something weird happened. The shouts of derision grew quieter and quieter.
But the entire thing still seemed rather unfathomable even to us as we tried to explain the unexplainable, and contextualize something that was infinitely more Machiavellian than we could rightfully explain. Yet now, almost everyone accepts the broad strokes of the GOPe constructed plan were indeed as they always seemed to be in the original outline back in 2014 and early 2015.
But that’s not the point.
The weird part was watching a presidential campaign operate ‘as if’ they knew all of this stuff even further afield of our own advance recon efforts.
One of the key aspects that kept drawing us back to this sense of campaign synergy was how relentless Trump was on Jeb Bush. Even when Jeb dropped to 4% in the polls, Trump kept nailing him and keeping him from re-emerging. It was ‘as if’ his campaign knew the goal would always be Jeb – and that is the foundational block of the entire GOPe plan all along.
Here’s the even more crazy speculation part. I’m now almost 80% convinced that Donald Trump came to the same conclusion of the GOPe intent as we presented on these pages for the past 18+ months. Somehow, when he announced/launched his exploratory committee is was not an “exploration” of viability per se’, but rather a 3 month strategy session for how to defeat the entire apparatus underpinning the plan.
There are just too many coincidences, too many specific moves that were taken, which align with what a campaign would need to do – if they too reached the same ultimate conclusion.
Having said that, it appears in hindsight the phrase “let Trump be Trump“, was not about letting candidate Donald Trump be the overly brazen vulgarian larger than life figure who somehow manages to find a way to turn certain defeat into victory.
No, “let Trump be Trump” in this context is: Let Donald Trump execute the careful plan he has developed over the past several years, to eliminate the hurdles that no-one sees, except him, that lay afore him.
You see, this Trump is the intensely strategic long-range planner Trump who has developed his own roadmap to defeat their scheme. All of it “them”, and all of “it”.
If this overwhelming ‘spidey-sense’, this crazy speculation you are reading, is actually accurate, then EVERYTHING you are seeing today – which everyone sees as reactionary – is not a reaction, but a calculated and methodical pro-active plan. A brilliant plan.
A brilliant plan filled with intense foresight and insanely high levels of strategic thinking which even includes pre-staging people, events, and situations along a very specific path where and when Donald Trump knows he will need them.
If this is accurate, and again I reassert this is insanely speculative, this also implies the Chris Christie aspect was indeed a calculated pre-determined move at least 18 months ago. And what’s more, even beyond Chris Christie, there’s every reason to believe Trump has an ally in at least one more camp still in the race.
My hunch is now telling me there’s a person who was bitterly betrayed by the “establishment” inside Team Cruz; and almost everyone can guess who that person is (with enough thought, and a paradigm shift toward pre-planning). A person waiting, like a trigger, to be pulled if needed. However, at this point it’s doubtful they will be needed.
If you are still with me, and if you are generally understanding what this means in the larger context, then we must also accept that Trump specifically knew what lines of attack would come when the GOPe entered their desperation mode. [“A drowning man is also a danger”]. If accurate Trump would have pre-planned for the racist attack, for the sexist attack, and for the financial attack (tax returns) etc.
A level of pre-planning that puts him in a position to actually create the attack itself and make it useful. Meaning, he’s baiting them.
Every move pre-planned, every action -while seeming to be a reaction- is actually a pro-active execution of the plan. Let Trump be Trump, is let Trump execute his plan.
If accurate, Trump is intentionally giving the appearance of vulnerability in order to bait the opposition into an attack he has a crushing response already previously thought out.
If his opponent doesn’t attack strongly enough to create the benefit of the intended impact he desires, he simply appears more vulnerable; and that makes his opposition attack with more intensity. However, all-the-while Trump is waiting patiently to use the atomic sledgehammer, waiting, waiting, waiting….
He wants to be called a racist, he has a plan for it. He wants to be called a sexist, he has a plan for it. He wants them to attack intensely because the responses are more valuable when the attack is strongest. In short, he has thought through all the angles, all of the ‘if-this-then-that’ approaches. He’s been months ahead the entire time.
If accurate, Trump is baiting the RNC/GOPe because he knew all along that removing Jeb Bush would lead to an open convention challenge. To bring out all the enemies into one battle venue, he needs to give them a trail to follow – he needs all of them to come out of the shadows feeling safe in their attack (See Paul Ryan today).
Donald Trump wants his enemies, America’s embedded enemies, emboldened and feeling empowered. He also wants to give the illusion of vulnerability – he’s drawing them out.
I told you this was “out there”. But if even remotely accurate, my hunch is Trump has some major “closing surprises” just waiting to be triggered…
…perhaps tonight.
I completely agree with this. I think he mapped out a strategy long ago and is sticking to it. I think Christie was a mole. I think every statement he makes is said on purpose. He’s executing every step in the “Art of the Deal” and this is the biggest deal of his life.
No way.
How the GOP Insiders Plan to Steal the Nod from Trump
Very interesting article detailing how a group with no conscience at all can f**k others over who do follow the rules.
Good point. Here’s my response: Guy Jackson, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Now where is yours and Sundance’s?
When have I ever posted articles from **funpants guys**? Though I do have to admit with a handle like funpants he could be interesting.
Doesn’t matter. Any third party by Trump or other ‘Pubbie contenders will result in President Hillary!.
My personal hope is that Bloomberg will run as third party and split the Democrats, but I don’t think it will happen.
I have no doubt that they will try everything to stop us from stopping The Cheap Labor Express.
Flooding the country with foreigners comes first.
I don’t think they care if they blow up the party, they’ll burn it to the ground before they will let us keep our country.
If I ever get Zotted, I’m coming back as funpants.
You really do not keep with election stuff, do you?
It is estimated that come November 2016, Donald Trump will have 73Million+ votes to win the Presidency. Who needs political parties?
Thanks humblegunner. Actually I do write occasionally, AND I always put my name on it.
I hope they Google me to see that I’m real.
All my best,
Guy “Gwjack”
Yea, I’ve had an inkling that he’s been baiting the press and the opponents.
If this is true, then Trump is definitely a guy I want at the top.
Why would he need too? HE IS WINNING. You want to destroy the elite you change the party from within. Starting a 3rd party gets you nowhere fast. Are there any logical Trump supporters?
Yes, it all looks very bad, especially when you throw in the superdelegates that Hillary already has.
And yet, the horse may learn to sing!
I said it to family and friends at work, “Remember this day, August 9, 2015”. “Donald Trump is the next President”. Some (family and friends) were skeptical.
He will be dropped from the ballot in Ohio and a few other states if he runs as anything other than republican. The GOP convinced some states to change election laws so that you can’t change political party in the middle of the election. I read this a while back, I’m 85% sure this is the case...
I believe Sundance has a man-crush on the Trumpinator. I think the Donald has tapped into the middle class angst, I don’t see it as a grand master plan that was put in motion 18 months ago. Trump pivots too much for that.
Don’t know what these guys think they know that is so secret or what. Everyone knew 2 years ago that Jeb Bush was the GOPe choice. Common sense is attack the man that is the biggest threat. Bush, more accurately, his bankrollers, was the biggest threat.
Everyone knew Cruz had no support from the GOPe. They hate him worse than Trump. Trump and the GOPe attacked Cruz when Carson screwed up and Cruz made the mistake of NOT correcting the original legitimate report. Carson WAS indicating he was dropping out.
Your worse enemy!
Yep
