Batten down the hatches! I am convinced the MSM carefully evaluated their strategy and have known that up to the Florida election was the only window they would have to stop FredT. None of the elections to this point, has been a clear cut, objective contest with voters being forced to vote within their own party of registration. They have been only too happy to this point to use their ‘polls’ to shape turnout and opinions, then report the muddling of voters voting across party lines for the specific purpose of hoping to help the opposing party select the candidate that would be the easiest to run against.

Nothing, and mean NOTHING, to this point has even remotely resembled the true nature of what the vote will be the first Tuesday after the first Monday in Nov.

Every aspect of this election to date have been nothing more than carefully manipulated press opportunities, including the ‘debates’ where the audience, moderators and question have been crafted to further muddy the waters.

We go through this BS every four years. Early polls and primary elections being used to shape the race and then reporting the very unrepresentative results as Gospel truth, ignoring or over inflating a candidate, etc.

We’re not going to be able to shape the slanted coverage provided some candidates who are the darlings of the press, BUT, this will be a contest where voters are less likely to be able to use their vote to mess with the process.

Even if it doesn’t go well for FredT at least his team will have some objective data to evaluate what’s going on and make adjustments to their campaign, adjustments that are aimed at the REAL picture, not the Photoshopped BS that we’ve had passed on by the MSM so far. Finally, the opportunity to tilt at something beside windmills!

Run, FredT, run!!

"Early polls and primary elections being used to shape the race .."

Exactly. Open primaries should be shunned by ALL Republicans for the very reason that they give our political enemies an opening to decide FOR us who our candidate will be.
