Almost a year ago now, in early 2015, before anyone was officially in the GOP race for the White House, there was an organic frontrunner chosen by a half-million Drudge readers, the most conservative database in America today. That natural frontrunner was Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, who enjoyed a 47% position in the national Drudge poll of almost 500,000 of the most conservative voters in the country, with his closest competitor Sen. Ted Cruz, running a distant second at 11%...
What a difference a year can make...
Today, Walker is no longer in the race at all, Sen. Ted Cruz remains stuck in the lower double digits or single digits among conservative voters and the new frontrunner is the anti-politician business mogul Donald Trump at 36%, as we head into the Iowa caucuses with "natural born Citizen" on the front burner of the 2016 GOP nomination.
Meanwhile, the GOP leadership and their talking heads in the RNC establishment media, Levin, Beck, Hannity and Limbaugh, are taking aim at Trump in an effort to derail his campaign by any means necessary.
Of all people, it is long time Democrat Party pollster and strategist Pat Caddell who calls it right by labeling the Trump campaign an anti-career politician "insurgency" against everyone who hails from inside the Washington DC beltway, in a recent interview with Breitbart. Where are all the brilliant GOP strategists who still have not figured this out yet?
Head Cruzbot cheerleader Glenn Beck recently went so far as to call on all Cruz supporters to "vote for Bernie Sanders" if Ted does not win the nomination, which he is not even eligible to seek. For the first time in decades, we even have Ivy League Law professors, a leftist group by profession these days, admitting that "natural born Citizen" is a "natural law term" wherein True Citizenship (aka natural born Citizen) passes from natural birth Father to their children, inalienable by any man-made law.
If the GOP could do any more to commit political suicide in the 2016 election cycle, I'm not sure what it would be... They whacked their first organic frontrunner, Walker and have spent the past several months trying to eliminate their second frontrunner, Trump.... Why?
It's all about eliminating the natural born Citizen requirement of the Oval Office.... It is that simple!
The bi-partisan effort to eliminate the natural born Citizen (NBC) requirement for the Oval Office via constitutional means, failed eight times between 2003 and 2005. Despite eight separate efforts by members of both political parties to erase the NBC clause from Article II, the requirement for the offices of President and Vice President remain... Unless, they can amend the Constitution by electing another unconstitutional usurper, this time from the GOP, Cruz or Rubio.
Despite the country believing that precedence is law, the fact that Barack Obama is serving out a second unconstitutional term as a foreign usurper to the office, does nothing to amend the US Constitution. It only demonstrates that the people have no more regard for the foundations of freedom than their corrupt politicians today.
Earlier this month, the RNC had an opportunity to stand with their voters and donors in support of an Impeachment Resolution that seeks to uphold and enforce the Rule of Constitutional Law, at the RNC winter meeting in Charleston. The nine member resolutions committee voted 9-0 against the resolution, preventing the full RNC body from even having a say on the matter. Talk about obstructing justice...!
Oddly enough, despite all of the suicidal behavior from both congressional Republicans and RNC members, they still can't figure out why their base constituency is supporting an outsider like Trump... essentially thumbing their nose at RNC and GOP leadership which seems hell-bent upon committing party suicide in 2016.
The RNC is still raising campaign money, but only from big donor insiders, not from the common lifelong GOP voters. The conservative core of the GOP is looking to upset the RNC apple cart in 2016, running away from Senate insiders Rubio, Cruz and Graham, as well as former DC insiders like Gov. John Kasich of Ohio.
The message from GOP faithful could not be any clearer.... They want new leadership willing to take the party and the country in a pro-American conservative pro-capitalist direction and they are sick and tired of the empty campaign promises of all who were already given a chance in congress, to stop Obama's march to socialism, and failed...
Caddell is right... Trump supporters represent an open insurgency against ALL Washington DC insiders on both sides of the aisle. GOP voters do not want any DC insiders, especially constitutionally ineligible candidates like Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. Even Allen West was forced to point out the insanity behind the Cruz crush demonstrated by Glenn Beck and many others.
Now, the Ivy League "experts" continue to run cover for Obama by tying NBC to "born on soil" (jus soli) alone, which eliminates Ted Cruz, but protects Barack Obama and Marco Rubio. However, one did get it almost right when he confirmed that natural born Citizen is a "natural law term" and that congress has no authority over "natural born," but only "naturalized citizenship."
As regular readers know, I am not in the business of endorsing candidates. But I am in the business of commenting on what is happening in the electorate today and what the truth is regarding every candidate, as well as the agenda of the political parties, even when my own party gets it horrifically wrong.
Indeed, all signs indicate that the national GOP leadership should be placed on suicide watch, because you couldn't kill off a once powerful party any better than it is being destroyed by current party leadership today.
If Hillary Clinton or God forbid, Bernie Sanders, the proud open Marxist who is currently leading in the DNC Iowa polls, becomes the next U.S. President, it will be only because the GOP cannibalized itself to death.... For a change, Iowa may actually be an indicator of what is to come in the GOP nomination process this time... If even caucus goers run away from the DC insiders in search of new leadership, it will become impossible for anyone to stop Trump after that!
* BUMP * Pretty good article.
I totally agree. We had the nastiest gubernatorial primary here in Kentucky, and the upshot was that the only guy who supposedly had never been near government became the governor, a person who calls himself a businessman. The other three GOP potentials had all held government office. Voters aren’t having it.
Rush is unequivocally taking Trump's side in this matter. I stopped reading right there.
Nah, just another hit piece.
No, he is not.
The RNC/GOP sold its soul to The Cheap Labor Express years ago.
If they continue to thwart the will of the people to stop the illegal alien inundation they will have donors but not voters.
Both parties wanted the definition of natural born citizen changed. They both wanted to run ineligible candidates. That is why there was not one person willing to stop The Usurper from assuming office.
The Constitution was forfeited on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009
The coalition that wins in 2016 comprises of 70%R 65%I 20%D.
There is only one candidate that can lose 15% of the R vote and still pull it off with yuge Indie numbers................The Donald
I’ve narrowed my choices to Trump and Cruz and have to make up my mind by May 17th (an eternity).
I’m leaning Trump now since I feel that he has the best chance to get Indie voters and Reagan dems.
Glad to see JB Williams back.
I stopped reading after about the third paragraph. There were just too many incoherencies. Beck is taking aim at Trump, for sure. But the others? This is the main howler: The writer is claiming that no one but him has recognized that Trump's candidacy is fueled by multi-partisan disgust with the entire political establishment.
Does the man have a radio or know how to read?
You must not listen to Rush much. The other day, on his show, it was very apparent he was a Cruz supporter. Then, yesterday, he spent the whole first hour trying to extract himself from the pile of excrement he stepped in.
Yes what a LOAD... Article is full of half truths and outright crap. GOP may be on death watch but only for straying from conservationism and heading left to Trump and Rinos like Rubio, Christy and Bush. Ted Cruz 2016 NO 2nd choice.
Fox News sealed it for me.
I am now all in for Mr. Donald Trump.
I will still be EXTREMELY HAPPY if Senator Ted Cruz wins the nomination.
However, I am now convinced the GOP is corrupt; big donors and the politicians they rent ... several on the cheap.
Noticed that too did you. I love Rush and wish he would stop the games and just come out for Ted. It would be a big boost to his candidate.
POST OF THE DAY!
“There is no distinctly American criminal class - except Congress.” - Mark Twain
I said more than 4 months ago now this exact thing here on FR. I said Trump doesn't just appeal to Conservatives or right of center Republicans, that he also appealed largely to blue-dog/blue-collar Democrats and right of center Democrats as well. That was MONTHS before anyone in the media or the so-called political pundits/experts started picking up on Trump's appeal to Democrats (and many STILL haven't picked up on that.)
It is the blue-dog/blue-collar and right of center Democrats who feel as abandoned by their party as Conservatives / right of center Republicans feel about the GOP.
This was the Reagan Coalition, folks. I'm not saying Trump is anything like Ronald Reagan (he's not ....) I was simply pointing out then that Trump's "make America great again" appealed in a big way to the folks identified above.
The thing that the RNC/GOP and the hacks in the liberal media consistently miss, is that Donald Trump is the weapon being used to dismantle the GOP-E and their stranglehold on the party.
Trump's candidacy and success is a direct result of the GOP abandoning its core constituents. They acted with impunity FOR DECADES while Conservatives and right of center Republicans felt they had nowhere else to go while the Democrat party marched more and more to the extreme left.
Now we have blue-dog/blue-collar/right of center Democrats feeling the same way as the Democrat party swings hard to the Progressive Extremist Left while worshiping at the altar of political correctness, homosexual marriage, environmental extremism, rejecting God and Natural Law, works actively to tear down the moral fabric of our country and advocates for America being over-run by uneducated, dependent on the Government criminal, illegal aliens in an attempt to shore up their own stranglehold on political power.
This is TYRANNY against the American People! There is no better word to describe it!
Why some people seemingly have NO CLUE as to why Donald Trump has risen so far, so fast and stays on top simply indicates to me how ignorant they truly are as to what's happening to this country and who's been enabling this "change."
That's BOTH political parties, folks. Wake up.
I do not think Hussein is even a citizen, much less Natural Born. If that aberration is not corrected it will become generally known, perhaps proclaimed byt Hussein himself at the end of his term or after it in order to accomplish what the globalists want which is to open up the US Presidency to the candidacy of anyone on Earth.
They ALL need to go. Every. Last. One of them.
