THE OLIGARCHS' SUPER-PAC ANTI-TRUMP SAVAGERY
WND ^ | 3-7-16 | PATRICK J. BUCHANAN

Posted on 03/07/2016 6:00:40 PM PST by dynachrome

Fully 116 members of the GOP’s national security community, many of them veterans of Bush administrations, have signed an open letter threatening that, if Trump is nominated, they will all desert, and some will defect – to Hillary Clinton!

“Hillary is the lesser evil, by a large margin,” says Eliot Cohen of the Bush II State Department. According to Politico’s Michael Crowley, Cohen helped line up neocons to sign the “Dump-Trump” manifesto.

Our Principles PAC, backed by Nebraska’s billionaire Ricketts family, has poured millions into trashing Trump. American Future Fund is dumping $1.75 million in Florida this week; Club for Growth $1.5 million.

Hedge-fund billionaire Paul Singer is backing the Conservative Solutions PAC, which has dumped millions into anti-Trump ads and plans to spend more than $7 million between March 1 and 15, with $4 million of that going into Florida. The super PAC pile-on is unprecedented.

Good work on the money trail!

Trump is spending in Ohio now, thank goodness. You have to counter at some point. Go here and listen to the audio.

Kasich vs. Trump Starts to Take Shape in Ads and in Ohio Voters' Minds

The ads against Trump saying he is like the Nazis and he "will get you next"...basically. It's sickening. Kasich is a little weasel. Acting like he's the nice guy when his name is attached to an ad and letting the Super Pacs do the dirty work for him.

Did you total that?

I’ve speculated on other threads that Trump needs to start spending around $100 million a month. He has almost the entire Establishment / media against him.


Its well over 25 million but it does not include anything coming out of a candidates “Campaign Committee”.

It is going to get a whole lot worse, soon.

Want to know Trump’s biggest weakness? Optimism.

So far I don’t see Trump spending millions of his own money on TV and radio advertising to counteract this advertizing barrage from the oligarchy SuperPacs. If this continues then you will know that Trump has given up and this is how he quits without being called a quitter. He wants to exit with his pride intact.
Trump will go to the Republican convention without a majority of delegates. The Republican honchos will then snatch the nomination for someone like John Kaisich with Marco Rubio as VP. And Trump won’t mind because he wants out anyway

Just my theory!

Club for Growth is spending 2 million in Illinois
__________________

$2 million in anti-Trump Illinois ads

Monday, Mar 7, 2016

* Press release…

Club for Growth Action, a political arm of the Club for Growth, released the following statement about a new ad buy that is starting today in Illinois:

“The momentum is shifting away from Donald Trump,” said Club for Growth Action president David McIntosh. “Overwhelming wins by Senator Ted Cruz in Kansas and Maine, and a delegate tie in Louisiana showed that Republican voters don’t want a big-government liberal like Donald Trump at the top of the GOP ticket. They know that Trump would cost Republicans the White House, the Senate majority, and, ultimately, the Supreme Court. It will be no surprise to see the numbers tighten in tomorrow’s primaries and caucus. As voters come to know Trump’s record, they will turn to true pro-growth conservatives.

“Primary voters need to know that Trump has spent years arguing for far-left positions on taxes, health care, bailouts, and the abuse of eminent domain. And now he sounds like the worst kind of politician, warning voters that he will change positions when he feels like it. The shell game that is the Trump candidacy needs to be stopped.”

Club for Growth Action is spending about $2 million for ads that are airing on statewide broadcast and cable TV in Illinois, along with digital ads. The two ads were both aired previously and successfully in Iowa. The first ad also played a significant role in Trump’s loss in Oklahoma.

Trump better get ready to spend 2-7 million in many states because it looks like his opponents will be doing this. The easy no-brainer conclusion is that the anti-trump forces want to deny him a majority of delegates going into the Republican Convention. My opinion....this is far from an impossible task if the anti-Trump super-pacs spend enough millions on TV. And it looks like they are collectively gearing up to do this.

Millinos in attacks on Trump and not a dime of this GOPe money attacking Cruz. Seems GOPe is juts fine with career politician Cruz.

It has been obvious for some time now that althought Cruz is disliked at a personal level by the uniparty he is a card carrying member of the uniparty and thus accepable, not the preffered candidate but still acceptable.

They duped Bush into spending trillions of American treasure and wasting rivers of young blood in their Iraq pipedream.

I'm not as critical of Bush for Iraq as you guys are, who have apparently (to me) bought a lot of the treacherous revisionist crap shoveled out by the Iscariots of the DemonRat Party -- who supported Bush right up to the minute the first tanks reached Baghdad, then turned on him, something I think they planned to do for almost a year before they did it.

The factor Bush and his neocons didn't figure on was the Chinese sending PLA rankers to pep-talk Saddam and sell him the rope-a-dope idea, that he could hide out in the desert and run a guerrilla war of attrition -- Gen III war -- until the Americans packed it in and went home, leaving Saddam to crawl out of his hole and claim victory. That was the "unknown unknown" that bit Shrub, that and the Russian airlift that whisked Saddam's and Dr. Death's WMD to Syria before the Marines could get there.

Inspectors did find solid evidence of Iraqi WMD programs, but the fully engorged and tingling 'RatMedia filtered all that out, shoved it to Page A-11, and shut down the Bush narrative and substituted the 'Rat narrative: "Bush lied, people died"/"Four legs good, two legs bad."

So I'm not as tough on Arbusto, and he and his generals did a good job scoring the go-ahead touchdown with the Surge. What has happened since, is due solely to Soetoro's malevolence and arraunt.

And the Iranians, and their tools, of course.

We owe them, and we owe the Chinese, a very great deal of payback. Which of course should be served cold, in the Italian manner.

They are not attacking Cruz. Cruz is using the same talking points the GOPe attack ads on Trump, that should tell you something.
