Politico: Warner's Presidential Hopes Depends on Taking Down Trump

Please Senator Warner! Please find our Great Pumpkin and we will reward you with a presidential nomination!

The Great Pumpkin in this case is proof of collusion between the Donald Trump campaign and Russia to somehow change the 2016 election results. After weeks of fervent searching by both the Democrats and their mainstream media allies, no proof of their Great Pumpkin which could bring electoral salvation has been found.

They still continue to search with the spotlight now on Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, who is the ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee. The reward for finding their Great Pumpkin is a ticket to the presidency as Politico reminded us in their April 13 conditional puff piece by Austin Wright:

The Great Pumpkin is out there somewhere. If we keep looking and wish hard enough perhaps it will materialize in our dimension to save us from the Trumpacalypse.

Only the most militant and noisy Trump-haters can fire up the base and have a chance at the nomination in 2020. That means the nominee will have to be someone who makes himself or herself obnoxious to all Republicans and most middle-of-the-road non-political types.

So Trump should be in pretty good shape if he doesn't self-destruct, or doesn't fall victim to a terrorist attack or a Democrat-sponsored "executive action."

Ever wonder how politics turned into a take-no-prisoners blood sport? The New York Times bestselling author of Stonewalled pulls back the curtain on the shady world of opposition research and reveals the dirty tricks those in power use to influence your opinions.

Behind most major political stories in the modern era, there is an agenda; an effort by opposition researchers, spin doctors, and outside interests to destroy an idea or a person. The tactic they use is the Smear. Every day, Americans are influenced by the Smear without knowing it. Paid forces cleverly shape virtually every image you cross. Maybe you read that Donald Trump is a racist misogynist, or saw someone on the news mocking the Bernie Sanders campaign.

The trick of the Smear is that it is often based on some shred of truth, but these media-driven "hit pieces" are designed to obscure the truth. Success hinges on the Smear artist’s ability to remain invisible; to make it seem as if their work is neither calculated nor scripted. It must appear to be precisely what it is not.

Veteran journalist Sharyl Attkisson has witnessed this practice firsthand. After years of being pitched hit jobs and puff pieces, she’s an expert at detecting Smear campaigns. Now, the hard-hitting investigative reporter shares her inside knowledge, revealing how the Smear takes shape and who its perpetrators are—including Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal and, most influential of all, "right-wing assassin turned left-wing assassin" (National Review) political operative David Brock and his Media Matters for America empire.

Attkisson exposes the diabolical tactics of Smear artists, and their outrageous access to the biggest names in political media—operatives who are corrupting the political process, and discouraging widespread citizen involvement in our democracy.

Harry Truman is said to have described a prominent Pubbie with “the son-of-a-bitch is no good.” We might have to extend the reach of that phrase to the Senator from Virginia.

Senator from Virginia. Useless. He was useless as Governor before that. Tries to portray himself as a centrist but always toes the party line.

Really? Did you hear his comments when the Senate Intelligence Committee announced its investigation?

It is comforting to see that Virginia is trying to emulate Minnesota with the quality of its Senators: Keane and Warner. Good competition for Franken and Klobuchar.
