The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Lobbying Efforts 2015:

Maintain Obamacare without repeal or adjustment.
Promotion of federal Common Core education standards.
Comprehensive immigration reform to include amnesty.
Trans-Pacific Trade Deal Approval.

Both Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush support these legislative priorities. They, along with Mitch McConnell et al, have been lobbied (campaigns paid) to support them. Failure is not an option. The game has been rigged. Wall Street will not be denied. Period.

I understand Trump is going to Boycott Fox. Its gotten to a point where every fox show except Hannity bashes Trump 24/7

Fox is so stupid, Jeb isn’t liked, Carly is a failed CEO and loves Hillary video makes her a Joke if she ever ran against Hillary.

Ailes should resign, I used to watch fox but no longer.

So CNN and the moderators are now in cahoots with Rove to do his bidding - the same liberal media who wanted him “frog-marched” into prison for the whole Plame nonsense? Yeah. Right.

I remember what Tokyo Rove did to Christine O'Donnell while she was giving her acceptance speech for winning the GOP Delaware Primary for Senator.

I remember what the Delaware GOP did to Christine O'Donnell once she won the nomination.

I will not forget.

Go pound sand Tokyo Rove.

But isn't Hannity still a useful idiot for the GOPe because he has Rove on all the time or has he finally wised up?

Thank you for that, ‘pod.

Chris Coons has been a disaster as a Senator, earning the sobriquet “Harry Reid’s pet”.

Christine O’Donnell would have been a much better Senator.

“Candidate Jeb Bush attends Chamber of Commerce dinner with Fox’s Rupert Murdoch and Valerie Jarrett (December 2014)”

“Come to the Celebrity Ball”

“Come to the Globalists Ball”

The original “Operation Hummingbird” is now informally known as the “Night of the Long Knives”.

I’ve heard this before. Dilute the field so Bush can with the first few primaries with 15-20% of the vote and keep Cruz/Walker/Paul from becoming the nominee.

Obviously the plan did not take into account Trump (and/or Carson) from getting into the race and soaking up all the support.

Lou Dobbs has been fair to Donald every time that I have watched Dobbs.

But much of Fox-and certainly Bill O'Reilly just reflects common media biases.

But that said, I would not have thought that Fox would be stupid enough to follow a Rove directed project. As I have said before, Rove has all the analytical ability of lichen on the shady side of a rock.

He was on Fox News talking about the disaster she would be if she was Senator. He talked about how unfit she was for the job.

IIRC.

He might as well as be a NYT reporter, or an MSLSD talking head.

“Fox is so stupid, Jeb isn’t liked, Carly is a failed CEO...”

There are many people who cannot see that the likes of Carly, Rubio, and others are nothing more than GOPe shills just like Jeb. The propaganda is being spewed far and wide at Fox.

Rove's central problem is too much misunderstood data. He knows how many identifiable segments of the public thought yesterday. He does not understand how to change those opinions. Hence he is constantly chasing after attitudes, with no clue what they really signify.

I have no personal hostility to the man; but after watching him since his abysmal incompetence in the 2000 campaign, it has become ever clearer that he is a terrible liability to Republican prospects and American interests.

I do not want to sound cruel; but over and over again, he has illustrated this basic failing.

Rove’s school is that magic words can allow ANYONE to win a race.

Magic words during the election and presto an election only conservative.

Candidates do not control, those with the gold control.
