* You might be noting the corporate media selling a “surging Cruz” nipping on the heels of Donald Trump narrative. Be thankful.
* You might also be noting the corporate media selling a “more palatable Chris Christie” narrative as an option to the vulgarian uprising represented in Donald Trump. Again, be thankful.
It’s only when the corporate media is NOT predictable, that any concern should rise.
Somewhere between the origin of the GOPe Roadmap, The Tripwires, The Splitter Strategy and Operation Hummingbird, people have caught on. The validity of predicting what they do, before they do it, and seeing it actually play out exactly as designed has awakened the majority.
…Remove Donald Trump – then: Carson becomes Herman Cain, Ted Cruz becomes Newt Gingrich, and Jeb Bush/Marco Rubio can stroll into the role of Mitt Romney 2012…
However, none of the current plans can succeed until the primary issue is resolved, ie. the removal of Donald Trump. Hence, we are now fully immersed in the predictable “Alliance Phase”:
* One goal is to make Chris Christie a palatable alternative to Trump. Target the Republican voter who will never support Jeb but is vulnerable to the media influence creating fear of Trump. Hence today, 12/22/15, their push is: The vulgarian Trump “is an embarrassment”
* One goal is to elevate Ted Cruz hoping to push Trump supporters his way, then wedge issue similar voters toward Rubio. Hence today, 12/22/15, their push is: “Cruz is right behind Trump – and is the only candidate to beat Hillary”
* The last goal is to keep Jeb Bush alive as a viable candidate.
Don’t think those prior predictions were entirely accurate? Well, let’s take a closer look at today’s quinnipiac polling. Setting aside the top-line poll data for a moment, and again check out the construct of the press released statement from Quinnipiac (highlighted for emphasis):

Do you see the narrative as presented?
Donald Trump and the word “embarrassed” used five times in the top half of the very first presentation page. This is not accidental.
Was this question asked for any other GOP candidate other than Trump? Of course not, that wouldn’t aid the selling of it.
Donald Trump rallies with tens-of-thousands several times a week, yet “Ted Cruz is snapping at his heels“? Too funny – but it gets even sillier.
Do you notice the non-congruent narrative juxtaposition? All of a sudden the most polarizing political figure in the history of GOP politics, Ted Cruz, has miraculously found a way to tie Hillary Clinton?
This “Ted Cruz-the-Bridge-builder-to-Democrats narrative” is not only antithetical to all previous and current polling, it’s profoundly antithetical to common sense.
It takes a very particular poll sample to generate such a result. A polling sample where only 4% of GOP respondents value gun ownership rights higher than climate change concerns….
….Let that emphasis sink in for a minute.
( FULL POLL DATA )
PING!!!
Trump needs to concentrate on Iowa
Woohoo! Thanks for the ping. GO TRUMP!!
Love the pictures!
Looks like Trump is giving them all a schalacking!
I’m jealous! LOL!
Key excerpt...
“It takes a very particular poll sample to generate such a result. A polling sample where only 4% of GOP respondents value gun ownership rights higher than climate change concerns….
Hogwash.
Iowa is a resource sink that means nothing for the nomination.
He'll cede it to Cruz, or Cruz will win it the old fashioned way...and it won't matter a wit.
Pew research 12/19 - 12/30 Clinton +20
FOX News 12/18 - 12/19 Clinton +29
Cook/RT Strategies 12/15 - 12/17 Clinton +12
NBC/WSJ 12/14 - 12/17 Clinton +22
USA Today/Gallup 12/14 - 12/16 Clinton +18
Rasmussen 12/13 - 12/16 Clinton +13
Reuters/Zogby 12/12 - 12/14 Clinton +8
National polls this far out, when people are not tuned into the race and focusing on the holidays don't mean much for predicting who will win the primaries. We still have plenty of primary left and as 2008 shows, it's still waaaayyyyy too early to crown a winner.
I want one! 8^)
We’ve tried a subversive, American hating Marxist bastard. Maybe it’s time we try a kick-ass leader who loves his country and wants to see it prosper.
This really jumped out at me. A great article.
only 4% of GOP respondents value gun ownership rights higher than climate change concerns
Nonsense.
Iowa has voted RAT in the general election for numerous recent elections.
It is not a bell weather state. Everybody knows that.
Iowa worked pretty well for George W. Bush, Obama, and Carter. Trump’s problem is that he has a very weak ground game in the primary states. Iowa is the first domino to tumble for Cruz and could lead to major momentum for the rest of the primary, especially in South Carolina and the SEC were Cruz has the most impressive ground game in the race.
Not really, Iowa is a resource waster. Trump should finish in the top 3, that’s all that’s needed.
You can’t begin to compare the two so please stop.
So who’s your Obama in the Republican primaries?
Trump leads in TX, SC, NC, SC, NH, NV, MA, IL, GA, FL and CT.
