* 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.

What I love about the comments on this thread is that people keep underestimating Trump. They have no idea what kind of ground game he has going on. If you know Trump he plays to win. PERIOD.
No one knows what he is up to except Trump and his lieutenants.
Trump will win Iowa and run the table in February in crushing momentum and wrap up the nomination very early!
Please,please, please keep underestimating him. That always works in his favor.
name one
W and Bob Dole are hardly stellar examples
Since these have only been going on for ~30 years and most often the winner isn’t the nominee.....who cares?
That is fun, and they change it around with every new poll. 8^)
Please,please, please keep underestimating him. That always works in his favor.
They do here. You only have to look no farther than on this thread. ;-)
I see you signed up today.
Are you blaming Trump for the politics of his father-in-law?
What choice could Trump’s wife have had about where she was born?
Why of all things do you make that your first post?
Iowa does not primary. They caucus.
That was my point about him being underestimated.
From the very first day he announced they have underestimated him and they continue to do that.
Trump is a fierce, fierce competitor and a brilliant strategist and they keep getting fooled while he gets bigger and bigger. This month Trump is on track to add 500,000 subscribers to his twitter account. No candidate can even get near this kind of growth.
And yet they think he is cooked. This simply is a delight watching him operate. Like stealing candy from babies.
LoL pretty much.
They live in fantasy land that is about to get explode apart in the not so distant future. And yeah Trump does not like to lose.
So, you watched the Shawshank Redemption. Great movie.
I am not being obtuse. In fact my warning and criticism is quite acute.
The Donald says the right things. And I think he’s been vetted more than any candidate, ever. I am sure I could puller the lever for him over Clinton 100% of the time.
Trump is a northeast republican. Much like some MA republicans, like Bill Weld and Scott Brown. Even Charlie Baker. There are social issues that he will compromise on that will drive conservatives nuts.
I am simply warning my friends here—ones who live and die on conservative social issues—that Trump will disappoint.
Is there anyone better? Anyone more “electable?” Nope.
We have always wanted government run like a business. It will be interesting to watch this evolve. I am not ready to swear him in. I am going to wait to see how this plays out.
I hope that was acute enough.
Thanks--I had not realized that.
The improvement is noted.:)
All caucus and primaries before March 15th, including the SEC (Texas) award their delegates proportionately.
Nobody starts running away with it (including Trump) until Florida.
Then it's a long sled of big, winner-take-all states with very large media markets.
FL, NY, PA, OH, NC, CA and many more.
It will be at least late April before the outcome is known.
And it would be downright thrilling if everything came down to California on June 7th with it's winner-take-all 172 delegates.
Epic.
We’ll see what happens ..
Doesn’t it bother the NOOB, that if Trump loses to Sanders, then our President will be a Communist?
Bad news if you like conservatism, good news if you like Donald Trump.
looks like he got the ZOT after only one post.
No
