When little known Chris McDaniel beat entrenched republican senator Thad Cochran in the first Mississippi primary of 2014 it triggered a series of events that became known simply as "Mississippi '14".
The entrenched DC republican elite developed a plan to destroy McDaniel before the run-off primary. They decided to call McDaniel a racist, pay for print and broadcast attack ads, request help from black Mississippi pastors, and pay Democrats, preachers and voters to vote in the run-off election. Republicans in DC attacking a republican outsider.
Their Machiavellian plan worked. In the run-off Chris McDaniel again beat Thad Cochran with republican voters, but the paid-to-vote Democrats lifted Cochran back onto the throne in the elite Republican Chamber.
Against the desperation of a South Carolina victory for Donald Trump, and now a Nevada victory for Donald Trump, the DC Republican team have re-enlisted the exact same players to roll out a similar nuclear attack approach against the 'outsider republican'.
Appearing on Bloomberg News the former Mississippi architect, Stuart Stevens, and Mississippi financier/bag-man, Henry Barbour, who carried out the Mississippi Strategy - openly admit their intent to use the same level of vitriol to remove Donald Trump.
See the Video Here (at 23:10) as Stuart Stevens and Henry Barbour are assembled again to discuss the process of "taking down Trump". Stevens fully admits to the Mississippi 2014 strategy and how it will work in 2016 against Donald Trump.
So how do they do it? Simple, it's war - a thermonuclear political war. There are no boundaries, there are no rules, there is nothing too far, there is nothing held back.
They run attack ads, they'll shout names and make up malicious smears; they'll follow the candidate around to make noise at rallies; they lie about anything and everything; they'll pay anyone and everyone to assist, and they don't care if the high-information voter knows what they are doing; it's all part of the overall scorched earth plan.
They'll pay people to do and say anything, ANYTHING. Winning is all that counts. Destroying the opponent is all that matters. Every means justifies that end. Period.
The GOPe have already hired actresses and actors to appear in the attack ads and to make personal appearances, as actors, during Trump events. The hiring agency is Talent Direct Agency (TDA) - The actors and production teams are working out the script details right now.
More than likely the construct begins tomorrow with the CNN debate. Expect a full media assist from an ideological corporate media empire who also has skin in the game and corporate ownership who also see candidate Donald Trump as a risk.
A thrilled attendee for the bloodbath, NRO's Charles Cooke, puts it this way:
Tomorrow night, as they stand on either side of Trump, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz must find their resolve and all-but-machine-gun the man to the floor.
Without breaks for water or silence for applause, they must explain that Trump is an entitled mess whose business record is so questionable that he managed to bankrupt a casino; that he is an unashamed fraud who didn't even wait to be elected president before folding on Planned Parenthood and Obamacare, exactly like the "feckless" Congress he is running against; that he is feigning religiosity to appeal to people he believes are rubes; and, above all, that whatever he may be pretending now, he has spent a lifetime screwing the little guy.
They must repeat verbatim his previous words on amnesty; they must outline in detail how his policies will make life worse for everyone; and they must point out that a Trump nomination designed to "mix things up" will result, eventually, in more of the same.
In the meantime, conservatives who are not running for president must ensure that every spare dollar is spent attacking Trump. Melt down the fences if you have to; we need long-range bombers here.
If Donald Trump can flood the airwaves with his nonsense, his opponents can counter it incessantly. And while they are at it, they can tie him up in court, just as he's trying to do to Cruz. There are a good number of "just asking" questions ready to be put to them, among them "Trump's mother was Scottish, can he really be president?" and "Trump ran a host of scams designed to rip off the poor; surely one of them would like to sue him?"
Thus far, part of Trump's media strategy has been to say something outrageous and then to move on before it can be rebutted or fact-checked. Why are his rivals not doing the same thing to him? Why, moreover, are the men in charge of the big guns all-but flirting with the snipers on the other side? (read more)
Perhaps now you can better appreciate why Mitt Romney is joining the effort and throwing anything against the wall to see if it will stick:
On Wednesday's "Your World" on FOX News, former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney told Neil Cavuto that Donald Trump's tax returns may prove he hasn't been honest about his money.
Romney suggests the bombshell could include him lying about his wealth or that he has not made all those charity donations he claims to have made. (link)
You see, it doesn't actually matter if there's any truth to the claim, the goal is to create an absurd hurricane wind of inbound attacks driven with increasing ferocity by the corporate media who will demand the candidate to respond.
In Mississippi 2014 Chris McDaniel was not racist, nor was there anything remotely linking him to anything racist; the goal is to push the candidate away from their campaigning, the truth is irrelevant.
Once the GOPe force the candidate away from campaigning, then they begin selling the false story and using the actors/actresses, or preachers, to deliver an outcome.
By the time the next debate on Fox comes around, well, it'll be peak DEFCON-5 thermonuclear political button pushing because, quite simply, they have nothing to lose.
>>GOPe = DNC with “R” by their name plan to attack Trump.
Hmmmm, should we refer to them now as:
DOPe
Maybe so. They really are dopes.
ooops...you are right! I confused Megan Kelly or Kelly Megan’s or whatever her name is...voter summit that is on right now, I confused that with the Mar 3 debate...good catch!
You know, I just emailed the Trump campaign today, to tell them the American people DON’T CARE about specifics and details, like the Marxist Commie Media. We ONLY care about results, and only Mr. Trump will truly deliver!
That said, we really need to keep him and all things Trump in prayer, often! I view praying as something everyone can do to help. God tells us to pray without ceasing. God DOES hear our prayers.
That’s because they are Uniparty. Been fooling many for decades, but now, Mr. Trump is revealing their charade!
Donald Trump Jr. at the Elko Nevada Convention Center, February 22, 2016:
“The party establishment, even the Republican Party, will do everything to try to stop my father because they realize if he gets in there, the little game they are used to playing and everyone takes care of everyone else and everyone make money off of everyone else’s thing, and everyone’s doing incredibly well for doing nothing, that all ends.”
I know what you mean.
After I saw that look of total glee/euphoria on O’s face, after Justice Scalia’s “natural causes” demise, it hit me that we now live in a banana republic where opposition leaders meet with certain “ends”.
I don’t hate Donald Trump but the Trump Kool-Aid drinkers are so paranoid and unhinged that they think any objective thinkers are out to get them and their idol. Take a step back from the Kool-Aid jug and do a little objective observing and critical thinking if you are capable.
For one, think about the argument the prosecutors used in the OJ case about the dog that didn’t bark. Why are the Republican leaders (GOPe) attempting to mount a fight against Trump and not the Dem elites? Why has Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi not barked?
All the information about Donald Trump is out there (even from his own books) if you take the time to actually do some research unlike the Obama zombies who refused and resorted to name-calling and other childish behavior when confronted with objective concerns.
If you just want to chalk up criticism to idiots, haters and turncoats, you have that right. But just remember all those Democrats whom you had no problem criticizing. Name an issue. Trump has been for more things before he was against them than John Kerry ever was. Why? Why all of a sudden over the course of a year and on some issues, just a couple of weeks, a candidate’s past doesn’t matter because he’s a self-proclaimed “conservative” now?
I, for one, want to hear something more than a pie-in-the-sky promise to build a wall (which, btw, will also keep people from getting out when your 2nd Amendment rights are taken away) and having reeeally smart people (give me a few names of these people he thinks are really, reeeeally smart).
Until then, “Make America Great Again” is just “Hope and Change 2.0.”
Karl,
Where do you find these hilarious pics? They never fail to crack me up! Thanks!
As for me, I have NO idea how to post pictures, CCP ( please don't even go there, at least 31 different people have tried to teach me how to do it and I still can't. LOL ), nor do I have any notion as to what I might even want on my home page. Egor mine is blank and shall continue to be so. ;^)
>>If only the GOP fought Dems as hard as they fight Conservatives.
Why would they do that? As Bush said of Clinton: “We are brothers from another mother”.
Mr. Trump is exposing this truth. The little people ARE awakening!
Once again, we hear Cruz harrumphing about tactics by the Committee, while he served as their Vice Chairman.
Once again, we hear Cruz feign shock and amazement.
This is the smartest guy in the room, and he’s pleading the case that he was too green to know wth was going on, with the very vehicle for re-electing incumbents?
Good grief. He was sitting in the driver’s seat practically. He didn’t resign, did he? Heck, no. He was doing his make up work to McConnell, for all his showboating in the senate, for all the rubes back home.
It worked. The rubes were impressed and lined up behind him, for his post haste run for the Republican nomination for the President of the United States, a plan he rolled out the day he got elected to the US Senate, by the state of TEXAS.
You know what would be funny? If someone did a youtube video depicting the GOPe plotting their attacks....
“OK, you, over there. Here are your Nazi uniforms.
And you guys over here, here are your KKK uniforms.
Remember, we MUST take this guy down, by any means possible!”
>>By then we’ll be running Trump Jr
Wouldn’t that be terrific? After seeing what is being done to his dad, though, I’m not sure he would be so inclined.
Actually, what other buisnessman with a passion for us “vulgarians” would want to give of themselves so selflessly?
Mr. Trump is truly THE man for our time.
>> some Tweets from Dems promoting Charlotte Hubbell-Clinton-Mezvinsky vs. Prescott Walker Bush in 2052.
But, remember how Grandpa Bush recently said of Bill Clinton:
“We are brothers from another mother”.
So, that match-up would be ALL IN THE FAMILY! The UNIPARTY family!
Trump or Bust
Come Hell or High Water
(and they're coming)
Dad looks fine, in fact is winning. And Jr. is already campaigning for his Dad.
Watch the video of Trump Jr. recently. Impressive would best describe it.
Btw, the only thing it's done is move Trump much closer to the presidency.
May backfire BIG time and maybe Trump then goes 3rd party and even win the general election, leaving GOP in the dust. Very interesting and entertaining. Popcorn time !!!
Unlike you, I probably know more about Trump and his family than you ever shall. I am an objective, well reasoned, well educated on the topics supporter.I don't give my support blindly, to anyone, nor have I 1)ever seen any of his shows 2) fallen for anyone's "celebrity" 3) drink KOOL-AID. I doubt that you can claim the same.
I also knew far more about Obama, than you do now and understand more about him as well. To attempt to make Trump supporters appear like the Obama ZOMBIE RACE HUSTLERS show what an abject deficit you have in critical thinking.
Your terminal TDS has apparently made you not only blind, but also deaf. Trump has said, written, and publicly avowed more conservative positions, throughout his life time, than you are prepared to acknowledge. Because you aren't in, nor I wager, even know anyone who travels in his business and/or social strata, you are incapable of understanding many of the things he says and has done.
Obviously you much prefer a lying dirty trickster, who isn't even eligible to be president. So be it. LOL
