Trump is the only Outsider (Saturbray)
www.braylog.com ^ | 3/5/16 | bray

Posted on 03/05/2016 7:12:59 AM PST by bray

Romans 11:31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

We have never seen a Party declare and fight an all out war on any candidate like we are seeing now. The GOP has had nearly all of the onion skins removed to reveal itself as one of the most corrupt organizations in DC. What we are watching is the fear of a Party petrified they will lose their power if an outsider was to do the unthinkable and win their Presidency. This is Tea Party times ten.

It is obvious to the Party Donald Trump can not only win the nomination, but would dominate it. Their biggest fear is they would have to fight in the election and get ugly which is not what they are comfortable doing. Worse yet they would have to fight after they are elected. They are far more used to losing with dignity than having an ugly win. They are used to being the Washington Generals to the Globetrotters as the gravy train continues to roll over the taxpayers.

The entire election apparatus is one big money machine and they can see Trump is not going to use it. First the managers have been given a big no thanks and he is basically running it himself. These managers can expect to make upwards of twenty to thirty million or more in an election plus perks. When they make 15% booking ads, it adds up pretty fast.

Managing a campaign means memorizing elevator speeches which can be given in thirty seconds telling who you are to this group and another thirty seconds saying just the opposite to another group. He organizes which group you meet and which lie you tell.

The media is expecting to make between $500-750 million on commercials this presidential season. This explains why Fox News and conservative radio does not want to see Trump win the nomination. There are hundreds of millions of radio ads that by all appearances Donald Trump would not be running. Trump would rather dominate the news and call in on the national TV programs and talk live than have a thirty second ad people will forget five seconds after they hear it. This would be a huge dent to Rush/Levin/Beck/Fox’s cash flow this year. Those obscene profit centers would become less obscene if Trump ignores running ads.

I am the only one to predict the final two would be Cruz and Trump although I overestimated Cruz at the beginning of the election. Unfortunately even though he is hated by the Sinate, he is actually an insider and now cozies up with the establishment in their need to find someone to beat Trump. His close ties to Goldman Sachs is especially troubling. He forces people who want the establishment defeated to understand when push comes to shove he will crumble to their will and everything will continue uninterrupted.

Can we end these debates? If there is a worse way to choose a leader it has yet to be invented. The winner of any debate is the biggest policy wonk on the stage. The person who can discuss and describe how things work in the District of Corruption looks like the gifted one, but we are not electing a wonk. We are electing the leader of America who has wonks do what he wants to get his visions done. The President is the CEO of the USA which is a visionary rather than someone who accounts for every dotted “i” and crossed “t”. His job is to find the best people available to in his case, dismantle those rat holes.

There is no question who the born leader is on that stage and it was not the ones worried about hiring a few foreign maids or lawsuits by slip and fall lawyers. Imagine what Rubi8 or Cruzie Universities would look like by a couple of guys who have no idea how a business makes a profit. They believe you only have to open a door or put up a sign and the money starts rolling in. Their combined business experience and depth of knowledge rivals Bernie Sanders’. They both brag how their parents came over from Cuba to work in America but attack Trump for hiring those same people to make his hotel run, hello!

Their anti-business attitude rivals anything you hear from Occupy Wall Street as they vilify Trump for running his businesses like every other businessman runs theirs. Not every company succeeds which is what makes his empire truly amazing. He has some of the finest hotels and golf resorts in the country with the hallmark of being the most luxurious with the finest service. You do not get that by hiring every drug addict that walks off the street. It is easy to point at Trump’s sins while ignoring the fact your wife makes over half a million per year from one of the biggest lobbyists in Moscow on the Potomac.

Trump is going to take voting blocks away from all of the Dem groups. He will do especially well with the lunch bucket union workers who have seen their jobs shipped overseas. He could easily get union endorsements in the Rust Belt states who like what they hear on trade and immigration. He has brought an additional 25% Repub voting even if he is not doing it the right way. He is bringing new voters, youth voters, blacks, Mooselimbs and Hispanics which is driving the GOP insane. He has rewritten the rules of elections and will beat Hillary like a rented donkey, but that is not enough he is not holy.

Conservatism has become a cult. There is a self appointed Sanhedrin filled with Pharisees who believe only they are pure enough to speak for the conservatives in this country. You must say so many Hail Reagans per day and of course you are the most pure with abortion, cutting taxes, pro second amendment and worship at the feet of Rush. Apparently there is a new tenant that you must be Conservative since birth or you are actually a liberal, there are no true conversions which asks what these preachers are trying to do? Only they can declare absolution.

Trump has figured out a way to take the lumps out of the abortion argument. Rather than making everyone take a hard line stance and get killed at the ballot box on the War on Women he gives them a choice. The War on Women means closing abortion clinics by using their famous word phrase techniques so he is using it against them. He is saying Planned Abortionhood is fine as long as they stop having abortions. That is like saying you can play baseball only you cannot have baseballs or bats. Of course they will never agree to that and gives him an acceptable reason to defund and avoid the war and gives PP a choice. Pretty brilliant, except not pure enough for the Sanhedrin.

There is only one outsider left. Unfortunately, Cruz has made a bad decision and has thrown his hat in with the establishment in his craven need to win the presidency. He has allowed himself to become the donors’ candidate and with his wife’s relationship with the biggest donor on Wall Street there is no question he will be twisted to do what they say on issues like immigration and building the wall. If the Sanhedrin does not think those millions are without cables then there is a bridge across the Potomac they would like to sell them. You always launder your money thorough your spouse in DC.

Trump has millions of people horrified they are going to have their money machines taken away. These machines have taken over a hundred years to build and he wants to make it all come crashing down. There are cottage industries like books, magazines, TV and radio programs which make millions preaching to the opposition and the followers. There are lobbyists and corruption feeding the Marxist model losing sleep at night wondering if they will be able to afford their mistresses and Dachas in the country. They may hate what Cruz has said, but they are terrified of what Trump would do. What if Trump is really telling the truth and would do rather than tawk, tawk, tawk?

Thank you so much for writing this!

Trump has given the voters a voice. The RNC would never have given us such a voice. The RNC wants voters to shut up and pull the lever for RNC’s loser choice.

Does Hillary have them all by the short hairs? I’m beginning to think so.

All of Brays rants start with that, whether they are about Trump or not.

It’s easy to just skip that part if it offends you.

But I doubt you would have liked the rest of it anyway, since it isn’t about Pastor Ted

I think you have a reasonable view on where Cruz stands. The only way to dissolve the DC cabal is to have an outsider with cahone’s get in there and start dismantling it a piece at a time.

Trump could very well be that guy.

So true and all of these Conservative purists are afraid to get their lily white gloves dirty.

Trump always reminds me of Dangerfield in the Country Club of Caddie Shack. “Give me a couple dozen of those naked lady tees for my friend Wang!”

Somebody told me I should vote Cruz because he has the best brains of the bunch.

If terrorists were throwing brains instead of bombs, maybe I would.

WHO IS THE REAL TED CRUZ?

By Roger Stone

Vladimir Lenin said, “There are no morals in politics; there is only expedience. A scoundrel may be of use to us just because he is a scoundrel.”

I can’t think of a better description of Ted Cruz’s relationship with the DC-Wall Street Establishment – Cruz being the scoundrel of course. Cruz’s claim of not being a tool of the political elite is like Bill Clinton telling the world, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman.”

Webster’s definition of a scoundrel is a dishonest or unscrupulous person, and Cruz has become quite adroit at saying one thing while his history shows him doing the other. Rather than the outsider he claims to be, Ted Cruz is the ultimate insider, former top Bush 41 policy aide and globalist, Ivy Leaguer, and establishment insider.

Not many conservatives coming out of Princeton and Harvard. “I’m just sayin,’” Ted, as said in the debate.

There is no better example of this than Calgary Ted’s actions surrounding the big Wall Street banks and their secret funding of his political ascension. Cruz has been gorging at the table of the ultimate insider of all insiders – Goldman Sachs and Citibank.

You may recall in a recent Fox Business Network debate that Cruz, in Mr. Haney from Green Acres voice, declared to one of the moderators, “The opening question [moderator Jerry Seib] asked — would you bailout the big banks again — nobody gave you an answer to that. I will give you an answer — absolutely not.”

What else would you expect a scoundrel to say who had secretly secured big sweetheart loans from Goldman and Citibank — by leveraging his retirement accounts –– to fund his 2012 U.S. Senate campaign. Loans which the Calgary Ted conveniently forgot to disclose to the Federal Election Commission. These are the very retirement accounts that he said he and his wife said he cashed in to fund his senate race. In other words, Ted lied.

At the same time Ted’s bulging 2016 campaign accounts and supporting Super-PACs are stuffed with big oil and gas money. He knows how to play the game.

And perhaps the ultimate hypocrisy of the native born Canadian is that his spouse, Heidi, by all accounts a lovely wife and mother, has been employed by Goldman Sachs since 2005. She is on leave as managing director and regional head of private wealth management. Heidi is a proud member of the lefty Council on Foreign Relations, advocates of one world government and the New World Order.

Heidi is not a bit player in the Cruz campaign with those credentials but rather an integral part of the campaign’s fundraising efforts. As reported by CNN last year, “She works the phones the way she worked them when she was at Goldman,” said Chad Sweet, the Cruz campaign’s chairman, who recruited Heidi to work at the giant investment bank.”

Yet we are to believe that the big Wall Street banks have no leverage over Ted Cruz? Why didn’t Heidi Cruz resign from Goldman Sachs instead of taking a leave of absence? That’s like saying Bill Ayers and Saul Alinsky have had no influence on Barack Obama.

The other inside connection that hits one like a baseball bat is the Bush connection. Ted was George W.’s brain when he ran for President. A top policy adviser. Ted maneuvered for Solicitor General in Bush World but settled for a plum at the Federal Trade Commission. Ted’s a Bushman with deep ties to the political and financial establishment.

Ted and Heidi brag about being the first “Bush marriage” – they met as Bush staffers which ultimately led to marriage. Cruz was an adviser on legal affairs while Heidi was an adviser on economic policy and eventually director for the Western Hemisphere on the National Security Council under Condoleezza Rice. Condi helped give us the phony war in Iraq.

Also conveniently missing from Heidi’s Wikipedia bio is her service as Deputy U.S. Trade Representative to USTR head Robert Zoellick. At USTR Heidi worked on U.S.-China trade policy- the one Donald Trump talks about so much.

And Chad Sweet, Ted Cruz’s campaign chairman, is a former CIA officer. Michael Chertoff, George W. Bush’s former Secretary of Homeland Security, hired Sweet from Goldman Sachs to restructure and optimize the flow of information between the CIA, FBI and other members of the national security community and DHS. Chertoff and Sweet co-founded the Chertoff Group upon leaving the administration.

A known tactic of the intelligence community is the use of strategic communications as a “soft power” weapon against it adversaries — the creation of false narratives by the effective use of all media — social, digital, newspaper, print, etc. Combined with denial and deception, it can be a potent force. Glenn Beck and Mark Levin are abetting this.

Despite his ability to lie with a straight face (sadly Nixonian) on his support for amnesty and TPP, he got nailed by Senator Marco Rubio on the debate. Acting like a prick in the U.S. Senate was the core of Ted’s disciplined effort to bury his old school ties and reinvent himself as a modern-day Jesse Helms and supposed Conservative outsider. It’s a ruse.

As we get closer to the Iowa Caucus and New Hampshire Primary, Cruz and his establishment puppet masters are engaged in an aggressive strategy against Trump. The false narrative of course being that Cruz is the outsider while Trump is the insider. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

In its most simplistic terms – the power elite have no leverage over Trump – nothing. Cruz, on the other hand, is the establishments quisling, spawned by the Bushes and controlled by Wall Street, who became a strident “outsider” only four years ago.

The U.S. Constitution does not defined “native born” citizen, nor have the courts. That Ted was eligible to run for office as a citizen only 15 months ago is weird. Trump’s right the Democrats would have a field day with Calgary Ted, the Manchurian, Canadian Candidate.

Don’t get me wrong. Ted Cruz is a smart, canny, talented guy who has run a great “long race” campaign. He aspires to be Reagan but trust me he’s Nixon. Right down the incredible discipline and smarts playing the political game. Ted Cruz is not who he appears to be. As the bible says, “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” In this case we must beware a Canadian bearing gifts.

Actually, you had to be conservative at the time of your conception with totally conservative parents.

Afterwards, while in our mothers’s wombs, our mothers read Wm Buckley and NR readings to us.

That’s a great example of yellow journalism. But, you’re going to believe what you’re going to believe. Even scurrilous, fact-less stuff like that.

I do wonder if your belief system is more based on supporting the notoriously thin-skinned and unfit Trump, or if you just dislike conservatives in general. One of those questions that can never be answered.

Well stated arguments. I have been 1.Cruz 2.Trump for quite a while, but am now leaning to 1.Trump 2.Cruz for my preference. The all-out GOPe assault on Trump has only increased my admiration for him. He has withstood these assaults — mostly frivolous — with aplomb and tenacity. The points raised against Trump seem to me to be silly: nothing substantive, merely talking-points. My wife feels the same I do. So do many of our friends.

It is rare we get to vote for someone who is not an integral part of the Washington establishment network.

Turns out it takes more than three conservatives in the senate to accomplish much. Your guy will probably win and will do it easily without my support. Maybe our anti-constitutionalist president will be better than their anti-constitutionalist president. I’m a strict-constructionist through and through. Lost cause? Maybe. But that’s the hill I’m willing to die on.

I laughed out loud when I heard Cruz bring this up at the debate. But then I wondered how he could have said it with a straight face.

With all due respect, the problem is far less debates and much more it is “debates” which are actually joint news conferences.

The “debates” position the shows’ moderators as the authorities and the candidates as game-show contestants. Journalists are professional criticizers, which is to say cynics - and that is the defining characteristic of the socialist. Naturally “debates” which are actually game shows conducted by opponents of conservative candidates are farces.

True debates, which actually would inform the audience on substantive matters, would IMHO favor the most conservative mandate over any of the others. But true debates are, for that reason among others, anathema to journalists. And IMHO actual debates would be not be desired by Donald Trump precisely because he does well in reality TV game shows.

Cruz is no outsider. Read his and his wife’s resumes. Perhaps nobody in the Senate likes him because he is an unlikeable fellow? I do not claim to know that but it is a possibility.

Let’s all punish Cruz for leading the conservative charge in the Senate and get behind an untested loudmouth who has financed our enemies for years.
........................................................
WHAT “Conservative Charge?” Seems all they’ve done is sign, seal, and deliver Obama’s wish list!
An “untested loudmouth” who already knows most of the rulers of the world? That untested loudmouth is a PROVEN winner. He is also above all an Unequivocal AMERICAN. Something sadly lacking in Washington today.
You snarks always talk about the financing of our enemies, but conveniently omit to say he has financed our “supposed friends” to an even greater amount. Of course those supposed friends turned out to be turncoats like Romney, McCain, and the rest of the bag of worms who are busy eating away our freedoms.
I’ll take my chances on a loudmouth over a sniveling wimp.

Being will to die on a hill is not being pragmatic. It has been said that it is better to retreat so that you can fight another day when the situation more to your advantage.

But, bloviating at a podium in front of an empty Senate chamber really is not accomplishing anything.

I am not retired, but when I worked I was evaluated and rewarded on accomplishment, and not on empty words.

Accomplishments can be built upon and thereby improved. Being strictly rigid doesn't accomplish much.

Ever notice how in a strong wind the rigid, strong tree breaks or is blown over, while the flexible blade of grass may be bent and blown every which way is still standing after the storm.
