Nostradamus Department: Moveon.org Has Sealed Trump's Nomination

We have witnessed Trump's rise in the polls at each expression of disapproval. Like a rubber ball thrown off a building, the harder he hits, the higher he bounces.

Till this evening it was just verbiage. Tonight, Trump supporters were physically attacked in Chicago and the ensuing riot resulted in their candidate cancelling the rally. Trump's numbers will soon go through the roof.

You heard it here first. Trump will receive a major bump in the polls, probably enough for him to seal his nomination next Tuesday.

Oh, and if there is a rumble between Sanders supporters and Trump supporters, bet on the latter.

Is Donald Trump A New Kind Of RINO?

By definition Donald Trump is Republican In Name Only. When that term is tossed around talk radio or the blogosphere, it is never a compliment. The connotation is that a RINO lacks principle or integrity. Perhaps even worse, they are seen as lacking courage and resolve. The Doles and McCains and Romneys have done a wonderful job in cementing the RINO doormat reputation (Can you mix metaphor better than that?)

Whatever else one might say about Donald Trump's principles or his honesty or his character, it is hard to take issue with his courage or resolve. It is not insulting to say that he is a comic book figure. His every action is more suited to a six panel a page setting than anything we are accustomed to.

Trump's confidence is infectious. So too, is his passion. Like Ronald Reagan, Trump makes the listener feel good about himself and his country. Can you imagine the Donald traveling to Egypt to apologize for his country's very existence? A genuine love for the homeland is always advanced, no matter what is being said.

Passion and confidence are two qualities missing in other RINO's. Maybe if there were more RINO's like Trump, RINO would not be considered a derogatory term.

Poll Suggests Romney Denouncement Helped Donald Trump

Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney delivered an impassioned speech last week blasting Donald Trump as a “fraud” who would hand the White House to Hillary Clinton.


But a new poll finds that the 2012 GOP nominee’s attacks might have helped Trump more than hurt him, at least with Republican voters tasked with choosing this year's nominee.

The Morning Consult survey found 31% of registered GOP voters are more likely to vote for Trump given Romney’s speech, while 20% are less likely. Another 43% said it didn’t have an impact either way.

I could have done without the Willy Wonka references but maybe I am not the target demo. The first 9:45 is optional.

Romney Postscript

Mitt Romney's comments will hurt Donald Trump's campaign...for about fifteen minutes. If the pollsters call before this gets posted we might see a decline in the "ratings." But the T-Man is taking the stage in Portland, Maine in just over an hour and those members of a packed house who are asking 'Mittt Who?' will probably be told EXACTLY who Mitt happens to be.

Romney's speech at the Hinkley Institute (irony anyone?)  has a limited shelf life. We have a Trump rally followed by yet one more GOP debate tonight. Tomorrow, Mitt Romney will be seen in our rear view mirrors. Was that roadkill or a bag of garbage?  Who cares?

What Rhymes With Mitt?

I view Mitt Romney as a sympathetic figure. An incredibly decent man who was turned into a caricature by a corrupt news media who sacrificed their last shreds of integrity to whore out for the Democratic Party. With that stated, Romney lost an election he should have easily won and the only thing this guy can tell us now is how to lose.

Barack Obama was the worst and the weakest incumbent in US History. The 2010 midterms were a referendum on Obama and it was earth-shattering. The GOP started the 2012 election with a substantial lead and they blew it. We can blame the consultant class and all the usual punching bags but ultimately the blame goes to Mitt Romney.

Is Mitt Romney a Democrat in drag? Is he a high-placed Quisling? Why would we even suggest such character assassination? Maybe because Governor Romney was all too willing to work with a Democratic legislature at every turn. Maybe because he was brutal while opposing his GOP rivals but a doormat when he facing off against the Organizer-In-Chief. Some of us even entertain the idea that Romney took a dive.

So Mitt, are you going to tell us how to lose? We already have Jeb's wisdom at our disposal (and dispose we should.) If we want lo tap into the wisdom of the masters of failure we still have Bob Dole and John McCain to advise us. Some of us are sick of losing to losers. The GOP nominee will face either a woman who might need to amend her bail agreement to attend her party's convention or a senile sloganmeister who is still upset at how gruffly we treated the Rosenbergs. Mitt can yet snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Yes, There Is Voter Fraud In New Hampshire

I haven't jumped on the Trump bandwagon just yet but I bet the Donald would not tolerate voter fraud. He won over a lot of hearts and minds when he discussed topics GOP candidates were too cowardly to address, namely immigration and Islamic terrorism. Voter fraud is yet one more elephant in a room that seems pretty damned crowded with pachyderms.

 From this blog's very inception in 2009, there was a concern about voter fraud. ACORN has come and gone but institutionalized cheating remains. It was a concern in 2010, a much larger concern in 2012 and still on the radar in 2014. In 2016, no Republican is touching this subject.

 For seven years I have waited for someone to step forward to address an issue that could bring our republic to its knees (if it hasn't already.) Had the GOP addressed institutionalized cheating in 2009, 2010, 2011, or even 2012, they might have captured the White House. We get the occasional Rand Paul or Ted Cruz to bring attention to ignored topics but even the most outspoken members of Congress will not help us out here.

Voter fraud is real and it is rampant. It is possibly the greatest threat our republic has ever faced. It has been tolerated for much too long. May God bless James O'Keefe.

DON'T CALL THEM CHEATERS, CALL THEM CRIMINALS!
