Ted Cruz’s Imaginary Evangelical Army
Post Date: 2015-12-04 18:48:44 by Willie Green

At the Republican Jewish Coalition forum yesterday, U.S. senator Ted Cruz made a rather astounding assertion that has now become part of his stock speech: There are 54 million Evangelical voters who stayed home in 2012, and that's more than enough to provide a margin of victory for someone very much like Cruz.At The Wall Street Journal today, Gerald Seib expresses his deep skepticism about the math involved in Cruz's claim. Of the purported 90 million Americans who are identified loosely as Evangelicals (and the definition itself is not an easy one), many are African-Americans not inclined to vote for Ted Cruz or any Republican; 28 percent are self-identified Democrats (according to ...
Everyone Who Has Ever Worked With Ted Cruz Despises Him according to some dumb broad [Full Thread]

As the Republican clown car of presidential candidates continues to merrily roll along, there has been an interesting development over the past couple weeks. Ted Cruz is suddenly rising in the polls, inching above Ben Carson and closer to puzzlingly perpetual leader Donald Trump. It’s been so noticeable that some are even warning that the country should prepare for President Cruz.
But before we start preparing for a Cruz presidency and a subsequent move to Cruz’s home country of Canada, let’s take a step back and look at Cruz’s record — and the people who know him best. An excellent piece in yesterday’s New York Times did exactly that.
Frank Bruni’s editorial starts by setting up a ...
Senate Vote Guts Obamacare’s Key Features, Defunds Planned Parenthood

The U.S. Senate approved a bill Thursday that would strip Obamacare of key tax-raising features and would also eliminate taxpayer-funding of abortion businesses, including Planned Parenthood. “For years, the American people have been calling on Washington to build a bridge away from Obamacare,” said Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY). “For years, Democrats prevented the Senate from passing legislation to do so.” The 52 to 47 vote also would strip taxpayer funding from Planned Parenthood for one year. This measures has been pushed by a renewed call to defund the abortion business since the release of videos exposing the organization’s apparent ...
The Dancing Israelis (Trump was right about 9/11 but they weren't Muslims)

Senator Rand Paul, supported by a number of other congressmen, has demanded that the 28 pages of the 9/11 Commission Report that explored the Saudi Arabian role in the terrorist attack be made public. The redacted section of the report, which apparently concluded that the Saudi government itself played no direct role in 9/11, nevertheless contained considerable evidence suggesting that wealthy Saudis and even members of the Royal Family had been supporting and funding al-Qaeda. Some who have actually read the 28 pages were reported to be shocked by what was revealed. Recent comments by presidential aspirant Donald Trump indicating that he was aware of people celebrating the terrorist attack ...

Ailes to Trump: 'What the hell is wrong with you?'

After Donald Trump attacked Fox News host Megyn Kelly, the network's CEO Roger Ailes asked him: “What the hell is wrong with you?” “I've always had the same relationship with Donald for 30 years. It's a friendly relationship, surprisingly enough,” Ailes said in an interview with Adweek, which selected him as its “Media Visionary of the Year." “I did call him after the first go-round and I said, ‘What the hell is wrong with you? The United States is at war with every goddamn country in the Middle East and you're at war with Megyn Kelly and you think that looks good? It doesn't look good.’” Trump and Kelly’s spat began ...
Shock: GOP establishment considering DRASTIC move if Trump’s the nominee

The so-called GOP establishment’s distaste for frontrunner Donald Trump is well-documented. And with the first caucus just over two months out — and Trump continuing to dominate most polls, while establishment favorites like Jeb Bush flounder — the establishment’s panic seems to be reaching a fever pitch. While there’ve been rumors that the establishment might try to get someone like Mitt Romney into the race, there is now word of a far more drastic move some establishment leaders may make. As The Hill reports, some big money Republican donors may support Hillary Clinton if Trump ends up being the GOP nominee. Via WND and The Hill: Although Donald Trump ...

“You got to give the people what they want” O’Jays Even by his standards, it was an astounding performance.Over the course of just two days last weekend, Donald Trump spewed bigotry, venom and absurdity like a sewer pipe, spewed it with such utter disregard for decency and factuality that it was difficult to know what to criticize first. Shall we condemn him for retweeting a racist graphic on Sunday filled with wildly inaccurate statistics from a non-existent source (“Whites killed by blacks — 81 percent”)?Or shall we hammer him for tacitly encouraging violence when an African-American protester was beaten up at a Trump rally in Birmingham on Saturday? ...

Republican strategist Karl Rove helped set up a meeting between top fundraisers for Ben Carson and casino mogul Steve Wynn. Rove confirmed to Bloomberg Politics that he acted as the go-between for the Carson camp and Wynn, a sometimes business competitor of Donald Trump, the rival Carson has been batting all fall for the Republican nomination. "I introduced them but I don't know anything further about that," said Rove, who added that he did not attend the meeting. The mastermind of George W. Bush's presidential victories in 2000 and 2004, Rove has not signed on with any of the presidential candidates this year, though he says he has dispensed advice to a number who ...
Republican Trump drops 12 percentage points in poll: Reuters/Ipsos

U.S. presidential hopeful Donald Trump's support among Republicans has dropped 12 points in less than a week, marking the real estate mogul's biggest decline since he vaulted to the top of the field in July, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll. Trump was the favorite of 31 percent of Republicans in a rolling poll in the five days ended on Nov. 27. That was down from a peak of 43 percent registered on Nov. 22. The dip follows criticism of Trump for comments he made in the aftermath of the Nov. 13 Paris attacks that killed 130 people and wounded hundreds more. Following the attacks, Trump told an NBC News reporter that he would support requiring all Muslims within the United States ...

Dilbert creator Scott Adams said Friday afternoon that if Donald Trump survives the ongoing controversy about whether he made fun of New York Times reporter’s disability, he will be a lock to win the presidency. “If he survives this one, he’s invulnerable,” Adams said. Adams took to Periscope on Friday afternoon to promote his new book, How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big: Kind of the Story of My Life, and answered questions from fans. Recently, Adams has written about his conviction that Donald Trump will win the presidency, based on his use of sophisticated techniques of public persuasion. Adams told Reason magazine that Trump uses perceived insults to ...

Republican Presidential hopeful Donald Trump has openly mocked a disabled reporter during a speech in South Carolina. Trump was speaking about Serge Kovaleski, a reporter at the New York Times who has arthrogryposis, a condition that affects the movement of the joints. Trump has been claiming that thousands of Muslims in New Jersey celebrated the terrorist attacks on the World Tade Centre in 2001 and he cited a report written by Kovaleski at that time when he was working for the Washington Post. Kovaleski's report said that police had detained a number of people who were seen allegedly celebrating the attacks and he went on CNN this week to say that nobody spoke of thousands, or ...

Just as former Speaker of the House Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) influenced who would replace him as House Speaker, sources in Butler County, Ohio – part of Boehner’s district – are telling Breitbart News that he’s trying to do the same with his congressional seat – even sending his staff to work for County Auditor Roger Reynold’s campaign for Ohio’s 8th Congressional District. Butler County Republican Central Committee members learned through a letter that they would be meeting on Tuesday “to consider individuals to be appointed to the Executive Committee.” The Executive Committee members vote on December 1st and 8th to endorse various candidates ...

Yesterday (Friday) former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the GOP's vice presidential nominee in 2008, horrified conservative talk radio host Hugh Hewitt by saying marijuana legalization is "no big deal." Hewitt asked Palin about the legalization measure that voters in her state approved last November, saying, "What happened in Alaska? What are you people thinking there?" She replied: We've got that libertarian streak in us, and I grew up in Alaska when pot was legal anyway. It was absolutely no big deal. I mean, you didn't smoke it because your parents would strangle you. And if you were a jock and you were, you know, a Christian going to youth group, you just ...

Donald Trump capped a week that found him flirting with fascism by sharing a blatantly false, racist graphic that apparently originated with a Hitler-admiring neo-Nazi.
The Republican presidential frontrunner tweeted an image Sunday afternoon that claimed 81 percent of white homicide victims are killed by blacks and 97 percent of black homicide victims were killed by other blacks.

Ben Carson said in an interview broadcast late Sunday that Donald Trump endlessly attacks his character because Carson threatens Trump's chances of winning the GOP’s 2016 presidential nomination.“He is obviously very worried about me and constantly tries to denigrate me,” Carson told host Steve Scully during a C-SPAN interview from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. “Some people will try to win at all costs,” Carson continued. "That’s what they try to do.“I’m not one of those people,” the retired neurosurgeon added. "Trying to tear someone else down is not part of the character for me.

www.conservativereview.com COMMENTARY If Donald Trump wins the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, recent history suggests he may need to realign the electorate in order to win the general election. In part one we took a look at data that showed despite skepticism from the political class, Trump could absolutely win the nomination. Given his particular voter base, however, and the way he would likely manage a general election, the traditional coalition it takes for a Republican to win the White House may have to be reconfigured with Trump as standard-bearer. The last major realignment we had in American politics was during the election of 1980, which saw the advent of the Moral ...
Clinton Goes after Laugh Factory Comedians for Making Fun of Her

In what appears to be a first for a serious presidential contender, Hillary Clinton’s campaign is going after five comedians who made fun of the former Secretary of State in standup skits at a popular Hollywood comedy club. A video of the short performance, which is less than three minutes, is posted on the website of the renowned club, Laugh Factory, and the Clinton campaign has tried to censor it. Besides demanding that the video be taken down, the Clinton campaign has demanded the personal contact information of the performers that appear in the recording. This is no laughing matter for club owner Jamie Masada, a comedy guru who opened Laugh Factory more than three decades ago and ...
Today’s Useful Idiot: John Kasich

Too bad: John Kasich, the Republican presidential aspirant who seemed comparatively sane, turns out to be as loony as any of his companions on the GOP debate stage – perhaps even loonier. On Tuesday, the Ohio Governor boldly proposed a new federal agency to “promote Judeo-Christian values” overseas. Evidently Kasich believes that this religiously-based propaganda initiative – which he would direct toward the Mideast, Russia, and China – should promote Western values of human rights, democracy, freedom of speech, freedom of religion [!} and freedom of association” as a counter-terrorist measure. Of course, if such an “Agency to Promote Judeo-Christian ...

After a terrorist attack, it's natural to ask: What can politicians do to keep us safe?One thing they could do is actually focus on keeping us safe rather than devoting so much time, energy and hot air to the many things government does instead of protecting lives and property. My state's politicians are particularly bad. New York's legislators regularly go to jail for taking bribes to pass, or not pass, special regulations. One recent governor, Eliot Spitzer, perhaps because his rich father gave him money, didn't take bribes (to my knowledge). Instead, he had sex with prostitutes, meanwhile publicly declaring that sex work was "modern-day slavery." He then signed ...
Ben Carson is Hopelessly Clueless on Foreign Policy

Ben Carson’s remarks on foreign policy have repeatedly raised questions about his grasp of the subject, but never more seriously than in the past week, when he wrongly asserted that China had intervened militarily in Syria and then failed, on national television, to name the countries he would call on to form a coalition to fight the Islamic State. Faced with increasing scrutiny about whether Mr. Carson — who leads in some Republican presidential polls — was capable of leading American foreign policy, two of his top advisers said in interviews with The New York Times that he had struggled to master the intricacies of the Middle East and national security and that intense ...

I am posting this for those of you that may be wondering what Obama will be doing after he leaves office. Lest you think that you will have heard the last of him let me be the first to inform you otherwise. He is not through implementing his objective of fundamentally transforming America via de facto restitution through the redistribution of wealth from the priviledged whites to his people. Obama will position himself as the next MLK, the next great, if not greatest, civil rights leader the world has ever seen. He will fight to right the wrongs of the white. Whitey, kiss you granchildrens' future goodbye, they will be second class citizens, if even that. He has already promulgated ...
How to twist a quote into a lie

Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz was asked yesterday about his counter-terrorism strategy. It’s “simple,” the Texas Republican replied. “We win. They lose.” The obvious problem is that Cruz wasn’t describing a strategy. His little phrasing may make a fine bumper-sticker, and it may even describe an end result, but at least for adults, there’s a difference between saying you intend to win a conflict and having a strategy to achieve your goal. In other words, sloganeering is not a substitute for a responsible national-security policymaking. It’s a point President Obama emphasized at yesterday’s press conference at the G-20 Summit ...

“Conservatism is the antidote to tyranny. It’s the only one. It’s based on thousands of years of human experience. There is nothing narrow about the conservative philosophy. It’s a liberating philosophy. It is a magnificent philosophy. It is a philosophy for the ages, for all times.” ~ Mark Levin “I realized that conservatism was the philosophy that best suited me, with its emphasis on individual liberty, personal responsibility, and merit.” ~ Mark Levin “The Conservative does not despise government. He despises tyranny. This is precisely why the Conservative reveres the Constitution and insists on adherence to it.” ~ Mark Levin “I follow ...
