Getty CNN announced on Tuesday that it has changed the criteria for its upcoming debate, making space for Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina on the primetime stage. Fiorina had argued for weeks that CNN's debate criteria unfairly weighted early field leaders over contenders like her who have polled better since the Fox News debate on Aug. 6. According to CNN, any candidate who ranks in the top 10 between Aug. 6 and Sept. 10 will be included in the primetime debate on Sept. 16. Also allowed in the main show will be candidates who scored in the top 10 averages of all approved national polls between July 16 and Sept. 10, as the original criteria released in May stated. ...

“There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.” ― John Adams, Letter to Jonathan Jackson, October 1780 For the majority Americans, the United States political system is seen as a football game. Any time their party is in power, it’s as if they are ‘winning’ and the other party or team is ‘losing.’ But what most Americans fail to see is that both ‘teams’ have the same owner. That owner cares not about which ...
Should Libertarians Vote Republican?

Constitutional conservatives, Reagan Republicans, and other conservative Republicans have no use for libertarians—except when it comes time for another election. Then they want the votes of libertarians. Although they shy away from the term “libertarian” in non-election years, they will describe themselves as libertarian-leaning when they want to sucker libertarians to vote for them on election day. There are two things that these libertarian-leaning Republicans can’t stand. The first is not voting and the second is voting for a third party. Many libertarians simply don’t vote. They know that the system is rigged. They know that you have a greater chance of being ...
One Question the Media Refuses to Ask Donald Trump

Here at The Anti Media, we have been a bit conflicted with our coverage of the 2016 presidential election. We tend to keep our discussion of presidential candidates to a minimum to avoid aching migraines. When it comes to Donald Trump (someone likely to give a fair amount of the population a migraine) we have tried to point out his flaws, his potential, and to highlight the stories the media ignores while it focuses on Trump’s traveling circus. However, for all the laughs to be had about Trump, one thing is certain: he has the media’s attention. Love him or hate him, he has somehow become the highest polling candidate in the Republican party. Supporters of Trump like to point out ...

EDISON — He stepped out of a black SUV, wearing a blue blazer and a white "Make America Great Again" hat just as a golfer who made two holes-in-one in the same round was giving an interview. Who knew two aces would be the second wildest thing that happened at The Barclays on Sunday? Donald Trump was stopped immediately at the front entrance to Plainfield Country Club for his first of more than a hundred (no exaggeration) selfies and then headed inside. He took another quick selfie with Eric LeGrand — "Eric! Great to see you!" he said to the stunned former Rutgers football player — and then set off to watch the golf tournament. I have seen some unusual ...

On Saturday, GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump said illegal immigrants are treated better than Wounded Warriors and veterans in America. Speaking in Nashville at a National Federation of Republican Assemblies event, Trump said that “illegal immigrants, in many cases–not in all cases, but in many cases–are treated better than our veterans, who are the greatest people we have.” Trump spoke about some of the horrors veterans have had to face in accessing basic medical care and services and vowed that veterans would be treated like first-class citizens under a Trump administration. After mentioning that illegal immigrants and DREAMers were protesting outside of the ...

These women have defended Donald Trump from numerous attacks. These sisters on the stump for Trump have been seen by millions in several appearances on CNN. Their last interview was with Sarah Palin. For his part, Donald Trump is grateful for these ladies’ support. The bombastic billionaire even invited Diamond and Silk to Alabama where he held a rally that drew more than 29,000 people.

Three top Jeb Bush fundraisers abruptly parted ways with his presidential campaign on Friday, amid internal personality conflicts and questions about the strength of his candidacy, POLITICO has learned. There are different versions of what transpired. The Florida-based fundraising consultants — Kris Money, Trey McCarley, and Debbie Alexander — have said that they voluntarily quit the campaign and were still working with Bush's super PAC, Right to Rise Super PAC. Others said the three, who worked under the same contract, were let go because they were no longer needed for the current phase of the campaign. None of the three immediately responded to requests for comment. Bush ...

As Vice President Joe Biden considers a potential run, Hillary Clinton's campaign is seeking to project dominance at the Democratic National Commitee meeting in Minneapolis. As Hillary Clinton's campaign seeks to project dominance in a field that could soon include Vice President Joe Biden, her top advisers are touting a decisive edge on a little-discussed metric: superdelegate commitments. At the Democratic National Committee meeting in Minneapolis, where she will speak Friday, senior Clinton campaign officials are claiming that she has already secured one-fifth of the pledges needed to win the Democratic presidential nomination.

Republican legislators have gotten their messaging instructions from their top leaders: Tout unpopular free-trade measures during the August recess, ignore popular curbs on the migration that saps Americans’ wages. Breitbart News has exclusively obtained an internal August recess messaging instruction set for Republican legislators produced by Sen. John Thune (R-SD), who orchestrates the GOP Senators’ PR pitch. This 20-page messaging instruction manual seems to confirm prior reports by Breitbart News that Republican Congressional leadership has no plans to enact popular immigration reforms to curb large-scale migration. Each August, Senators and Congressmen return home to listen ...

The GOP’s Serious Political Problem
Post Date: 2015-08-27 15:36:01 by cranky

A standard critique of many losing generals throughout history is that they were inordinately focused on winning the last war. Devising their strategy and the tactics to refight battles in the past, they ignored changes and new developments that fundamentally changed the terrain. The Republican party is caught in this trap, facing a chaotic fight for the party’s nomination that is largely the result of its own missteps. Setting aside the Trump phenomenon, which is admittedly almost impossible, the unmistakable trend in current polling for the nomination is that the closer a candidate is perceived to be to the national party leadership, the less support they have from Republican voters. ...

Grassley to Kerry: Hillary committed “serious” violation by giving attorneys e-mail files

Did Hillary Clinton commit an egregious security violation by giving her attorneys the files from her private e-mail server? The files contained classified material, including Top Secret/compartmented information from the NSA, DIA, and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), which produces some of the most sensitive intelligence of all from US spy satellites. The files got transmitted on thumb drives and stored in an unauthorized and unsecured facility, Sen. Chuck Grassley told Secretary of State John Kerry, and to people without the proper classification level to handle it, McClatchy reported last night: In a “serious risk” to national security, Hillary Clinton gave her ...

The national political dialogue is centered on which candidate is up or down in various national, and specific state level, polls. Yet when voting begins in about 5 months, the path to the Republican nomination won’t be as simple as coming out on top in final polling, or even voting on election day. The nominating process will tax all but the most organized campaigns. On Tuesday, the Colorado Republican party announced that it was scrapping its caucus’ presidential preference poll. The party will still meet in caucuses to select delegates to the national convention, but the state’s 37 delegates to the GOP convention in Cleveland won’t be tied to any candidate. In effect, ...
GOP’s new idea to stop Trump: Make candidates pledge to support the nominee in order to qualify for the ballot

Dumb. You think Trump gives a crap about a pledge? He’d take the pledge, renounce it later, then laugh at what losers these Republican leaders are for ever believing that he’d keep his promise. And his fans would cheer him on. “He outwitted the RINOs by making them think he’s a man of his word!” The Virginia and North Carolina parties are in discussions about implementing a new requirement for candidates to qualify for their primary ballots: that they pledge to support the Republican presidential nominee — and not run as a third-party candidate — in the general election… Any moves to tie Trump’s hands, though, could infuriate the mercurial ...
