Dee, I have no faith either, this admin has a tendency to reward criminals or at the very least provide cover for them. Look at all the criminal behavior Holder and so many others got away with.
Yeah they got there own little club going and this country is going down rapidly because of it.
Love this thread LOC...I noticed Trump is going to sue Club for Growth..I get such a kick out of him.. I bet that has raised the hair on their heads...Trump has NERVE that he has not even used yer.. THAT FOKS..IS CALLED RESERVE NERVE!!! LOL...He is a Barracuda who swims with sharks daily and EATS THEM FOR LUNCH..LOL...If he becomes POTOS..I can hardly wait to see him PORK BOMB ISIS ....I still have Cruz as my favorite ..that said..Trump is a close second...
Thanks DE, I am glad you like it. I enjoy having all the info in one place to review if needed. Yes Trump is not playing any of the old establishment games and it is refreshing to see. They are not going to be able to buy him off so I hope he doubles up on body guards because they want him out BAD! They are using every dirty trick in the book to get him out. Cruz is a nice guy but he has special interest donors which makes him more theirs than ours in the scheme of things I fear.
Keep up the good work!!! If you ever start up a voter fraud thread again ..I would love to form links and give them out to new members..as I greet them..just hopeful...;)
It is alot of working keeping up a thread. If you want to contribute articles and help me with keeping it current I would be happy to start one. I have saved alot of the information from my old thread and probably should start one because Clinton if she can make it to election will probably win due to the voter fraud that Soros and other masters have in place. IMHO that is how Obama got his second term. Let me know if you want to help with adding to it and keeping it current.

Scott Walker’s exit from the White House race is disrupting the GOP contest, and many observers believe Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) will be the biggest beneficiary.
Rubio and Walker were seen at the outset of the race as the candidates with the best shot at winning over the GOP’s conservative grassroots and then running strong in the general election.
But with the Wisconsin governor now out of the mix, suddenly a new group of supporters — and big-money donors — are up for grabs.
Rubio had already been showing signs of new strength in the wake of the second GOP debate last week, with a poll from CNN/ORC putting him at 11 percent support nationally — good enough for fourth place and a big improvement over the 3 percent he had registered in the same poll just two weeks before.
“Rubio is not putting himself front and center but he is ensuring that at each Republican debate he is well noticed as competent and well-studied,” said GOP consultant Ron Bonjean. “He is showing consistency with those performances.”
Another Republican strategist, David Payne, suggested that Rubio’s presence and demeanor make him primed to take advantage of Walker’s sudden departure.
“I think the folks who were supporting, or were considering supporting [Walker], will be looking for someone with poise and polish,” Payne said. “Marco Rubio has a lot of that poise and stylistic excellence, and is starting to capitalize on this moment.”
Still, the impact of Walker’s absence is hard to predict. The battle for the support of establishment Republicans, in particular, seems fluid.
Rubio’s polling bump comes at a time when former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, the erstwhile frontrunner, appears stuck in neutral.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich, another establishment contender, is performing reasonably strongly in New Hampshire but is mired in low single digits nationwide.
And while New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was widely seen as having had a good night in the debate, it remains an open question whether his campaign can get out of the doldrums.
Any one of those candidates is also confronted with the reality that they need to overtake the trio of “outsiders” in the race: Donald Trump, Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina, none of whom has ever held elected office. Those three together command the support of 53 percent of GOP primary voters, according to the CNN/ORC poll.
Walker drew less than 1 percent support in that same poll, a finding that might well have helped push him from the race. That raises the question of how much — or how little — his departure will matter.
“When you are an asterisk in the polls that is not exactly a surge that is going to move to some other candidate,” said Tobe Berkovitz, a Boston University professor who specializes in political communications.
But the effect of the Wisconsin governor’s decision could depend on where his donors, staff and activists go. The campaigns of Bush, Rubio and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas all announced within 24 hours that some Walker supporters had come over to their camps.
Insiders suggest that the importance of organizational strength is often overlooked.
“The clear and present opportunity is with organizational folks, the folks who are precinct captains, chairman of relevant committees, donors and the like,” said Michael Steele, a former chairman of the Republican National Committee.
“A lot of people lose sight of what a presidential contest is all about,” Steele added. “It’s not about being the most ‘outside,’ it’s about organization. [There are] all these bright shining objects, whether it’s Donald Trump or Ben Carson, but meanwhile the Bush campaign, the Kasich campaign have been building up a network because they know this field is going to be whittled.”
Steele argued that Bush’s campaign machine makes him a formidable presence, whose chances are if anything understated because of media coverage of his stumbles.
Others suggested that Bush’s last name and his status as the early favorite have put a target on his back.
“If you want to say Donald Trump is held to the lowest standard, Bush is held to the highest standard,” Berkovitz said.
Even if that is so, however, many Republicans are underwhelmed by the former Florida governor’s performance to date.
“In the two debates that have occurred already, we’ve observed him showing stature and stability but not a lot of enthusiasm and action,” Payne said. “There is just sort of a lack of action.”
Many members of the GOP establishment are worried. The outsiders remain strong, they note, and there is no clear mainstream figure who appears ready to slay them.
“Every [establishment] candidate has assets but also liabilities,” said one such strategist, who requested anonymity to speak candidly.

Now all of Walkers special interest donors will most likely be giving money to Rubio. I have no interest in Rubio that is for sure he has shown his true RINO colors several times. It is like a giant game that we are set up to be the losers in over and over. I find it distasteful to say the least.
I hope all the RINOs are forced out I am sick of the same old game.
We dodged a bullet on Walker...who knew..he was good against the unions...
DE: don't tell me you subscribe to the notion that the RINOs are bad for this nation?
Seems to me that those who use this word as an insult are helping the dems win the presidency again.
And just watch how unpopular I will instantly become with DeeDee and FreedomRider.

I hope that Trump is careful. The Left is playing dirty.
