More Developments

More Smoke

April 11, 2016

There’s more propagation of The Great Bluff in the news, some of it coming from very credible people.  Let me explain how this works.  The people that want this information to gain credence will hint at it and maybe suggest it.  These people would be Trumpsters and Establishment type.  That’s all they have to do.  They are in league and want this information to come out even though it’s not true.  And truly this is probably just PART of an overall plan of chaos and accusations that they’re running.  The rest is taken care of the ones that fear that most, real grassroots conservatives.

For example, here’s Michelle Malkin from Conservative Review: Watch: Slickster Paul Ryan Wants to Choose GOP Nominee:

Now it looks like he wants to sashay and brown nose his way into the GOP presidential nomination without having to lift a finger to earn it.  GOP party bosses like loser John Boehner and Utah Big Government Republican Sen. Orrin Hack, I mean, Hatch, are talking up Ryan as the only one who can unite the party at a brokered convention.

No it doesn’t look like he wants to do that.  It’s understandable that the Establishment should absolutely not be trusted.  The Establishment is not just the GOP.  It’s not just what the Establishment Republicans want.  It’s what the whole Democratic AND Republican Establishment wants.  No, we don’t want Paul Ryan in there, but what needs to be discovered is what deals Trump, the deal-maker, has already made; particularly with the Establishment.

American Thinker has an all-out Paul Ryan Plan article:  An improbable white knight for the GOP:

All Republicans under the “big tent” need to begin to wrap their minds around the idea that the eventual nominee may be someone (and I would argue should be) who has not before been a candidate.

No we don’t NEED to wrap our mind around this load of putrescence.  Notice the “and I would argue should be” part he sticks in there.  So obviously, this article is about the writer’s fantasies and not reality.  Once again, like all the people who push this, there’s is no explanation as to HOW this going to be done.  How is this going to be done when you have to get a majority of the 2472 delegates to agree to this, when 80% of them are raging mad anti-Establishment delegates?  Good luck.  Kasich getting on that ballot is the goal.  Don’t forget that.

Now even Mark Levin is repeating this stuff.  Mark Levin is the best.  But here it is:  The Establishments Man is Paul Ryan.  However, Mark is absolutely right in his characterization of the Establishment.  They can’t be trusted.  They’ll do anything to keep power, even throw the election.  Take Cruz out at the convention, and take Trump out in the general.

Breitbart, the Trump propaganda machine, passes on an article by the New York times and entitles it:  New York Times: Paul Ryan Wages Parallel Campaign.   This is proof that Breitbart is twisting information out there and intentionally perpetuating this RUMOR that Paul Ryan is running for President.  Breitbart’s is missing half of the REAL title:  “a Mirage Candidate.”  The full title reads from the New York Times:  Ryan, a Mirage Candidate, Wages a Parallel Campaign.  Breitbart title insinuates that the article is about how Paul Ryan is running for President.  But if you actually read the article, you’ll find the article is about how Paul Ryan is NOT running for President:

Mr. Ryan is indeed at the center of a national campaign — one he calls “Confident America” — but it is NOT NECESSARILY for president… Mr. Ryan is creating a personality and policy alternative to run alongside the presidential effort — one that provides a foundation to rebuild if Republicans splinter and lose in the fall.

Details.  Details.  Details.  Think about this:  If you wanted to inform people that Paul Ryan is indeed NOT running for President, why do you put a stupid title like that on your article?  It doesn’t take a genius to see how that title is going to be misconstrued.  This is how you report factual information, yet direct public opinion the opposite direction.  It’s intentional.

More Truth

Steave Deace, from Conservative Review, has an excellent article:  5 Election Questions You’ve Been Asking (And the Answers).  Now remember Steve Deace is the guy who called the Iowa primary almost to a T; and that’s when there were 17 candidates in the race.  He’s very insightful and trustworthy.

3) Won’t the RNC just change the rules at the convention to put an establishment guy in?

Any rules changes at the convention must be approved by a MAJORITY vote in Cleveland. It’s looking pretty obvious a majority of the delegates there will be Cruz’s, and they’re obviously not going to vote for rules changes that hurt their candidate. Most of this is paranoia driven by two groups: establishment hacks trying to be relevant again, and Trump hacks who are trying to stall Cruz’s delegate momentum by spreading this around. Ignore it. We’re winning. We just need to finish the game

Need more be said?  Steave calls it paranoia.  “Paranoia driven by two groups: establishment… and Trump hacks…”  Is that not we’ve been saying all along.  Here’s another article backing us up by  Andrew C. McCarthy, PJMedia;  Trump, Mr. ‘Win, Win, Win!’, Doesn’t Know How to Play – Even When the Game Goes His Way

The rules for 2016 state contests have not been changed in midstream; they have been known from the start. How each campaign applies them tells us a great deal that we need to know about the candidates. That is why it is a fantasy to believe the GOP establishment can get away with rigging the convention process to insert a white knight candidate who has not been campaigning. The only way to run for president is to run for president.

Even More Tuth

So if Paul Ryan is not really who the Establishment wants in there, then what are they up to.  Trump’s ONLY hope at this point in the game is to make a deal with the Establishment. Why not?  Hasn’t he bragged about how he’s been doing that all his life?  The deal is already made.  The rules will be changed one way or another in the coming months.  Trump will lobby for Kasich and Rubio delegates in order to secure the nomination.  If the rules change and Kasich and Rubio are on the ballot, it’s possible they may sway their delegates to Trump in exchange for…  something.  What?  Power.  Position.  Influence.  Who knows?   Vice-President?  The Establishment’s gain will be Trump’s loss in the general election. Here’s something on the Trump/Kasich deal from RedState:  Time for John Kasich to Get his Very Own Scarlet “T”

But more to the point, John Kasich has now actively helped Donald Trump secure delegates. This is more even than Corey Lewandowksi, Trump’s own campaign manager has done. John Kasich is now an active ally of Donald Trump. And for that, he gets to wear a scarlet “T” for the rest of his life.

The deal will have already been made, and the Kasich and Rubio would have to throw their weight before the convention begins to get themselves on the ballot.  They’d have to join forces with Trump to get the rules changed.   Cruz’s position will probably be that the rules are set and shouldn’t be changed at this point.  In this article by Breitbart, Dave Bossie: Trump ‘Wanted to Run a Different Kind of Campaign’ and ‘That’s Going to Come Back to Haunt Him’, Dave Bossie says the following:

“The only way for the rules to change is for the full convention to vote on them,” Bossie argued.  “The delegates — the Cruz delegates, the Trump delegates — have to vote to approve that.  And even if, like I was saying earlier, some of those delegates are truly not Trump or Cruz delegates, there has to be a majority willing to change the rules in order to do it.  And if that does not happen, then either Trump or Cruz will be the nominee.  That’s the ball we all have to keep our eye on.”

In order for the Establishment to pull this off, SOME of Trump delegates, SOME of Kasich and Rubio delegates, along with SOME of Morton Blackwell’s Crusaders must be strong enough to lower the threshold to get Kasich’s and Rubio’s delegates on the ballot.  Once they’re in, it’s Bye Bye Cruz.  UNLESS, Cruz has amassed enough delegates to block a rule change before or after the important vote on the Convention floor to ratify the rules.  He might not have enough delegates to keep the rules the same.  But he might have enough to win on the second ballot.  Oooo Scarwey!
