As outlined in The Great Bluff<\/a>,\u00a0the conversation revolving around the Establishment dropping in a non-candidate into the convention mix is a bluff.\u00a0 It may not be, but it may be.\u00a0 So I want to keep track of all that’s going on out there to perpetuate this bluff.\u00a0 On one side, you’re going to have the fear-mongering and finger-pointing saying “The Establishment is going to put Ryan in!”; knowing full well that it’s mechanically impossible.\u00a0 On the other side, you’re going to have the Establishment confirming and perpetuating these fears saying, “Yeah, that’s exactly what we’re gonna do!”; all while knowing full well that it’s mechanically impossible.\u00a0 They’ve been successful so far in amplifying this rhetoric in order to make getting Kasich on the ballot look like a compromise.<\/p>\n

News has circulated around\u00a0Paul Ryan’s new video, Politics These Days<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0Drudge\u00a0Report offers up their\u00a0analysis:\u00a0 PAUL RYAN LAUNCHES FIRST CAMPAIGN AD?<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Of course, Drudge is obviously a Trump surrogate.\u00a0 Drudge’s part of the bluff is to continue the narrative that the Establishment is trying to sneakily drop in Ryan as a candidate at the convention.\u00a0 This is despite the fact, that no one on earth has yet to explain how they’re going to do that.\u00a0 Paul Ryan’s part in this is unclear.\u00a0 Is he complicit in making videos that can be interpreted in this fashion?\u00a0 I think it’s a bit of a stretch.\u00a0 If anything, the video seems to be more anti-Trump and truly a stump for Cruz.\u00a0 If he’s complicit, he makes the video to feed speculations, and then acts like he did when they accused him of wanting the Speaker position:\u00a0 Just keep saying no.\u00a0 And everyone goes nuts:\u00a0 “See, it’s the same.\u00a0 He must want to be President!”\u00a0 And Ryan just keeps it going.\u00a0 And the supposed “anti-Establishment” keeps accusing.\u00a0 The Breitbart echo’s the call with more propaganda:\u00a0CAMPAIGN AD?<\/a>\u00a0 Funny, you never really see Cruz people perpetuating this.\u00a0 It’s usually Trump people.\u00a0 So that’s one side:\u00a0 The side that accuses and fear-mongers and finger-points.\u00a0 Look at this headline today (4\/8\/16) on Breitbart:\u00a0 Wash Post\u2019s Robert Costa: \u2018Party Elite\u2019 Could Turn to Paul Ryan \u2018in a Chaos Situation in Cleveland\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On the other side, you got articles like this: Rasmussen Poll: Ryan Would Lose to Clinton\/Sanders<\/a>.\u00a0 Now what does this truly accomplish?\u00a0 This is put out there to feed the anger about Ryan taking the nomination.\u00a0 Yes, if somehow somebody figured out a way to get Ryan on the ballot, everybody would be hopping mad.\u00a0 Even just suggesting it gets the same effect.\u00a0 It gets Trump people mad.\u00a0 It gets Cruz people mad.\u00a0 So this article feeds that anger.\u00a0 It confirms the accusations, the fear-mongering, and finger-pointing.\u00a0 “You see what happens if the Establishment succeeds?\u00a0 We got to stop them!”\u00a0 This article is designed to get people talking and keep talking\u00a0about something that will never happen.\u00a0 Here’s another one: Rick Santorum: GOP Race Still Wide Open<\/a>.\u00a0 The writer states, “Santorum pointed out the possibility that delegates at the convention could choose a nominee that is not in the race<\/strong>.”\u00a0 Didn’t Rick endorse Rubio?\u00a0 Rubio hasn’t endorsed anybody and has not released his delegates.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Trump NEEDS<\/strong> Kasich and Rubio delegates.\u00a0 A deal on the convention floor could hand those to him.<\/p>\n

How about Rush?\u00a0 He’s probably on neither side, but he eats this up and keeps repeating it.\u00a0 Look what he’s still saying right now<\/a> (4\/9\/2016):<\/p>\n

…If any of you are wondering what the establishment is gonna do and what they’re doing in preparation for a contested convention, and if they are, whom are they thinking of putting up, who would they like to be the nominee, there’s a way to find out what they’re doing.\u00a0 All you have to do is read The Politico.\u00a0 That’s where the Republican Party goes to leak things.<\/p>\n

The second thing to do is to keep a sharp eye on — I’ll give you just a list of names as an example.\u00a0 Ryan, Walker, Romney, Jeb.\u00a0 If you start seeing in the media news stories that are essentially puff piece profiles, if you start seeing news stories about what has Jeb been doing since he got out, and how is Jeb reacting to it, and what’s Jeb planning for his future. Or about Scott Walker, or about Ryan, if you see news stories where there is an attempt to build the case for somebody and you wonder, “What’s this about?”\u00a0 They’re floating possibilities.<\/p>\n

This is where you read between the lines and you figure out what they’re trying to pull off. And that’s how you can identify if there is somebody that they have singled out that they do want to nominate in a contested convention, just watch and see which Republican establishment types are getting a lot of it news coverage, the kind of coverage that would serve the purpose of establishing a reputation, establishing qualifications, establishing a sense of purpose.\u00a0 Yes, they might not have made it throughout the primaries, but has learned a lot and has stayed involved, is closely watching events and wants to do anything possible to help the party.<\/p>\n

If you start seeing stories like that about anybody, that will be a good indication what the power brokers are thinking.\u00a0 I think we’ve seen that with Ryan.\u00a0 We’ve seen a lot of stories about Ryan…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So you have this false narrative being trumpeted by both sides.\u00a0 Trumpsters are accusing the Establishment on one side, and you got little hints coming from the Establishment that the accusations are true.\u00a0 Ping Pong Bluff Tactic.\u00a0 Good cop. Bad Cop. \u00a0It’s all false.\u00a0 It will never happen.\u00a0 Especially, because Cruz is very close to locking down the eight state delegate majority.\u00a0 If you look at delegate count right now<\/a> (as of April 7-8,9), you’ll see that Cruz has locked down a majority of delegates in seven states.\u00a0 The eighth one is Colorado and he’s getting very close to the majority this very moment<\/a>:\u00a0 “Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz\u00a0<\/span>picks up another three delegates in Colorado\u2019s district 7 on Thursday, with another four districts voting and state level Republican party voting this weekend.”<\/strong>\u00a0 Once he locks down the eight state majority threshold, then he doesn’t\u00a0NEED<\/strong> a rule change to get on the ballot, like Kasich does.\u00a0 His delegates can lobby and vote to keep the rules as is, go into the contested convention and win this thing. (That’s if Trump, Kasich, and Rubio delegates don’t unite to change the rule.\u00a0 Why not?\u00a0 We’ll get you on that ballot and in the VP spot if you push your delegates our way)<\/p>\n

The reality is that the front runners have the real power to change the rules or keep the rules the same.\u00a0 You’ve got Reince telling people over and over what the rules are:\u00a0 He’s states<\/a>, “It’s not like the Rules Committee is going to come together and say, now it’s no states.\u00a0 They take all of the recommendations to the convention and the majority of delegates accept it.”\u00a0 As I’ve stated before, all these delegates are anti-Establishment delegates.\u00a0 There is no way they’re going to vote themselves off the ballot or some no-name on the ballot.\u00a0 So all the chaos and fear-mongering is a smoke-screen.\u00a0 It’s cover for the fact that all they really want is Kasich on the ballot; not to win mind you, but for Trump to win.\u00a0\u00a0 Their strategy is to take out Cruz in the convention and Trump in the general.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: (1:06 PM 4\/8\/16)\u00a0 Look at this junk:\u00a0 Conservatives Eye Gen. James Mattis as Presidential Alternative <\/a>\u00a0 The writer states:\u00a0 “This summer’s Republican National Convention will have to be contested in order for Mattis to land on the presidential ballot.”\u00a0 Yet if you actually read what\u00a0the Daily Beast article<\/a> he’s referring to, it has absolutely nothing to do with the RNC.\u00a0 They’re talking about Mattis going 3rd Party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
