Poll: Trump Holds 30-Point Lead Over DeSantis in Nevada

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump holds a 30-point lead over Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) in Nevada as the Republican primary field continues to grow.

The poll, which Vote TXT conducted and Nevada Newsmakers sponsored, found that Trump holds 51 percent of support among Republican primary voters, while 21 percent back DeSantis. No other candidate or potential candidate eclipses double digits, with former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) at five percent, followed by entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy with three percent and former Vice President Mike Pence, who has two percent of support. Another 11 percent are undecided.

Vote TXT pollster Bryan Bedera told Newsmakers that Trump has considerable advantages in name recognition and “campaign infrastructure” versus the rest of the field.

“He has been talking to his voters consistently for nearly eight years, and that puts him so far ahead of anyone else in the race,” he added. “They may not be able to catch him, especially if it appears Trump is impervious to negative attacks on his character.”

The survey comes as the Republican primary field continues to expand, with DeSantis announcing he was entering the fray on Wednesday night and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) launching his campaign on Monday. Former Gov Chris Christie (R-NJ) is reportedly expected to enter the race, while Gov. Doug Bergum is weighing a “likely” bid, as NBC News noted. Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) is also reportedly “reconsidering” a White House run.

Poll: 63% Believe Trump-Russia Smear Was ‘Hit Job,’ Majority Want Involved FBI Officials Prosecuted

/0 Comments/in , /by

Two-thirds of voters believe former President Donald Trump was the target of a political “hit job” over allegations that his campaign colluded with Russia, and a majority want the FBI officials involved “criminally prosecuted,” according to a Rasmussen poll released after Special Counsel John Durham released his report on the origins of Russiagate.

Last week, Durham released his long-awaited report, which found the FBI should never have launched an investigation into Trump’s campaign over its alleged ties with Russia.

“Based on the review of Crossfire Hurricane and related intelligence activities, we conclude that the Department and the FBI failed to uphold their important mission of strict fidelity to the law in connection with certain events and activities described in this report,” the 300-page report concluded.

Duram’s report also revealed that top leaders at the FBI shut down four criminal investigations into Hillary and Bill Clinton, among other findings.

Sixty-three percent of voters told Rasmussen they believe the Trump-Russia narrative was a political “hit job,” orchestrated by Hillary Clinton’s campaign. (Read more from “Poll: 63% Believe Trump-Russia Smear Was ‘Hit Job,’ Majority Want Involved FBI Officials Prosecuted” HERE)

Manhattan Judge Sets Trump’s Hush-Money Criminal Case Trial for Middle of Primary Season

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Manhattan judge set former President Donald Trump’s criminal trial date for the middle of the primary season, The Associated Press reported Tuesday.

Trump appeared virtually in a court hearing regarding the criminal investigation into whether alleged hush money payments were made via forged business records, according to the AP. Judge Juan Merchan scheduled Trump’s criminal trial to March 25, forcing the former president to come before the Manhattan court room amid the highly contentious primary season.

The former president expressed frustration during his appearance, and threw his hands up when Merchan ordered him to cancel all other plans for the newly-scheduled court appearance, which could last for weeks, according to the AP. Trump took to Truth Social following his virtual courtroom visit, and argued the judge infringed on his First Amendment rights.

“Just had New York County Supreme Court hearing where I believe my First Amendment Rights, ‘Freedom of Speech,’ have been violated, and they forced upon us a trial date of March 25th, right in the middle of Primary season,” Trump wrote. “Very unfair, but this is exactly what the Radical Left Democrats wanted. It’s called ELECTION INTERFERENCE, and nothing like this has ever happened in our Country before!!!”

A Relentlessly Anti-Trump Lady Filed Another Lawsuit Against Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

E. Jean Carroll said she would do it after Donald Trump mocked her during CNN’s town hall event on May 10. After winning a $5 million judgment in a civil case, Trump called Carroll, who has accused the former president of raping her in the 1990s, a whack job. Ms. Carroll was mulling another legal action against Trump for those remarks and followed through on those reflections today, seeking additional restitution for the damages. Trump said he would appeal the initial $5 million ruling (via NYT):

Ms. Carroll’s filing Monday in Manhattan federal court seeks to intensify the financial pain for Mr. Trump. The jury in her civil case found him liable on May 9 for sexual abuse and defamation. It ordered him to pay Ms. Carroll, a former advice columnist and fixture in Manhattan’s media circles, $2 million for the sexual abuse and $3 million for the defamation.

Monday’s filing came in a separate defamation lawsuit that Ms. Carroll had filed in 2019 against Mr. Trump, 76, which is before the same judge who presided in the civil trial but had been sidetracked by appeals. The older case stemmed from comments Mr. Trump made that year, shortly after she said that he had raped her in a Manhattan department store dressing room in the mid-1990s. That lawsuit is still pending.

The Explosive Durham Report Proves Republicans Can’t Afford to Cower in the Fight Against Government Weaponization

/0 Comments/in , /by

When Special Counsel John Durham released his explosive 306-page report about the Russian-collusion hoax on Monday, he merely confirmed what many of us already knew: the Obama Administration colluded with Democrats and the corporate media and weaponized the FBI to take down former President Donald Trump before he was even elected to office.

For years, the government, sworn to protect the people, created a partisan scheme to take down an American citizen because he threatened the deep state’s near-total grip on power. Durham’s report was critical because it exposed the years of corruption and “confirmation bias” fueling the “Russia Russia Russia” lies.

Uncovering and punishing, however, are two different things, and Durham, despite bringing charges against two known hoaxers, was mostly successful at establishing that the government levied a massive abuse of power against its citizens.

Now the ball is in the GOP’s court. Ever since they took back the House of Representatives in the 2022 midterm election, Republicans have honed in on the corruption that plagues Democrats like President Joe Biden, the Department of Justice, and intelligence agencies like the FBI. . .

The GOP knows corruption at the DOJ and FBI is deeply rooted and, as evidenced by the FBI’s reported retaliation campaign against whistleblowers, ongoing. This is exactly why Republicans must leverage the momentum they gained from Durham to punish those who weaponized and continue to weaponize themselves against the American people.

The Key Detail That’s Found in Every Investigation About Trump or the 2016 Election

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Durham Report is here, and many intelligence and law enforcement officials should prepare to be yanked before numerous House committees to answer for the Russian collusion hoax. It’s official: Trump was right. Half the country knew for years that this was a wild goose chase, super-charged by the Justice Department’s overt bias against Donald Trump. CNN’s Jake Tapper didn’t sugarcoat it: the findings of Special Counsel John Durham are devastating to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and it exonerates the former president. The actions the bureau and others performed constitute the ‘deep state’ operations against the former president that we all knew were true. The FBI slow-walked the Clinton email probe but executed a headlong charge in the one targeting Mr. Trump, which hoped to peg him as a Kremlin agent.

In the process, the credibility of the FBI, our preeminent law enforcement and domestic intelligence agency that prided itself as an objective, professional, and apolitical institution, has been wrecked. The history of abuse and overreach throughout this investigation is epic, with new details showing that the FBI had evidence that the Steele Dossier could be Russian disinformation, which it was, but withheld disclosing that to keep the spy warrants against those in Trump’s orbit operational. Bias being a motivation, which Durham highlighted, isn’t new. In fact, the basis for the core of the report was already previewed to us with the Horowitz report in 2018.

‘Treason’: Trump Sounds off After Durham Report Reveals FBI Malfeasance

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. Former President Donald Trump sounded off on Monday in response to the long-awaited report from Special Counsel John Durham showing that the FBI should have never launched its investigation into the 2016 Trump presidential campaign.

In a series of posts on the former president’s Truth Social account Monday, Trump called the actions of certain FBI agents as being tantamount to “treason” and how a “great fraud” had been pushed on the American people.

“After extensive research, Special Counsel John Durham concludes the FBI never should have launched the Trump-Russia Probe! In other words, the American Public was scammed, just as it is being scammed right now by those who don’t want to see GREATNESS for AMERICA!” he wrote.

“The Durham Report spells out in great detail the Democrat Hoax that was perpetrated upon me and the American people. This is 2020 Presidential Election Fraud, just like ‘stuffing’ the ballot boxes, only more so. This totally illegal act had a huge impact on the Election. With an honest Media, we are looking at the Crime of the Century!” he later added.

In subsequent posts, the former president expressed gratitude for firing former FBI Director James Comey and called upon Congress to enact measures to ensure it never happens again.

Trump Says There ‘Must Be a Heavy Price to Pay’ for Comey, Democrats After Release of Durham Report

By Fox News. Former President Trump said Monday that former FBI Director James Comey and Democrats need to be held accountable for spending years investigating alleged collusion between Trump and Russia now that Special Counsel John Durham has released a report that says the Trump-Russia probe never should have been launched.

“I, and much more importantly, then American public have been victims of this long-running and treasonous charade started by the Democrats — started by Comey,” Trump told Fox News Digital. “There must be a heavy price to pay for putting our country through this.”

Durham’s report found that the Department of Justice and FBI “failed to uphold their mission of strict fidelity to the law” when it launched the Trump-Russia investigation.

In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, Trump said the activities surrounding the FBI’s original Trump-Russia investigation were “a total disgrace,” and said “public anger over this report is at a level that I have not seen before.”

“This report took a long time because John Durham is a very thorough investigator,” Trump said. “But the result is unequivocal and an absolute disaster in terms of justice.” (Read more from “Trump Says There ‘Must Be a Heavy Price to Pay’ for Comey, Democrats After Release of Durham Report” HERE)

Trump Appeals E. Jean Carroll Verdict; Poll: Majority of Voters Think Trial in E. Jean Carroll Case Was Unfair

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Caller. Former President Donald Trump appealed a New York jury’s decision holding him liable for sexual battery and defamation against former Elle Magazine writer E. Jean Carroll.

The jury awarded Carroll $5 million in damages relating to her allegations that Trump raped her inside a dressing room at Manhattan’s Bergdorf Goodman department store in 1995 or 1996. The nine-person jury did not find the former president liable for rape. Trump’s attorneys filed a notice of appeal with the 2nd U.S. District Court of Appeals Thursday, CNN reported.

The former president, who is running for re-election in 2024, has said he does not know Carroll personally and alleged she made up the story in an “election interference” attempt.

“My poll numbers went up and they went up with the other fake charge too. Because what’s happening is they’re doing this for election interference,” Trump said during a CNN Republican Presidential town hall Wednesday evening.

Poll: Majority of Voters Think Trial in E. Jean Carroll Case Was Unfair

By Breitbart. “The overwhelming majority” of Republican primary voters do not believe former President Donald Trump sexually assaulted E. Jean Carroll, according to a poll conducted the day he was found liable in their civil trial, which they also believe was unfair.

The Co-Efficient poll, an internal survey commissioned by the Trump campaign, shows that Trump’s favorability rating among likely Republican primary voters is 63 percent – “the strongest” in the GOP primary field. He holds a net favorability rating of plus 37 percent.

Of those who find Trump favorable, not a single percent say they believe Carroll. Conversely, 87 percent of the sub-demographic believes Trump, as do 14 percent of those who find Trump unfavorable, while 50 percent believe Carroll. Another 36 percent are unsure of who to believe. Among those who have a neutral view of Trump, nearly six in ten say they believe him, versus just two percent who believe Carroll.

The polling outfit also asked voters if they think Trump received a fair trial, again finding the vast majority of those who perceive him positively (90 percent) do not. One in four Republicans who feel negatively about him says that he received an unfair trial, as do 77 percent of those who have neutral feelings toward the 45th president.

Trump Goes off on CNN Host During Town Hall; Joe Biden After Trump Town Hall: ‘Do You Want Four More Years of That?’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. Former President Trump criticized CNN host Kaitlan Collins during a town hall, calling her a “nasty person.”

During Wednesday’s event, Collins questioned Trump over his handling of classified documents, which he said he had “the right” to declassify any records.

“Are you ready? Can I talk?” After the host asked him why he kept the documents despite a subpoena and requests from the National Archives, Trump asked him.

“What’s the answer?” Collins asked.” I would like you to answer the question.” . . .

“It’s very simple – you’re a nasty person, I’ll tell ya,” Trump responded as the crowd cheered. (Read more from “Trump Goes off on CNN Host During Town Hall” HERE)

Joe Biden After Trump Town Hall: ‘Do You Want Four More Years of That?’

By Breitbart. Joe Biden fundraised off of former President Donald Trump’s CNN town hall appearance on Wednesday, asking people if they “want four more years of that?”

“It’s simple, folks. Do you want four more years of that? If you don’t, pitch in to our campaign,” the president tweeted Wednesday night.

As Breitbart News reported, former President Donald Trump largely dominated the CNN town hall on Wednesday as he blew through Kaitlan Collins’ questioning and speaking almost unopposed:

Former President Donald Trump steamrolled CNN’s Kaitlan Collins during Wednesday’s Townhall event in New Hampshire, dismissing her politically biased and outdated questions, effectively reducing her role as the moderator by speaking directly to the audience about the “gotcha” topics a visibly irritated Collins continually posed throughout the night.

The highly anticipated townhall event, teased by Trump, boded well for the former president, despite Collins’s attempt to begin the event with a series of contentious topics and arguably outdated leftist narratives — from the 2020 election results to January 6 to accusations in the E. Jean Carroll case. Notably, Trump received a standing ovation at his introduction.

Democrats Are Panicking Over Fears That Trump Could Beat Biden in 2024

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic strategists are entering full-blown panic mode over fears that President Joe Biden is politically vulnerable ahead of next year’s presidential election.

On Sunday, a new ABC News/Washington Post survey showed two important figures. First, it showed that Donald Trump would beat Biden in a hypothetical matchup by a significant margin. Second, it showed that not even a majority of Democratic voters want Biden to be their party’s nominee again, especially as they question his mental and physical acuity.

That poll, and others like it, have instilled fear in Democrats that not only does Biden stand to lose re-election — but Trump could beat him this time.

“Be very f***ing worried,” one Democratic strategist told The Hill, speaking of how his party should feel about Biden.

Another strategist explained that he feels Democratic operatives are living with cognitive dissonance, such that they misunderstand the Trump phenomenon, why he remains popular, and what that means for the Biden campaign.
