Democratic Strategist: Trump Will Beat Hillary Like ‘a Baby Seal’

/2 Comments/in , /by

23679921353_450c0f6497_oDemocratic strategist Dave “Mudcat” Saunders believes Donald Trump will beat Hillary Clinton like a “baby seal,” and that working class whites who haven’t already left the Democratic Party for cultural reasons will due so now for economic ones.

“I know a ton of Democrats — male, female, black and white — here [in southern Virginia] who are going to vote for Trump. It’s all because of economic reasons. It’s because of his populist message,” Mudcat told The Daily Caller Wednesday.

Saunders has experience working with Jim Webb, helping getting him elected to the U.S Senate in 2006 and advised his failed bid for the presidency in 2016. Saunders was also an advisor to John Edwards in his 2008 presidential bid. The Democrat strategist is renowned for connecting politicians to “Bubbas” — white, working class Southerners.

“Working class whites in the South have already departed the Democratic Party for cultural reasons. Well the working class whites in the North are now deserting the Democrats because of economic reasons,” Mudcat told TheDC. He added, “this is the new age of economic populism, man. This is about survival for a lot of people.”

Hillary Clinton, throughout the Democratic primary, has relied heavily on the black vote, she has struggled to gain support from white men. In the SEC primary, she didn’t win over 60 percent of the white vote in any of the six states. She did however gain over 80 percent of the black vote in all of them. There has been one demographic this cycle that Clinton has lost consistently to Sanders — white men. (Read more from “Democratic Strategist: Trump Will Beat Hillary Like ‘a Baby Seal'” HERE)

Pastor’s ‘Massive’ Prediction About What Will Happen If Trump Isn’t the GOP Nominee

/49 Comments/in , /by

hqdefaultPastor Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, has sparked both praise and controversy over his support for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, and now he’s predicting that Trump supporters will sit out of the election if the businessman is prevented from becoming the nominee.

“I’m going to predict that, if the establishment somehow wrestles this nomination away from Trump — even though the rules allow for it — I think you’re going to see a massive boycott of Trump supporters in the general election,” Jeffress said during an appearance on Fox Business Network earlier this week. “I’m not saying it should be that way, but I predict that’s what’s going to happen.”

He went on to argue that many of the people who Trump has energized are outside of the “Republican system.”

While Jeffress believes that the brash businessman has motivated these people to no longer sit on the sidelines, he believes that it’s quite possible that they will bow out of the political process if another GOP candidate nabs the nomination . . .

As TheBlaze previously reported, Jeffress — who isn’t endorsing a candidate in the 2016 election cycle, but who told the Christian Post that he doesn’t believe that a Christian “has to sell his soul to the devil to vote for Donald Trump” — has offered frequent support to Trump in recent months.

Trump Says He Doesn’t Need Koch: ‘I Got My Own Money’

/0 Comments/in , /by

maxresdefaultGOP front-runner Donald Trump said Wednesday he doesn’t need the support of campaign funding powerhouse Charles Koch, saying “I got my own money.”

“What he says bears no relationship on what I do or say. I don’t need his money. I got my own money,” Trump told Breitbart News Daily on Wednesday.

Koch on Sunday had criticized Trump’s proposal for a temporary ban on letting Muslims into the country, calling it reminiscent of Nazi Germany.

Meanwhile, he told ABC on Sunday he thinks “it’s possible” a Hillary Clinton presidency would be better than putting a Republican in the White House, another comment Trump took issue with. (Read more from “Trump Says He Doesn’t Need Koch: ‘I Got My Own Money'” HERE)

2016 Election: Donald Trump Sweeps Five US States

/4 Comments/in , /by

25244866965_78feeaa81c_bDonald Trump has won presidential primaries in all five US states that voted on Tuesday, while Hillary Clinton triumphed in four out of five.

Mr Trump called himself the Republican “presumptive nominee” after victories in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island.

The results bring him closer to the number of delegates he needs before the party’s national convention in July.

For the Democrats, Mrs Clinton was denied a clean sweep by Bernie Sanders.

The Vermont senator won in Rhode Island and vowed to fight to the end of the primaries process. (Read more from “2016 Election: Donald Trump Sweeps Five US States” HERE)

Trump Addresses Rumors That His Demeanor Could Change for General Election [+video]

/3 Comments/in , /by

maxresdefaultGOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump promised that while he may “act differently” in the general election should he become the nominee, his “thought process” will still be the same.

“Well I may act differently, but my thought process is the same,” Trump told his supporters and the media who gathered at his victory party in Midtown Manhattan Tuesday night. The billionaire businessman swept all five states that held primaries Tuesday and by pretty significant margins.

“You know, when I speak to a group of 10 people in a conference room, I’m not going to be speaking the same way I spoke in Pennsylvania yesterday to 25,000 people,” Trump said during the event at Trump Tower. “It’s a very different thing, but I’ll be saying very similar things” . . .

Although it’s too soon to tell exactly how all of the 172 delegates at stake Tuesday will be divvied up among the three remaining Republican presidential candidates, Trump’s huge leads in all five states sets the candidate up to receive a serious chunk which could potentially put him over the 1,000 delegates mark — and that much closer to the 1,237 delegates needed.

Trump Promises to Make One Change If Elected President

5440607608_ab5e7b8855_b (1)Billionaire and Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump just gave America another reason to vote for him if he wins the GOP nomination. He promised to stop tweeting, calling it “not presidential,” according to a video released by The Hill.

Supporters instantly cried, “No!” at the thought that their beloved candidate would stop tweeting . . .

The Hill ran the story of Trump’s promise to stop tweeting, and many Facebook users who read the story there had a lot to say about Trump’s tweets and his promise to stop tweeting.

Mordechai Hunter Rees wrote, “It’s not tweeting that is ‘not presidential.’ It’s the things Trump tweets that are not presidential. (Forget about the things he retweets…)” (Read more from “Trump Promises to Make One Change If Elected President” HERE)

TRUMP CAMPAIGN CHIEF/LOBBYIST MANAFORT: Yeah, We’re Secretly Working With Mitch McConnell

/2 Comments/in , /by

Paul Manafort is the new head of Donald Trump’s campaign. A longtime Washington insider and heavy duty lobbyist for third world dictators, Manafort appeared this morning on Fox News Sunday and inadvertently let slip some revealing truths.

MANAFORT: …What we’re trying to do right now is work with the Mitch McConnells who we didn’t depose in Kentucky even though he won the election and we worked with him to put a unity slate together. We’re trying to bring the party together. That’s what —


WALLACE: Wait, because I think this is interesting. You’re saying that you’re working with the Senate majority leader, who to a lot of the grassroots is a symbol of the problem?

MANAFORT: We’re working with party officials and that was an example on Saturday where we could have — we won the state. We could have gone in there and tried to be disruptive as Cruz does in these states.

Manafort’s lobbying firm has been termed “the torturer’s lobby”, having represented Filipino dictator Marcos, Angolan guerrilla leader Jonas Savimbi, ousted Ukrainian president and Putin ally Victor Yanukovych, to name but a few.

Yes, Donald Trump would be vastly superior to Hillary Clinton, because a malfunctioning pencil sharpener would be vastly superior to Hillary Clinton.

But anyone expecting Trump to fight the McConnells and Ryans and the Chamber of Commerce is going to sorely disappointed. Trump has surrounded himself with Beltway cronies, lobbyists and insiders. He is a longtime Democrat and liberal.

That is what he is and will always be. Caveat emptor. (For more from the author of “TRUMP CAMPAIGN CHIEF/LOBBYIST MANAFORT: Yeah, We’re Secretly Working With Mitch McConnell” please click HERE)

Fox News Host Just Revealed Trump’s ‘Only’ Pick for VP

/13 Comments/in , /by

hqdefaultFox News host Bill O’Reilly believes he has the perfect candidate for Donald Trump to choose as a vice president if Trump wants to win the November general election.

Former Pres. George W. Bush press secretary Dana Perino was a guest on O’Reilly’s program Thursday. She was asked who Trump’s vice president choice should be . . .

The O’Reilly Factor host then jumped in and offered emphatically who that person should be.

“There’s only one choice for vice president if Donald Trump wants to win the White House. Only one person,” O’Reilly said. “Gov. Susana Martinez of New Mexico. That is the only choice if Mr. Trump, with all due respect, wants to be president. He must give it to the governor of New Mexico” . . .

“She’s very bright, she is a Republican conservative in a state that would go, you know, it’s not a lot of electoral votes, but if he can convince Gov. Martinez to be on the second, that will help him immensely,” O’Reilly said . . .

As O’Reilly observed, Martinez could help Trump in two demographics where he is weak — with women and with Hispanics. A Gallup poll published earlier this month found 70 percent of women holding an unfavorable view of the GOP front-runner. Additionally, in a Washington Post/Univision poll taken earlier this year, 80 percent of Hispanic voters have an unfavorable opinion about Trump.

Karl Rove: Trump out of Time for ‘Empty Threat’ of Third-Party Race [+video]

/4 Comments/in , /by

Donald Trump may have left the door open for a third-party run if he’s denied the GOP presidential nomination, but Republican political strategist Karl Rove Thursday called that an “empty threat,” as there is not enough time left for him to mount an independent bid.

“By the time the Republican National Convention begins on July 18 in Cleveland, 12 states will have closed their deadlines to run as an independent candidate in the fall,” Rove said on Fox News’ “Happening Now” program, outlining the numerous states, including Texas, North Carolina, Michigan and more that will have closed out their deadlines.

“A quarter for the states, more than a quarter of the states, have already closed the likelihood that he can get on the ballot, and then there are about more than a dozen that close within the next two weeks, including a couple key battleground states that he would want to be competitive in if he had any hope at all of winning the presidency.” (Read more from “Karl Rove: Trump out of Time for ‘Empty Threat’ of Third-Party Race” HERE)

Trump Just Took Back This Major Claim

/5 Comments/in , /by

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump this week walked back his assertion that he could eliminate the country’s debt after two terms as president.

In an interview with Fortune Magazine published Friday, Trump was asked how his pledge to pay off the $19 trillion debt in 10 years was possible.

“No, I didn’t say 10 years,” Trump responded. “First of all, with low interest rates, you can think in terms of refinancings, and get it down. I believe you can do certain things to pay off the debt more quickly. The most important thing is to make sure the economy stays strong. You can do it in smaller chunks. You can do it in larger chunks. And you can do it in refinancings.”

Trump had, in fact, told The Washington Post editorial board earlier this month that he would pay off the debt in eight years by renegotiating trade deals. The Post called that claim “nonsensical.” (Read more from “Trump Just Took Back This Major Claim” HERE)
