I live in Cleveland, Ohio and John Kasich is not popular in this state and we have been very upset with the Ohio Republican party itself which always promises one thing but ALWAYS does the opposite. The only way trump would not win in Ohio on the 15th would be massive voter fraud which is very possible.

Republican Party Civil War of Self-Destruction
Armtsrong Economics Blog
Re-Posted Mar 3, 2016 by Martin Armstrong
As we head into 2017, we are looking at the entire world coming undone at the seams. The year 2017 will be the Political Year from Hell because this is a global trend that is unfolding. The establishment Republicans are fighting for control of the party to ensure Trump does not get the nomination. Some even talk about banning him from all further debates. Then the latest catch-phrase they attack him with is that he is no conservative. That begs the question, if they are conservative, then why does the deficit continue to rise, they fail to downsize government, they support every war effort, and they supported every tax increase right down to FATCA. So if this is conservative, then the last Republican I saw was really a Democrat in drag. Make no mistake about it. This will drive markets completely nuts as we move into 2018. So pay attention to politics. This is the collapse of government right before your eyes.
The truth is they like things as they are. It is not that Trump is not a conservative, the problem is he is an outsider. They want the status quo and no outsider to upset the apple-cart. Behind the curtain, make no mistake about it; THEY PREFER HILLARY TO TRUMP. Why? Because Hillary is one of them and will never upside the elite status of Washington politicians. She too is owned by the bankers just as Cruz’s wife works at Goldman Sachs.
There are Republicans opposing Trump and Romney will lead the charge yet stop short of endorsing anyone else. While the Republican party leadership could make more progress if they focused on building bridges rather than burning them down, this is about them retaining power against any outsider. They have no interest in reforming Washington no less the country. It’s just fine as it is.
Our model has been warning about the rise of a 3rd party for 2016 or some anti-establishment movement. IT is by no means out of the question to see a 3rd Party. It seems the elite Republicans want Trump to exit the Republican Party and become Independent for they would rather hand it all to Hillary to ensure their rank and career political status. The fear Trump will be an outsider who will trim the sails of government and reduce wasteful spending that feeds their friends and family, is just too much for them to accept.
We have also written warning that if there would be a third party, it would come from a split in the Republicans, not the Democrats. There is a Civil War brewing within the Republicans and we must accept the fact that the Party may very well self-destruct. The corruption in politics is far too great for these people to ever have any national sense of “Representing” the people rather than their own self-interest. So it does not matter who it might be, even if Trump is driven out of the Republican Party, we are looking at Trump 3.0 come 2018 election cycle and that will devastate Congress itself. We are looking at a huge spike overthrowing career politicians in 2018 in the Congress. That will not be Trump, it will be an army of Trumps.
We have been warning that 2017 will be the Year from Political Hell. The establishment politicians are too busy trying to defeat Trump to bother to address the real crisis that hits next year. This is their own projection. The deficits will explode in 2017 and they will respond with raising taxes. So if Trump is NOT elected, we will see Trump say SEE I TOLD YOU SO. That will set the stage even more for the wholesale overturn of Congress in 2018.
At the end of the day, this is driving a stake in the heart of CONFIDENCE. As this materializes, that will help to destabilize the markets and then we will begin to see the Sling-Shot. That requires a collapse in CONFIDENCE within government. Once we crack that level of CONFIDENCE where the majority assume government is there to protect them rather than shake the money from their pockets, we will begin to see things materialize.
This is the essence of a Sling-Shot Move. This is precisely the type of self-destruction that will cause the world economy to implode. It is all about them. Like the Troika in Europe, there is no intent upon ever reforming government. The assume they can force everything to do what they demand. Sorry; they are just wrong.
Outrageous Reports of Republicans Engaged in Voter Fraud to Stop Trump

Re-Posted Mar 3, 2016 by Martin Armstrong
Widespread polling booth and ballot malfunction in several states brings into question the integrity of our voting system. By lunchtime on Super Tuesday, Election Protection, a nonpartisan coalition of groups that run election-day hotlines, said their hotline had received more than 1,000 calls. The majority of calls came from Alabama, Georgia and Texas.
Voters in Williamson County, Texas reported to KLBJ Radio that voting machines were actually rigged and switched their vote from Trump to Rubio or another candidate creating distrust in our voting system. Marco Rubio won Williamson County, Texas with 37% of the county’s vote versus the 18% he received state wide.
We are in meltdown mode. The Republican are out to stop Trump at all costs. They are trying to rob him of the nomination and we can expect the polls to be rigged and they may very well try to broker the election combining all other delegates to one person. What many establishment politicians now want is for Cruz and Rubio to just gather delegates and rig the machines if they have to, and then combine everyone’s delegates to the first ballot to stop Trump using their rules. If they can accomplish that, then Trump will lose his delegates and they are free to vote for whoever they want after the first ballot.
This is becoming a real civil war with the establishment Republicans against the people. This does not look like it will end nicely. Be prepared for some really wild rides ahead. This may end up as the main fundamental behind a Sling Shot move that unfolds as confidence in government collapses.

Great discussion with O-Riley and Dennis Miller — short and sweet. All the dirty laundry will now be coming out … lol

On the Republican side, the establishment is ALL against Trump. They do not want him in regardless of the people’s vote. So while they pretend this is a Democracy, it is all about maintaining the status quo in Washington. The voters in all but Texas and Vermont in exit polls said they were mostly looking for an outsider candidate. Instead of asking why are voters so angry, they try to attack Trump personally rather than listening to the people. The voters want someone who is NOT a politician to actually change Washington. Put Rubio in or Hillary, and it will make no difference exactly as Obama and Bush. Washington remains in a state of delusional denial as is the case in Brussels where they too fear a BREXIT. The smart ones worry that will lead to a contagion where the majority of Europeans are turning also against the career politicians in Brussels.
CNN reported in exit polls that large numbers of Republicans across the board said they felt “betrayed” by their party, with almost 6 in 10 feeling that way in Georgia and Alabama, and roughly half of Virginia Republicans feeling that way. The establishment still do not get it. This is not about Trump – it is a vote against them. Cruz is taking Texas and Oklahoma where people vote religion rather than economics.
This is the Peak in Government we have been forecasting took place 2015.75. It was not the peak in stock markets, gold, or anything in the private sector. It was the peak in government and voters are turning away from government in a massive manner.
I have state many times, that these people are totally incompetent. They could not manage a bubble-gum machine no less run our economy. The mere fact they constantly have to raise taxes proves they are not qualified to manage anything within budget. They could never work in the private sector for they would surely end up in prison.
Make America Great Again – The Movement !
Good material here! It’s too bad the all medial is in bed with the Globalists or Trump would be even further ahead.
Donald J. Trump aka Batman
Donald J. Trump has tapped into the anger of the American people, the vulgarians, who know and feel that all they have fought and died for over 240 years will soon be gone if the current crop of corrupt DC politicians have their way. A true Grassroots movement by the vulgarians has taken root and signs of protest are now appearing in public in support of Trump and the vulgarians show up in mass at his rallies. This is the way that non-violent change is made — the people will be allowed to have their say or there will be hell to pay.
Now that we have found a champion Donald J. Trump aka Batman to fight for us — some have said that he is not perfect, no of course not he is human just like the rest of us that carry the original sin. But he is a Christian and he is a strong leader and his heart is in the right place. Further he wants to fix the wrongs that have been done to all of us and to the Constitution. The GOPe and most of the rest of the Washington elite have, in essence, signed on with the devil himself and sold their souls to him knowingly; but worse so have many world organizations and counties like the IMF and the UN and the EU and China and even the Catholic Pope. We are in the fight to the end and we will not be turned from our goal of making Washington work for us not for them.
Therefore in the spirit of the Declaration of Independence which started us down this path we rededicate ourselves to the founding principles … “and for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”
The GOP is now in a full Destroy Trump mode — Nothing is off the table they can not allow Trump to be President at any cost!
In 2014 the Republican establishment was faced with a tea party challenger Chris McDaniel who was beating their man Thad Cochran for a US Senate seat in Mississippi. The GOP hired three GOP operatives to take out McDaniel with a series of dirty tricks ads all totally fabricated and untrue. Money was no object and the plan worked so well that it’s know known as the “Mississippi Plan or Strategy” or the “Full Mississippi“and the same group of operatives has now been hired to take out Trump.
The following information is taken from The Conservative Tree house blog
Appearing on Bloomberg News last week was the former Mississippi architect, Stuart Stevens, and Mississippi financier/bag-man, Henry Barbour, part of the team who carried out the Mississippi Strategy – openly admitted their intent to use the same level of racist vitriol to remove Donald Trump from the Republican primary. Stuart Stevens and Henry Barbour are now assembled again to begin the process of “taking down Trump”. Stevens fully admits to developing the Mississippi 2014 strategy and how it will work in 2016 against Donald Trump.
(L-R) Stuart Stevens – Mark Halprin – Henry Barbour
So how do they do it? Simple, it’s war – a thermonuclear political war. There are no boundaries, there are no rules, there is nothing too far, there is nothing held back.
They will run attack ads, they’ll shout names and make up malicious smears; they’ll follow the candidate around to make noise at rallies; they will lie about anything and everything; they’ll pay anyone and everyone to assist, and they don’t care if the high-information voter knows what they are doing; it’s all part of the overall scorched earth plan.
They’ll pay people to do and say anything, ANYTHING. Winning is all that counts. Destroying the opponent is all that matters. Every means justifies that end. Period!
The GOPe have already hired actresses and actors to appear in the attack ads and to make personal appearances, as actors, during Trump events. The hiring agency is Talent Direct Agency (TDA) – The actors and production teams are working out the script details right now.
Now keep in mind that this plan is authorized by the RNC and that they will spend any amount of money to destroy trump. Be prepared for every possible accusation being presented against Trump over the next 10 months; for even if trump out do’s them and gets the nomination they will work to support Hillary in the general election. The GOP will do anything to stop Trump, and I do mean anything.
BE PREPARED FOR WHAT IS COMING AND DO NOT LOSE FAITH THIS IS A BATTLE FOR THE VERY SOUL OF OUR COUNTRY

Advice for Trump that will — Make America Great Again
Armstrong Economics Blog
Re-Posted Feb 29, 2016 by Martin Armstrong
QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; Why do you not advise Trump as Rubio and the Media demand details from him but not from anyone else as to their economic plan?
CB
ANSWER: I do not advise Trump. If he really wanted to make an impact, he should watch the SOLUTION DVD. If he demonstrated that we need major reform because we are going broke under the management of career politicians, then he might attract more people who are on the fence. Let’s be realistic. Those supporting Trump distrust government politicians. They really do not care about his message. I at least would prefer Trump not for any policy, but any career politician will bring the same line of thinking to the table. There will be no thinking out of the box and we will be blasted with more regulation and taxes killing the economy. They will continue to hunt money until nothing is left for us but total enslavement and that does not matter if we are talking about Rubio or Hillary.
Obama stuffed Christine Largarde in the IMF and that has been far more devastating than any appointment to the Supreme Court. She has destroyed the global economy threatening countries to hand over info on everyone (except exempt politicians like her of course) so they can hunt money absolutely everywhere. They do not look at the net result, and only look at the world through their own greedy eyes. I would hope Trump would look at this as a businessman and say; you people are nuts.
The standard of living for families is declining. That is not because the “rich” are making more from investment, it is because of rising taxes and government robbing their savings to fund themselves and pretending they are there for their retirement. In reality, they keep lowering benefits because they stole all the money. Anyone in the private sector who did this would be in jail. We are prosecuted for fraud in the private sector, but fraud in public sector is rewarded and called “politics.”
What advice I would give Trump:
- We will not raise the minimum wage, we will eliminate payroll taxes and end the borrowing from the poor robbing them of interest by handing them a refund check so they think politicians are fantastic
- Instead of QE for bankers, eliminate taxes and try QE for the people
- Eliminate Social Security for those under 50. Pay out those over 50. Replace Social Security with mandatory 401K investment plans
- Merge SEC & CFTC so advisers can provide advice on the best investment rather than just what they have a license for in equities v futures
- Eliminate domestic corporate taxation. This will provide the incentive to bring jobs home
- Stop government borrowing. Limit the creation of new money to 5% of GDP (I do not want to hear that will be inflationary since QE failed to produce inflation which is all about confidence not the quantity of money). At times up to 70% of the national debt has been accumulated interest.
- Retire the national debt and stop borrowing federally competing with the private sector for capital
- Return the central bank to the original design of 1913. Eliminating government debt will do the job. During economic declines, the Fed should buy corporate short-term paper with its “elastic money” which will compensate for banks when they stop lending. Short-term corporate paper is actually paid off and that would then contract the money supply back to its original state prior to the crisis.
- Judicial reform is mandatory. I would retire ALL federal judges. Replacements should be nominated only by the legal profession with penalty to bribe and such appoint to be life imprisonment or death, the choice is that of the sentenced person.
- Expand the Supreme Court and make it an ABSOLUTE right to be heard rather than winning a lottery. Moreover, a panel of judges nominated by the legal community shall determine the constitutionality of ALL legislation BEFORE enacted. It should never be the burden of the citizen to PROVE the government is acting unconstitutionally. The Constitution is NEGATIVE and was intended to be a “restraint” upon government. ALL LIVES matter; do this and they will.
- Reform the Grand Jury process. Both sides should be allowed to present ALL evidence to the Grand Jury and they alone will decide to indict. State prosecutors who protect police should themselves be in prison.
- Restitution of the Roman position of Tribune of the people; a person who prosecutes any government employee from police up to judges and politicians. Then and only then will the system be cleaned out.
- Eliminate TSA at airports. You should be cleared as to who you are and no need for Xrays and strip searches if you are known to be a normal citizen. If you are a foreign visitor, they alone should go through TSA if they do not have prior clearance.
- Eliminate all taxes whatsoever if you are not present to use such services.
- End all government pension plans which they never fund properly any how. Eliminating taxes will allow greater savings and they should be required to save a portion as do private citizens.
- Forgive all student loans and end subsidization for college. Without competition, the education is worthless anyhow. Restore the Roman system of apprenticeship. In Switzerland, less than 10% of students go to college. They enter an apprenticeship in the field they desire. Being taught by the real world is far better than theory.
- Reform lawsuits capping jury awards and this will reduce medical costs. Introduce Artificial Intelligence systems which will provide the first diagnosis which will be far more reliable. Hospitals are turning into businesses of big corporates reducing family doctors. Eliminating medical expenses as a liability so they cannot take someone’s home or put them into bankruptcy (opposite of Clintons did to students) will cause the healthcare to be a normal business cycle rather than an extortion that is like government consuming a larger proportion of disposable income. Return hospitals to their Hippocratic Oath and must FIRST take care of anyone irrespective of money: hence, end Obamacare.
- Eliminate all property taxes. You should be able to retire without having to cope with rising property taxes.
- No person should have to pay more than 15% of their salary to state and local government. If a government needs more, something is wrong and they need to be reformed.
- All government pensions must be eliminated. Part of the QE process should be the bailout of pension systems for government workers and end the process. If we eliminate taxation and social security, they will by law be required to save a portion in their own 401K
These are just for the start. This is my short-list I would advise Trump to adopt. Then he just might beat everyone in history with the percentage of the popular vote exceeding 65%.
