Does Biden Dominance Show that Moderate Democrats Still Own DNC?


Published on May 21, 2019

The presidential polling dominance of former Vice President Joe Biden contradicts the narrative that Democrats want the DNC to tack hard Left. Despite Socialist-wannabe insurgencies — from Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Beto O’Rourke, Pete Buttigieg, Kamala Harris, and others — the rise and rule of Biden seems to show that moderate Democrats still own the DNC. If identity politics really matter, why are Democrats so enamored of an old, white, heterosexual, male? Meanwhile, in an exclusive enclave secured from the clamor of mindless social media, a band of liberty lovers hones the skills needed to save America — reasoned thought, civil dialogue and a principled approach to the pursuit of happiness.

IPSOS Poll: Sleepy 32%, Crazy 14%, Spank Me 7%, How 7%…


Re-Posted from The Conservative Tree House on May 15, 2019 by 

Reuters/Ipsos national polling shows there are only four or five viable Democrat candidates in the race.  Biden and Bernie lead, and everyone else is way far behind.

With this level of inability to gain traction, if there isn’t another walk-on ‘chosen’ candidate, the 2020 primary is going to be a complete mess. [Poll pdf here]

(Via Reuters) […] The poll released on Wednesday found 29% of Democrats and independents said they would vote for Biden in the state nominating contests that begin next year. That is up from 24% who said so in a poll that ran in late April, days before Biden announced his bid.

[…] Biden, 76, remains in the strongest position for the top of the ticket despite questions about his age and centrist positions. He also has faced criticism over his unwanted touching of women and his treatment of law professor Anita Hill three decades ago during Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ confirmation hearing.

The monthly survey showed 29% of women who identify as Democrats and independents said they backed Biden, up 4 points from last month.

And among registered Democrats, those who supported other candidates still listed Biden as a top alternative if their choice dropped out of the race, according to the poll.

“That means that there is not a significant anti-Biden block of voters split between the other candidates,” said Chris Jackson, a polling expert at Ipsos.  (read more)

Today is the first time I’ve dug into polling data… and things are seriously goofy on the DNC club side of the 2020 election.  What’s really surprising is the lack of support for anyone other than Bernie or Biden.

Statistically, barring some unpredictable event, however the polling data aligns on July 1st, 2019 through August 1st, 2019, will be the exact same line-up outcome when the first 2020 primary is held seven months later.  It won’t change much (if at all) between August 1st 2019, and the 2020 Iowa caucus.

The DNC has a LOW-ENERGY problem, and a lack of authenticity problem, and they know it.   It’s a hot mess.

DNC Club Activity – Stacey Abrams Announces Not Running for Senate…


Re-Posted from The Conservative Tree House on April 30, 2019 by 

Rule #1, the Club activity is predictable; they follow a well worn guide. Rule #2, when it appears they are changing strategies, refer back to Rule #1.

The Joe Biden/Stacey Abrams club ticket was visible months ago; discussed in March. Standing between the club’s pre-planned designs and the visibility therein is a great deal of smoke and mirrors.  Everything is done purposefully. Planning and strategy is all they do.

.

The media; and more importantly the manipulated polling to feed the media narrative; have been pushing the Biden ticket hard. Very hard. The club spends major cash; this is where the mega-donors and the Corinthian wing-back chairs of the professional consultants, political brokers, come in.  Political polling is a business.

Within the Club’s boardroom, tradeable currencies are cash and power.  Affluence breeds influence.  Finance purchases membership messaging.  This is how Bernie is controlled.  The inability of a similar RNC Club to use that approach was a significant reason Donald Trump was able to defeat the Club.

The grassroots leftist movement that hates the club has removed the element of “Super-delegates” from round #1 of the private Club’s nomination convention. All of the DNC Club primaries are proportional; therefore a brokered convention is possible.

Now start thinking about how the Club would move, with the forethought of the convention scenario, to pre-position their chosen one. An insurance policy of sorts.

Remember also, most of those insurance moves have already taken place (Buttigieg etc).

Rule #1, the Club activity is predictable; they follow a well worn guide. Rule #2, when it appears they are changing strategies, refer back to Rule #1.

President Trump Notes DNC Club Support for Sleepy Joe over Crazy Bernie…


Re-Posted from The Conservative Tree House on April 27, 2019 by 

President Trump notes the ongoing ‘outsider‘ dynamic likely to eliminate Crazy Bernie from the DNC Club primary.

This is a pretty strategic tweet.  It puts the DNC in a tough spot and simultaneously sends a positive message to Bernie supporters – who might need a home if the club is successful, again.

Joe Biden Officially Enters 2020 Race….


Re-Posted from The Conservative Tree House on April 25, 2019 by 

Well, here it is.  Awkward, weird, structurally odd, and trying to gain momentum using a well-worn club manual with tattered binding that will likely fall flat in the digital era, Joe Biden has officially entered the race.  This is going to be interesting.

This launch is the important part to watch.  The launch helps us quantify how many of the DNC Club’s board of directors, donors and Corinthian seat-holders are supportive of this effort.

So far, the institutional support looks rather tepid; likely because Biden’s brand will be akin to selling new licenses for Blockbuster Video store franchises.

Skepticism abounds.

DELAWARE – His long-awaited answer to the biggest political question in the country and Delaware came in a video posted to social media Thursday morning.

In announcing that he will vie for the Democratic Party’s 2020 presidential nomination, Biden framed his candidacy around opposition to President Donald Trump.

“If we give Donald Trump eight years in the White House, he will forever and fundamentally alter the character of this nation, who we are, and I cannot stand by and watch that happen,” he said. (more)

It looks like the club has dusted-off the old, Fabian Socialist, and the newer Saul Alinsky, playbooks… and pasted them together for a modern version of Biden fueling his run with a message of division and carefully crafted social justice.  This becomes evident in his Charlottesville reference points.

Joe Biden

✔@JoeBiden

The core values of this nation… our standing in the world… our very democracy…everything that has made America — America –is at stake. That’s why today I’m announcing my candidacy for President of the United States. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbOU2fTg6cI …

(Yahoo) In his announcement, Biden went after President Donald Trump and the statements he made after violent clashes between activists and white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017.

In the wake of the demonstrations, which killed one person, Trump said there were fine people on “both sides,” a remark that drew wide condemnation.

“With those words, the president of the United States assigned a moral equivalence to those spreading hate and those with the courage to stand against it,” Biden said in the video. “In that moment, I knew the threat to this nation was unlike any I had ever seen in my lifetime.” (more)

While I’m tentative to put old, white and creepy Biden into the officially designated ‘Chosen One‘ slot on the DNC Club outline; it does appear a majority of the DNC board members have allotted Biden time to see if he can earn a larger support network.

Joe says: “I can do this”… and a tenuous board, not wanting to be disrespectful for earlier club loyalty, says: “ok, but you need to do it early; and prove the possibility of success early. So we can have a back-up plan if you can’t pull it off.”… “Fair enough?”

Here’s the top sixteen, and how they appear to be positioned:

  • Senator Ted Cruz was to 2016…. as Senator Elizabeth Warren is to 2020
  • ♦Governor Jeb Bush was to 2016 as…. VP Joe Biden is to 2020 (tenuously)
  • Senator Marco Rubio was to 2016… as Mayor Pete Buttigieg is to 2020
  • Governor John Kasich was to 2016… as Senator Bernie Sanders is to 2020
  • Senator Lindsey Graham was to 2016 as… Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is to 2020
  • Governor Mike Huckabee was to 2016… as Senator Corey Booker is to 2020
  • Senator Rand Paul was to 2016…. as Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard is to 2020
  • Dr. Ben Carson was to 2016… as Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke is to 2020
  • Governor Chris Christie was to 2016 as… Governor J. Hickenlooper is to 2020
  • Governor Scott Walker was to 2016 as… Governor Jay Inslee is to 2020
  • Senator Rick Santorum was to 2016…. as Senator Sherrod Brown is to 2020
  • Governor George Pataki was to 2016 as…. Eric Swalwell is to 2020
  • Governor Rick Perry was to 2016…. as Senator Kamala Harris is to 2020
  • Governor Bobby Jindal was to 2016…. as Julian Castro is to 2020
  • Carly Fiorina was to 2016 as…. Senator Amy Klobuchar is to 2020
  • Governor Jim Gilmore was to 2016 as… Rep. Tim Ryan is to 2020

Welcome to the race Sleepy Joe. I only hope you have the intelligence, long in doubt, to wage a successful primary campaign. It will be nasty – you will be dealing with people who truly have some very sick & demented ideas. But if you make it, I will see you at the Starting Gate!

Number Fourteen – Pete Buttigieg Enters Presidential Race Sunday…


Re-Posted from The Conservative Tree House on April 13, 2019 by 

Spoiler Alert…. Pete Buttigieg is officially set to kick off his entry into the 2020 Democrat presidential primary with big announcement tomorrow. However, FEC filings by his campaign yesterday showed his pre-annouced intent, he’s running.

There was a ton of DNC Club public relations and media communication effort over the past three weeks to push the former South Bend Indiana mayor into position.  That effort has paid off, and Buttigieg has bumped Elizabeth Warren to fourth place.

[Oh, there’s where the attacks will come from Watch Pocahontas go full bananas.]

Currently Buttigieg is polling third in Iowa: Biden (27%), Sanders (16%), Buttigieg (9%), Warren (7%), Harris (7%) and O’Rourke (6%), etc.

[Monmouth University Poll – Iowa]

The Club has done a great job pushing Pete into blocker position. Yes, notice how Pete backstops ♦Biden.   With the Data-Harvest complete the bloom is off the Beto, and he goes back to snorting adderall and flapping arms without cameras; however, this helps Bernie.

(FEC LINK)

Pocahontas and Harris will need to react fast to Buttigieg, and their oppo-research teams are likely diving into the gay mayors’ shallow history.

The Club has done very well with Pete.  Similar to RNC Club and Marco 2015, it is going to be difficult for the field to push past Pete with the executive-suite donors propping up their play.  Booker’s desperation today reflects the diminished value of his jazz hands.

That said, we are still not seeing the official launch of the ‘chosen one‘, the intended party donor candidate; however, we have now entered the timeline most favorable for launch, April to May/June/July 2019.

The DNC is predictable; it’s a club.  Inside the club the board members control everything. From the outside, it appears Joe Biden still holds the most board member votes.  The test run to bring out all the ‘creepy Joe’ trouble appears to have worked.  He goes silent now, and re-emerges having left the creepy memes in the past.  Smart play.

Again, planning and strategy is one of the key elements of the Democrat party.  It might seem weird at first, but the DNC club is not chaotic; and that is their weakness. It makes them predictable.

The chosen-one would generally come into play immediately after the democrats have set down a larger trumpeted baseline. The chosen-one roll out would be designed to flow from the Club’s baseline political narrative. The Democrats rarely, if ever, go off script….

Knowing it’s likely the ♦UniParty DNC is following a similar ♦UniParty RNC strategy, we can start to put the personal characteristics and political traits together and contrast them against 2016. Here’s the way it looks so far:

  • Senator Ted Cruz was to 2016…. as Senator Elizabeth Warren is to 2020
  • ♦Governor Jeb Bush was to 2016 as….
  • Senator Marco Rubio was to 2016… as Mayor Pete Buttigieg is to 2020
  • Governor John Kasich was to 2016… as Senator Bernie Sanders is to 2020
  • Senator Lindsey Graham was to 2016 as… Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is to 2020
  • Governor Mike Huckabee was to 2016… as Senator Corey Booker is to 2020
  • Senator Rand Paul was to 2016…. as Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard is to 2020
  • Dr. Ben Carson was to 2016… as Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke is to 2020
  • Governor Chris Christie was to 2016 as… Governor J. Hickenlooper is to 2020
  • Governor Scott Walker was to 2016 as… Governor Jay Inslee is to 2020
  • Senator Rick Santorum was to 2016…. as Senator Sherrod Brown is to 2020
  • Governor George Pataki was to 2016 as…. Eric Swalwell is to 2020
  • Governor Rick Perry was to 2016…. as Senator Kamala Harris is to 2020
  • Governor Bobby Jindal was to 2016…. as Julian Castro is to 2020
  • Carly Fiorina was to 2016 as…. Senator Amy Klobuchar is to 2020
  • Governor Jim Gilmore was to 2016 as… Rep. Tim Ryan is to 2020

Reminder, despite their current stumbling with their executive suite efforts, anyone who is announcing their presidential bid ahead of Speaker Pelosi and the DNC delivering the election narrative (impeachment or similar) is not part of the DNC plan.

Pelosi and Club leadership will not easily give up on an impeachment plan that took months of effort.  They will work to modify it, shift angles of attack, adjust to Barr and yet still hope to retain the goal for as long as possible.  They don’t give up on these schemes easily….. As we saw admitted last weekend from Jerry Nadler, they are modifying their plans as each roadblock presents.

The “Chosen One” will likely surface during the April/May to June/July period when the legislative ‘impeachment‘ crew, the DNC crew and the media crew have been able to align the scheme for maximum political benefit.

We will most likely be able to identify the “Chosen One” by: (#1) the Pelosi narrative (when cemented) and everyone falls in line; and (#2) the “roll out” that accompanies the announcement. [ex. remember the Greek columns, trumpets, pomp, etc.?]

Once we get a few more names (approx. 16), and we discover the ‘Chosen Candidate’, we can start to have fun with the celebrity squares graphics and the top 16 contenders.

Democrats Pushing us to War?

Blog/Politics

Posted Apr 11, 2019 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Dear Mr. Armstrong,
Thank you for bringing attention to the geopolitical consequences of the Russia Hoax in your china-backing-russia-in-venezuela posting. I am a former engineer working on a military fiction novel involving China. While researching my book I saw troubling signs the Russian and Chinese governments reacting to this nonsense.

Instead of driving a wedge between these two powers as previous American administrations since Nixon had done, the ‘Russia, Russia, Russia’ hysteria tied the Trump administration’s hands while driving the Russians into a tighter partnership with China. A partnership in which the Chinese government is all too willing to take advantage. I would hope the Vostok 2018 military exercises woke someone in Washington, but I fear the long-term damage is already wrought.

With the loss on the INS treaty, hypersonic weapons coming online, and the soon expiration of the last START nuclear weapons agreement in 2010, I fear we are protruding head-long into Cold War 2.0. A more complex iteration with a powerful third player. You are one of the few whom I have seen recognize this consequence and I applaud your insight.

Best regards,

RW

REPLY: Yes, it is very disturbing. What the Democrats have done is really braindead. They have set us on a course toward creating world war instead of peace all just to win the White House in 2020 and even if they captured that, the Republicans will do the same to them. I really do fear that when we see a Democratic President, the rhetoric has been so intense against Russia, they will look like a traitor if they back down. Again, our War Cycle is not something I really wish was not pointing higher. A Democratic victory in the years ahead will be extremely dangerous because they have hyped this Russian nonsense way too fa

Number Twelve – Representative Tim Ryan Announces Presidential Bid….


Re-Posted from The Conservative House on April 6, 2019 by 

Representative Tim Ryan from Ohio has stepped into the race and kicked off his campaign with a speech in Youngstown Ohio earlier today.  “Flyover states are my states,” he proclaimed.

.

Ryan is not a viable candidate.  The larger Club objective with Tim Ryan is to assemble more data from voters in specific ‘rust-belt’ regions if they are going to try and thwart the Trump blue-collar coalition.

Much like the Club’s design for Joe Biden, the board members know they must fracture the rust-belt Trump alliance if they are to have any success in 2020.  Winning by one vote, or ten million votes in New York, Illinois or California doesn’t help win the electoral college.

This is the self-admitted weakness within the Bernie-Beto matrix. The club needs to win rust-belt states, not just more votes from coastal leftist areas.  [We can expect a full frontal attack, something massive, from the DNC Club toward Florida.  I suspect it involves fraud through Puerto Rico voter registration – where they had their meeting recently]

That said we are still not seeing the launch of the ‘chosen one‘, the intended party donor candidate; however, we have not entered the timeline most favorable for launch, April to May 2019.

The DNC is predictable; it’s a club.  Inside the club the board members are debating viability within a select team of unannounced potential candidates.  It appeared like Joe Biden held the most board member votes; however he’s having ‘creepy Joe’ trouble.

There is likely an elevated internal debate now.  Again, planning and strategy is one of the key elements of the Democrat party.  It might seem weird at first, but the DNC club is not chaotic; and, from my perspective, that is their weakness. It makes them predictable.

The chosen-one would generally come into play immediately after the democrats have set down a larger trumpeted baseline. The chosen-one roll out would be designed to flow from the club’s baseline narrative. The Democrats rarely, if ever, go off script….
