A Matter of Trends, Numbers and Momentum

By Craig Andresen Right Side Patriots http://www.americanpbn.com/

Ted Cruz won two states in the March 5th showdowns. Donald Trump won two states in the March 5th showddel 1owns. Trump’s camp is happy to say they won as many states last Saturday as did Cruz but that doesn’t really tell the whole story, does it?

Cruz won 68 delegates last Saturday. Trump only won 53 delegates that night and that’s a lot more telling than the two to two tie isn’t it?

But even that doesn’t tell the full story.

Trump under-performed in Louisiana. In polls leading up to that state’s primary, Trump held a double digit lead. It was supposed to be an easy win for Trump and while he did win that state…he only beat Cruz by less than four points. It was close. It was a whole lot closer than Trump wanted it to be and a whole lot closer than Trump thought it would be.

Trump also won Kentucky, but in polls there, before the March 5th caucus, Trump also enjoyed a double digit lead over Ted Cruz by a margin of 35-15 according to RealClear Politics. That was a 20 point lead but on caucus night, Trump barely managed to win by 35.9 to Cruz’s 31.6…a difference of only 4.3 percent.

Interesting, but there’s more to be told before we can accurately see the big picture here.

Sour Grapes, False Accusations and Dubious Endorsements

By Craig Andresen – The National Patriot and Right Side Patriots on americanpbn.com

vote 1Well NOW, let’s take a few moments here to get a clear picture of the campaign for 2016…a snapshot…a moment in time, frozen so as to really take stock of the current situation.

Shall we?

Dr. Ben Carson is whining, Donald Trump is threatening law suits, Sanders is blubbering that Clinton isn’t enough of a socialist to deserve the liberal/socialist nomination, Clinton is doing her level best to ignore the mountains of evidence that will lead to her indictment, several candidates have dropped out of the race, others that should…haven’t and Jeb Bush’s donors…many of them…want their money back.

I’ve been to a three ring circus before and while this whole thing does bear some resemblance, I believe it comes closer to being a three ring FREAK show.

First of all…Dr. Ben Carson. Before the Ted Cruz campaign sent out an email, reporting exactly what had been delivered via CNN, you were polling in fourth place at 9% of the Iowa vote. WHILE that false report was out there…you were polling at 9% of the Iowa vote and AFTER it had been retracted but while the Cruz camp was still asking your supporters to caucus with Cruz…you FINISHED the night with 9.31% of the vote.

Please explain for everyone exactly how devastating the Cruz camp email was to your final tally.

Then there’s Donald Trump who is threatening to sue anybody he thinks is responsible for his second place finish in Iowa. He claims he’s going to sue Cruz because of the caucus night email. He’s going to sue Cruz for the prior week’s mailer. He’s going to sue Cruz for being born. Hell…I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if he threatens to sue Cruz because the rhyming campaign slogan…”Choose Cruz” comes across more positive than the rhyming slogan…”Dump Trump” does.

And now..

Romney Wins Tonight’s Debate by Showing Up

Tonight…The final debate.

Foreign policy.

How exactly will Obama defend his foreign policy?

We’re talking about a foreign policy which has garnered him the endorsements of Vladimir Putin…Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro.

Well, he killed bin Laden.

Killing bin Laden is NOT a foreign policy. It’s a military strategic strike…Unless of course Obama intends to drop the whole Seal Team Six thing and assert tonight that the raid was carried out by a bunch of pencil pushing diplomats who took the al Qaeda leader down with political correctness.

Of course, we know better don’t we?

Diplomatic political correctness doesn’t take out our enemies…Political correctness only gets OUR people killed.

No matter…Obama WILL try to make the case that killing bin Laden and other assorted terrorists IS a strong foreign policy and reason enough to reelect him.

No matter that he’s snubbed Prime Minister Netanyahu…Suggested TO Netanyahu that Israel return to their pre 1967 borders and that he’s told Sarkosy he doesn’t think much of dealing with the Prime Minister…

He killed bin Laden.

Obama’s foreign policy of appeasement has been a real success…

In Egypt, Obama started his world apology tour back in 2009 and invited the Muslim Brotherhood to be his special guests at the Cairo speech. Obama, back at the beginning of the Arab Spring, when the homicide bombers were starting to bloom…ummm…boom…and the smell of gunpowder filled the air, said Mubarak must go and, go he did. Obama said his special guests from the Cairo speech should have a seat at the table in forming a new Egyptian government. They did.

Obama said the Brotherhood would NOT run for office. They did anyway and NOW, the Muslim Brotherhood CONTROLS Egypt AND they want to shred the Israel/Egypt peace accord.

Well DONE…..

But…He killed bin Laden.

Iran?
