Trump to Run as Independent if Denied GOP Nomination? / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: Stephen_Lendman
National polls show him way out in front, up to 20 points over Cruz. You’d think he’d be unstoppable. Not if party bosses intend blocking him. More on this below.
America’s political system is deplorable, the best democracy money can buy, insiders deciding who’ll be president and fill key congressional posts, ordinary people having no say whatever.

Trump’s First 100 Days As President / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: Stephen_Lendman
Should a billionaire be entrusted to lead the country? Perhaps his only redeeming quality is he’d likely not start WW III.
Interviewed on April 2, he said he’d govern like he campaigns if elected president, a nontraditional Trumpian approach, he explained.
During the height of the Great Depression, Franklin Roosevelt’s first 100 days were historic, a unique post-electoral period. More on it below.

Why Putin Loves Donald Trump / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: Michael_T_Bucci
If you religiously devour world viewpoints you know that Russia loves Donald Trump, but might not know why it does.
Russia’s Fort Russ (fort-russ.com) thinks, “In the US they already noticed that the Kremlin is sympathetic towards Donald Trump: state media and members of the political leadership of Russia have given positive feedback of the eccentric scandalous billionaire and expressed hope that he will be the next President of the United States.“ [1]

How Low Will Donald Trump, Republican's Sink? / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: Walter_Brasch
Donald Trump, whose ego is larger than Trump Towers, called Sen. Marco Rubio “Little Rubio,” a derogatory reference to the Florida senator’s height.
Rubio responded by saying that Trump’s hands were too small for the size of his body. “And you know what they say about guys with small hands,” Rubio counterpunched, adding that Trump “doesn't sweat because his pores are clogged from the spray tan.” Trump, said Rubio, “isn't gonna make America great, he's gonna make America orange.” The pro-Rubio crowd in Salem, Va., loved it. Unfortunately, Rubio wouldn’t be able to zing Trump much more, dropping out of the race for the Republican nomination less than a month later.

Donald Trump will Make America “Great” (Again?) / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: Michael_T_Bucci
Donald Trump is going to make America “great again”. What is greatness?
Is greatness measured by money and armaments? If so, America is already great. It is the wealthiest country with the largest military in the world. If Mr. Trump wishes the country to be isolationist, he will need to withdraw or reduce 800 military bases in 80 countries and minimize the role of Wall Street in global markets.

Marc Faber Warns Trump May Destroy US Economy But Clinton Will Destroy the Whole World! / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: Bloomberg
Marc Faber, author of the Gloom, Boom & Doom Report, spoke with Mark Barton on Bloomberg Television about the economy and emerging markets.
Faber said the U.S. would not be a sound, well-run economy like Singapore "unless of course the U.S. is run by Mr. Trump. Then the U.S. will improve."
He added, “Given the alternatives, I would vote for Mr. Trump, because he may only destroy the U.S. economy, but Hillary Clinton will destroy the whole world.”

Presidents are Selected by Blood and Bankster's Clinton and Trump Distant Cousins? / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: BATR
In the previous essay, The CIA’s Presidents, the influence of the intelligence community in directing and controlling the office of the presidency is presented. But before the clandestine spooks developed their sway on policy and intrigue, the absolute power behind the throne, crowned their lineage selection with the full mashaḥ anointing from the Bankster tribe. The masses are not part of this universe. Their role is to bow down to the chief executive that has been picked for them to obey. The actual person is less important than keeping the line of authority in the family.

Money, Power and Oil. Exposing the Libyan Agenda: A Closer Look at Hillary’s Emails / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: Ellen_Brown
Critics have long questioned why violent intervention was necessary in Libya. Hillary Clinton’s recently published emails confirm that it was less about protecting the people from a dictator than about money, banking, and preventing African economic sovereignty.
The brief visit of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to Libya in October 2011 was referred to by the media as a “victory lap.” “We came, we saw, he died!” she crowed in a CBS video interview on hearing of the capture and brutal murder of Libyan leader Muammar el-Qaddafi.

American's Voting To Destroy The Establishment / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: James_Quinn
“I know that history is going to be dominated by an improbable event, I just don’t know what that event will be.” ― Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable
Nassim Taleb is a prickly arrogant SOB who doesn’t give a crap what intellectuals, academics, and other establishment elitists think about him. He has an Ivy league MBA, but despises everything about the curriculum of Ivy League MBA programs. He has a PhD, but scorns academics and their worship of theories and models. He enjoys poking holes in the storylines of the propaganda spewing corporate media. He glories in ridiculing the predictions of captured “experts” mouthing the talking points of whichever corporate interest is paying them blood money.

Donald Trump: You’re All Violent Communists Now! / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: Michael_T_Bucci
According to Donald Trump, as I understand it, Bernie Sanders is responsible for any violence that has or will occur at Trump rallies. Case closed? Bernie is a “Communist”; and his followers are “leftists” who “want to destroy this country!” Case closed?
If Sanders folk “don’t get it,” be forewarned: Trump is framing him and you!
To silver-hairs within the Trump legion who wear permanent frowns of repressed anger stoked by neo-conservative and “anti-government” propagandists on radio, cable news and the Internet, Bernie Sanders’ “socialism” - which arguably isn’t socialism - is now conflated with Communism – that “great evil empire” whose phantom Mr. Trump has resurrected to revive long-buried hates and fears within his aging McCarthyite and Cold War warriors.

The Reflex to Flee Donald Trump's America Might be "no drill"! / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: Michael_T_Bucci
If you are concerned about a Donald Trump presidency and have been suddenly struck with an impulse to leave America, you are not alone.
A website titled "Cape Breton if Donald Trump Wins" launched Feb. 16. Its front page splash read: "Hi Americans! Donald Trump may become the President of your country! If that happens, and you decide to get the hell out of there, might I suggest moving to Cape Breton Island!"

Republican Showdown Coming / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: Stephen_Lendman
Since entering the presidential race last June, Trump shook things up like no other US aspirant in memory - turning an otherwise dull political season into a memorable one, for better or worse.
Republican party bosses want anyone but him. So do media scoundrels, becoming anti-Trump cheerleaders, going all-out to undermine his campaign, another reason to avoid them altogether.

Donald Trump: A Problem Even for Conservatives / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: Walter_Brasch
The bully of the playground continued to be in the media spotlight and charging ahead to the Republican nomination for president.
In the 11th Republican debate, Donald Trump, bold and arrogant as always, kept up the attack against his three remaining opponents. To the man who once delighted in being called The Donald, Sen. Ted Cruz was “Lyin’ Ted,” a reference he made more than just a few times. However, several political fact checkers over the past three months have dismissed Trump’s claims as little more than half-truths, exaggerations, and lies. Politifacts, which checks candidate statements, revealed that about three-fifths of what Trump said during the campaign are incorrect. Among some of the errors Trump has made are that some of the families of the 9/11 suicide crews were in the U.S. prior to taking the lives of almost 3,000; that five detainees at Guantanamo Base, Cuba, whom Obama released were back on the battle field attacking Americans; that Mexico sent its citizens, especially criminals, into the U.S.; that the U.S., under the nuclear ban treaty with Iran, would be required to defend that nation if there was an attack by Israel; and that several polls show him ahead of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Several times over the past two decades, Trump has flip-flopped on issues, and then later claimed he hadn’t.

Super Tuesday Exit Polls Showed Voters Want Revolutionary Change / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: Stephen_Lendman
America’s dysfunctional political system is too corrupted to fix. Ordinary Americans understand.
Half the electorate usually ops out, refusing to vote when no choices exist, no one for high office representing them.
Governance at all levels is unresponsive to their rights and needs. People want revolutionary change, yet remain unwilling to get actively involved.

Hillary Clinton Loves Goldman Sachs / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: Stephen_Lendman
It’s hard imagining a more despicable candidate for any public office, unthinkable for the nation’s highest.
Her presidency, if elected, assures endless wars of aggression, possible confrontation with Russia and China, letting Wall Street, other corporate bandits and war-profiteers continue looting the nation’s wealth, as well as likely advancing tyranny to full-blown, stripping the mask entirely off constitutional governance.

U.S. Presidential Campaign Political Marketing, Big Data and Google's Hillary / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: Michael_T_Bucci
In the fledgling days of advertising over a century ago, legendary department store merchant John Wanamaker, an early proponent of the power of advertising, complained: "Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don't know which half."
It has been the goal of marketing and advertising chiefs ever since to answer his question.
More than $5 billion may be spent by presidential candidates and their supporters for the the 2016 race according to The Hill (thehill.com), which is double the tally for 2012. While much money will be spent on salaries, wages, fees and expenses for campaign workers, Kantar Media estimates that for all races political ad spending on TV will total $4.4 billion for the 2016 election cycle, and that another $1 billion will be spent on online ads.

Ego and the U.S. Presidential Primaries / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: Walter_Brasch
Like millions of Americans in the middle of February I have the flu.
Unlike millions of Americans I have a deadline.
Forced to stay at home, sucking Vitamin C drops, I have read newspapers, listened to radio, and watched television as a source of diversion.
Dominating the media is the campaign for the presidency.

U.S. Presidential Primaries - That’s All I Can Stands, I Can’t Stands No More / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: Raul_I_Meijer
A week after the New Hampshire Presidential Primaries, what lessons, if any, can we take from the dramatic victories of two outsider candidates? Former New Hampshire resident and occasional Automatic Earth contributor Nelson Lebo weighs in.
Note: Nelson writes below that “Trumpification is a clear and present danger” for writers like me “who rely on the best available data, statistics, facts”. But so far I find Trump mostly amusing, and an excellent indicator of what America has come to. And there’s little he can do to make representation of the facts in the media even worse than it is. Turns out, it didn’t take Trump to Trumpify the media. It might well be the other way around, that the Dumbification of the press paved the way for Da Donald. Here’s Nelson Lebo III:

U.S. Presidential Campaign Slogans and Make Believe - ranking the best and the worst / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: Michael_T_Bucci
It is common understanding that the phrase "seeing is believing" means "I won't believe something until I see it." I won't believe that ghosts or UFOs exist until I actually see one and only then if I've exhausted all other possible explanations.
When the adage "seeing is believing" is turned upside down, i.e., "believing is seeing". It means we often project onto an object, person or event a preconceived notion rather than see it for what it is.
