THis si what folk will quickly undersatnd one hopes.

Pollster and political strategist Pat Caddell, a mainstay of the “Political Insiders” roundtable on Fox Report Sunday, joined SiriusXM host Stephen K. Bannon on Thursday’s edition ofBreitbart News Daily to talk about the state of the Republican primary race and the hopes of the GOP establishment for an eventual nominee other than the current candidates running in Wisconsin.

Caddell didn’t like the intensity of the personal attacks between the Trump and Cruz camps, especially since the looming possibility of a brokered convention would make it difficult to unite the party for the general election under the best of circumstances.  Party unity after an ugly, personal brawl between Trump and Cruz will be even harder, especially if the Republican Establishment is still plotting to brush both of them aside, and insert an entirely different candidate after the first round of voting at the convention.(What sort of outcome would that be! Trump ad cruz together will have the vast majority of votes)

On that subject, Caddell speculated that many of the delegates Donald Trump has won during the state primary races have been set up as “faux delegates” who will abandon him after the first round of voting, possibly allowing the Party to introduce an entirely new candidate, such as current Speaker of the House and 2012 vice-presidential nominee 

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)56%.

Caddell said he believes the GOP Establishment is “using Cruz as a cats-paw.”

Look, you don’t really think that Jeb Bush, and Lindsay Graham, and some of those who have endorsed 

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)79%… you don’t really think they want Ted Cruz, do you?” Caddell asked.  “They’re using him to stop Trump.”

This strategy will face a crucial test in Wisconsin’s primary on Tuesday, where Caddell noted the generally reliable Marquette poll was showing “a huge surge for Cruz.”  He found such a surge believable, given that Governor Scott Walker and other potent political forces in the state have aligned behind the senator from Texas, while Trump has been “off-balance” in Wisconsin.

“I think the odds are the Trump is the decided underdog right now,” said Caddell, predicting that a big Cruz win in Wisconsin would make it “very difficult” for Trump to collect the 1,237 delegates he needs to win the first round of balloting at the Republican National Convention.  Also, a loss in Wisconsin will “energize” those who wish to block Trump from winning the nomination.

“It depends on how he recovers, and how the electorate that’s been pushing him recovers,” said Caddell.  “There’s a Quinnipiac poll out this morning that shows him with 56% of the vote in New York.  He’s never been higher than 30 in Wisconsin, but he’s going back to his home territory.  New Jersey is winner-take-all.  California is a big campaign.”

If Trump can’t recover and get the delegates he needs, Caddell thought Senator Cruz would likely find himself discarded after the first ballot at the convention, his usefulness to the Party bosses at an end.

If they can stop Trump, then Cruz will pick up some more on the second ballot… but I don’t think they’re gonna nominate him, he explained.  “I think they will then move to nominate, to try to nominate an Establishment figure, someone who hasn’t run.  I think that will blow the Republican Party up.”

Caddell said the GOP Establishment is “terrified of Trump,” and also opposed to Cruz, because “they are worried about their arrangements being broken up, their power.”  

He said these Establishment politicians would “absolutely” rather lose the 2016 election to Hillary Clinton than win with Trump or Cruz.  Conversely, the voters who have propelled Trump and Cruz to victory over a platoon of more Establishment-approved candidates are unlikely to “reconcile” themselves to an Establishment pick inserted at the Republican National Convention. (As I said months ago)

Go President Trump surprise these bozos yet again!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Note thsi oaks.Justa question who here supports who. Lets see who the establishment supporters are.

Political strategist Pat Caddell explains that both the Republican and Democratic political establishments are scheming to deny the will of their voters, by foisting unwanted nominees upon them.

Caddell tells Breitbart News Daily host Stephen K. Bannon that the Democrats’ turmoil is receiving less attention because the personality clashes are not as spectacular, the Democrat Party’s rules are more brutally effective at squelching insurgencies, and the media has little interest in writing stories about a Democrat civil war.

If we weren’t having what we’re having on the Republican side, the story would be the revolt on the Democratic side, and 

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)16% rising, and the rigged system for delegates, and all of that stuff,” he said.  I believe there’s a good chance that when the Establishment puts its foot down in the Democratic party, as they do with super-delegates, and Bernie Sanders falls, they make sure he’s not the nominee… his voters, the young voters in his base, they don’t want Hillary either.

The media’s involvement in the Republican gladiatorial spectacle has allowed Hillary Clinton to skate through some disastrous weeks of campaign news, in Caddell’s estimation.

If you think about the fact that Hillary Clinton, in the last couple of weeks, has, you know, threatened to get rid of all the coal miners, has said that nobody died in Libya, with her husband out saying the Obama legacy has failed, is a legacy of failure over the last eight years… and you have her in the trouble she’s in, the stuff that she’s saying about her servers and other things… they just give her a pass now.(BUT OF COURSE SHE IS IN THE POCKETS OF THE GLOBALISTS!!)

Caddell predicted the electorate will become enraged, and perhaps realign itself in some unprecedented ways, if both party establishments insist on running candidates who couldn’t win the support of voters in the primaries. (tRUMP WILL GO INDEPENDENT PICK UP BERNIES VOTERS AND WIN? START A NEW PARTY?)

“I’m telling you, there are going to be a lot of free-floating voters looking for something, and my greatest concern is that this is ‘The Empire Strikes Back.’ The country, from Left to Right… from 70 to 80 or more percent… look at Washington as the enemy, and they feel it’s a system that’s been rigged against them.  And now the economics of trade is a voting issue, all that stuff.  You deny these people, and this country… it’s not going to be pretty,” he warned.

YET ON THS IBOARD LOONIES LIKE OU ROOITWIT AND OU MAAAIKIE HAVE NOTHING GOOD TO SAY ABOUT TRUMP WHO IS FIGHTING THESE SELF INTEREDED ELITIST - RISKING LIFE AND FORTUNE. THEY DIS GUST ME!
