Politico: The Reagan’s Were ‘Insurgents’ Against the GOP Establishment

Nancy Reagan never would have considered herself part of the Washington “establishment.” For one thing, she hadn’t lived in this town in decades. More importantly, she had a constituency of one: her beloved husband. And if the DC establishment didn’t like it (they often didn’t) that was too damn bad.
Still it’s hard to miss the symbolism of Mrs. Reagan’s passing—she died Sunday at age 94—coinciding with the final collapse of the Republican ruling class as GOP voters over the weekend anointed one of two antiestablishment outsiders, Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), as their likely new standard bearer. With her death and the eclipsing of the GOP establishment, there is a palpable sense that something in the Grand Old Party—to which Nancy and Ronald Reagan devoted decades of their lives—has been lost forever.
There is more than a little irony to that outcome. Through the last decades of her life, Nancy Reagan tenderly kept her husband’s legacy alive, and his presidency became the altar upon which every GOP aspirant to the White House pledged fealty. But it didn’t play out that way when she actually was in the White House.
Amid the many well-deserved tributes to the former First Lady, it does no injustice to Mrs. Reagan’s memory to recall that she was an unpopular figure in Washington. To the contrary such an acknowledgment puts her accomplishments in proper perspective.
Indeed, the Reagans arrived in Washington in the winter of 1981 as insurgents themselves. A number of Republican leaders had worked against Reagan’s nomination, preferring predictable moderates like George H. W. Bush or seasoned political tacticians such as Senators Howard Baker or Bob Dole. The California governor was an outspoken outsider who preferred a good horse, cowboy hats, and denim to the meaningless blather of DC salons. He said impolitic things like Washington was the problem. Many, including the man he defeated, Jimmy Carter, intimated that he might start a nuclear war.

-          Secretary of State William Galvin said more than 16,300 Democrats have shed their party affiliation and become independent voters since Jan. 1, while nearly 3,500 more shifted to the Mass GOP ahead of tomorrow’s “Super Tuesday” presidential primary.
-          Confidential polling data shows Hillary Clinton could lose the presidential election in heavily Democratic New York to Donald Trump as the GOP front-runner’s support grows to the point of being “surprisingly strong,” The Post has learned.
-          Jane Fonda

a.       It’s terrible and it’s dangerous,” Fonda said of the Trump’s candidacy two days ahead of the New Hampshire primary.
b.      “Even if he doesn’t make it which I don’t think he will, the fact that he’s said the things he’s said about Muslims for example, the damage has been done,” Fonda said. “All those young Muslims now can say, ‘Yeah I guess they really are waging a war against us.’” “It will draw them closer to the terrorists. I think it’s really, really dangerous,”

a.       “Trump was right to skip CPAC. The votes are in Kansas not Washington. Why give the anti-trump activists a target,” Gingrich said in a tweet earlier today. Ted won the straw poll.

c.       The twist here is that Stand for Truth has accepted more than $1 million in donations from corporations or limited liability companies, whose funders are difficult to uncover, meaning the original source of the campaign cash is hidden. While corporations can make donations to super PACs, an LLC allows individual donors to steer cash through easy-to-register, self-owned organizations.

-          TEXAS - A federal judge signed an order on Friday that denied a preliminary injunction in a lawsuit filed by citizens of Mexico and several Central American nations claiming entitlement to birth certificates for their children born in the United States. They sued the Vital Statistics Unit of the Texas Department of State Health Services saying the agency denied them the certificates because they did not possess the required identification.
-          As reported by Breitbart Texas in July, the parent plaintiffs of the 23 children claimed that the state of Texas violated their children’s rights because the Fourteenth Amendment provides that any child born on U.S. soil is an American citizen as well as a citizen of the state where they reside. The plaintiffs and their children reside in Texas.
a.       The Office of the Texas Attorney General represented the state in the lawsuit. In a statement obtained by Breitbart Texas, Attorney General Ken Paxton said, “Today’s ruling is an important first step in insuring the integrity of birth certificates and personal identity information. Before issuing any official documents, it’s important for the state to have a way to accurately verify people are who they say they are through reliable identification mechanisms. We will continue defending DSHS’s policy on safeguarding Texans’ most sensitive information and vital documents.”

-          FBI Indicts Hillary –
a.        Hillary Clinton is about to be served an indictment by the the FBI as part of it’s ongoing investigation into her email scandal, according to Judge Andrew Napolitano, which would bring her presidential campaign to a massive halt. Bryan Pagliano is the Clinton IT staffer who was responsible for setting up Hillary’s private email server and he was just granted immunity in exchange for his testimony.
b.      Fox News sat down with Judge Andrew Napolitano and he explained the situation perfectly. “This is enough to shake the American political system to its foundation.”Napolitano said. Napolitano explained the fact that the FBI has pushed for and has been granted immunity for Pagliano tells us that the Department of Justice is heavily involved, much more than originally indicated. Immunity is usually only granted if a witness has information that would implicate themselves during a testimony. Napolitano went on to explain the fact that Pagliano being granted immunity indicates the DOJ has most likely already convened a Grand Jury, which would only lead you to believe the FBI has enough evidence to indict Hillary Clinton and more toward a criminal trial.

Total firearm-related deaths are eight times higher in the U.S. than in economic counterparts in other parts of the world, like Canada, England and France) –

h.       #15: Complications of medical and surgical care
Odds of dying: 1 in 1,523 (According to the National Hospital Discharge Survey, 45 million surgeries were performed in 2007, so it's a good thing that only 1 in 1,523 people will die from medical or surgical complications. You are more than twice as likely to die from complications of medical and surgical care than in an ATV or off-road vehicle accident; the largest gap in odds on this list.)
i.         #13: Accidental drowning and submersion

America is the gun violence capital of the world. According to FBI crime statistics, there were 9,146 murders by firearm in 2009. Like death by accidental gun discharge, death rates for assault by firearm in the U.S. are also disproportionate to similar countries. It has the highest rate of firearm deaths among 25 high-income nations and more disturbingly, the overall firearm-related death rate among U.S. children under age 15 is 12 times higher than the death rates of these 25 high-income nations combined.

In 2008, 22,631 Americans died from unintentional falls, which equates to 7.5 people per 100,000.
n.      #5: Intentional self harm
Odds of dying: 1 in 115
A person died from committing suicide every 15 minutes in the U.S. in 2007, the most recent year for which data was available.
o.      #4: All types of land vehicle accidents
Odds of dying: 1 in 85
This category is similar to car and ATV accidents; it simply combines death rates from ATV and off-road vehicle accidents (#16), motorcycle accidents (#12), car accidents (#8) and any other type of land vehicles, like tractors, tanks and go-karts.
