Donald Trump is leading Ted Cruz by a whopping 34 percentage points — 54%-20% — among likely Republican voters in California, a SurveyUSA poll for KUSA found.
That’s a significant gain for the Republican frontrunner, whose lead was only 8 percentage points in the last SurveyUSA poll a month ago. And it’s a significant loss for Cruz. The two were 40%-32% last month.
California, which holds its primary June 7, is the most delegate-rich state on the Republican primary calendar with 172 at stake for GOP hopefuls.
That makes Indiana, which will award 57 delegates after its primary Tuesday, all that much more important for Cruz if he wants to stop Trump from reaching the 1,237 delegates he needs to clinch the nomination. In the most recent poll, though, he is trailing by 15 percentage points in the Hoosier State.
On the Democratic side, the SurveyUSA poll gives Hillary Clinton a 57%-38% lead over Bernie Sanders in California. In general election match-ups, she beats Trump 56%-34% and Cruz 57%-29%. California has not sided with a Republican for president since George H.W. Bush in 1988.
SurveyUSA polled 2,011 registered voters in California from April 27 to April 30.
a.Thanks to the candidacy of Donald Trump the
financial intersection of money and political opinion, as guided by the
monetary motives therein, has brought some amazing revelations to the surface. These
financial/media relationships have largely, and historically, remained
hidden. They have damned sure never been publicly, clearly, and
regularly stated so the consuming audience would know the presentation was
fraught with financial conflict.
b.♦ The Senate Conservatives Fund
(PAC) purchasing massive quantities ($400,000) of Mark Levin’s books in
exchange for favorable candidacy political opinion.Conveniently Hidden by the radio host who
avoids mentioning the financial conflict created.
c.
d.Then again, Levin never informed his audience of
his family working within the Staff of Senator Ted Cruz either.Does Levin’s endorsement, when contrast
against the crony-constitutional advocacy, clarify with a little sunlight?You decide.
e.
f.♦ Or how about the Breitbart
Media enterprise being run via an $11 million purchase from Billionaire Robert
Mercer, who also funded Ted Cruz’s Super-PAC “Keep The Promise 1”, to the tune
of $10 million.Little overlooked facts,
never openly shared for news consumers to determine source motive.Pesky Sunlight
g.
h.♦ Maybe the Ben Shapiro website
“The Daily Wire“, being funded by the billionaire Wilks Brothers, Levi and
Farris, in Texas.Who also fund Ted Cruz
and his Super-PAC “Keep The Promise”.Shapiro never publicly disclosed the financial/content conflict, or the
extent therein.Could Shapiro support
any other candidate other than who his content owners approved of?Again, you decide.(Yep, Pesky Sunlight)
i.Glenn Beck Defamation Lawsuit???
j.♦ The Chairman of Glenn Beck’s
Mercury One charity, David Barton, jointly running the Pro-Ted Cruz
Super-PAC“Keep The Promise”; also never put into the sunlight by Glenn Beck or
his various media enterprises so the consuming audience could filter presented
political opinion through the filter of fiduciary connections.More Pesky Sunlight
k.These are just a few of the politically
motivated – financially dependent – revelations we probably would never have
known about were it not for Donald Trump presenting a genuinely conservative
America-First platform; and as a direct consequence, the
faux-constitutionalists having to reverse opinion simply to retain income.
l.
m.♦ So it perhaps shouldn’t come
as a surprise to find out that Erick Erickson’s media venture “The Resurgent“,
is taking Super-PAC money from the (formerly Scott Walker advocates and
financial backers) Ricketts family of Wisconsin who fund OUR PRINCIPLES PAC to
the tune of $3,000,000 in February alone

2.Obama
-The Havana Tribune, a
state-controlled Cuban newspaper,
a.has added
insult to injury following Fidel Castro’s scathing criticism of President
Barack Obama upon his departure from the island. In an editorial, the title of
which refers to President Obama as “negro,” an opinion columnist has accused
him of “inciting rebellion.”
b.The article is titled “Negro, ¿Tu Eres Sueco?”
which roughly translates to “Black Man, Are You Dumb?” (The idiom “pretend to
be a Swede” means to play dumb, hence the title is literally asking, “Are you
Swedish?”) The author, who is black, goes on to condemn President Obama for
meeting with Cuban pro-democracy activists and “subtly” suggesting that the
Cuban Revolution needed to change. “Obama came, saw, but unfortunately, with
the pretend gesture of lending a hand, tried to conquer,” Elias ArgudÃn writes.
c.“[Obama] chose to criticize and subtly suggest …
incitations to rebellion and disorder, without caring that he was on foreign
ground. Without a doubt, Obama overplayed his hand,” he continues. “The least I
can say is, Virulo-style: ‘Negro, are you dumb?'”
WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney charged into the increasingly divisive 2016 GOP White House sweepstakes Thursday with a harsh takedown of front-runner Donald Trump, calling him a "phony" and exhorting fellow Republicans to shun him for the good of the country and party.
"His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University," Romney said in a speech readied for delivery to a University of Utah audience.
In turning up the rhetoric, Romney cast his lot with a growing chorus of anxious Republican leaders — people many Trump supporters view as establishment figures — in trying to slow the New York real estate mogul's momentum.
"Here's what I know: Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud," Romney said in his talk, set for delivery later Thursday.
Trump, in turn, disparaged Romney in a series of tweets: "I am not a Mitt Romney, who doesn't know how to win," ''Romney, who ran one of the worst races in presidential history, is working with the establishment to bury a big 'R' win!" and Romney is "not a good messenger" to be telling Republicans how to get elected.
Romney has been chipping away at Trump in recent days, but the speech Thursday was certain to be his most forceful statement yet. Trump has responded to Romney by saying the former Massachusetts governor was a failed candidate in his own right.
Panicked GOP leaders say they still have options for preventing the billionaire from winning the GOP nomination — just not many good ones.
Romney also declares that a Trump nomination at the party's convention in Cleveland in July would enable Democrat Hillary Clinton to win the presidency, according to excerpts of his speech obtained by The Associated Press.
He charged that Trump "has neither the temperament nor the judgment to be president."
In a phone-in interview Thursday with "Good Morning America," Trump scoffed at Romney's charges and declared that "I've brought millions and millions of people ..into the Republican Party."
"The Republican establishment is going to give it all back," he added.
Romney's involvement comes as party elites pore over complicated delegate math, outlining hazy scenarios for a contested convention and even flirting with the long-shot prospect of a third party option.
The 2012 Republican nominee's speech marks his most aggressive step into the 2016 contest to date, but it was unclear what impact his words would have with voters deeply frustrated by their party's leaders.
Trump, meanwhile, was setting his sights on the general election. His campaign reached out to House Speaker Paul Ryan's office to arrange a conversation between the two men, and urged Republican leaders to view his candidacy as a chance to expand the party.
Trump padded his lead with victories in seven Super Tuesday contests, with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz claiming three states and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio picking up his first victory of the 2016 race.
Despite Trump's strong night, he was not yet on track to claim the nomination before the party's national gathering in July, according to an Associated Press delegate count. He has won 46 percent of the delegates awarded so far, and he would have to increase that to 51 percent in the remaining primaries.
GOP strategists cast March 15 as the last opportunity to stop Trump through the normal path of winning states and collecting delegates. A win for Rubio in his home state of Florida would raise questions about Trump's strength, as could a win for Kasich, Ohio's governor, on his home turf.
The candidates have a high-profile opportunity to make their case to voters in Thursday night's prime-time debate. Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson all but ended his bid Wednesday, saying he would skip the debate and declaring he did "not see a political path forward."
The GOP mayhem contrasted sharply with a clearer picture on the Democratic side, where Hillary Clinton was drawing broad support from voters and her party's leaders. Rival Sen. Bernie Sanders vowed to keep up the fight, though his path to the nomination has become exceedingly narrow.
Romney argues that Trump's "domestic policies would lead to recession. His foreign policies would make America and the world less safe," Romney says. "And his personal qualities would mean that America would cease to be a shining city on a hill."
The Associated Press has asked Republican governors and senators if they would support Trump if he becomes the party's nominee. Of the 59 respondents, slightly fewer than half could not commit to backing him in November.
One long-shot idea rumbling through power corridors in Washington was the prospect of a late third-party candidate to represent more mainstream conservatives. Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry has been approached by "a mixture of people" about being part of a third-party bid, according to Jeff Miller, who managed Perry's failed GOP presidential campaign. But Miller said Perry found the idea "ludicrous."
A more likely, though still extraordinarily unusual, scenario being discussed is a contested convention.

A Quinnipiac poll released Friday shows that Republican frontrunner Donald Trump still holds a national lead over his GOP rivals. Trump earns 31% support, a +9 point lead over second place Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) (22%). Pulling into third is Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) with 19%. Everyone else is at 6% and below. There is little love for the governors — Jeb Bush, John Kasich and Chris Christie — who are all tied up at 3%.
In this particular poll, since the middle of December, Trump has picked up +3 points. Cruz has lost -2 points. Rubio has surged +7. Ben Carson lost -4, dropping from 10% to just 6%. Christie lost half his support, dropping -3 points, from 6% to just 3%.
The good news for Trump is that he went from being just +4 points ahead of second place Cruz in December to now being +9 points up.
In the Real Clear Politics poll of polls, Trump leads his GOP rivals by +12.5%.
Florida governor Jeb Bush received 5,165 votes in Iowa. His vote total constitutes 2.8 percent of the Republican turnout, placing him in sixth place in the Iowa caucus.
Yet no candidate in either party spent more in the race than Bush.
According to MSNBC, Bush spent $14.9 million in Iowa, all coming from Bush's super PAC. (In fact, if one were to consider national ads and money from the campaign, the total would be significantly more.)
That means, the once Republican frontrunner spent $2,884 per Iowa vote.

3.Obam3.
-(CNSNews.com) - The debt of the federal
government increased by $8,314,529,850,339.07 in President Barack Obama’s first
seven years in office, according to official data published by the U.S.
Treasury.
a.That equals $70,612.91 in net federal borrowing
for each of the 117,480,000 households that the Census Bureau estimates were in
the United States as of September.
b.During President George W. Bush’s eight years in
office, the federal debt increased by $4,899,100,310,608.44, according to the
Treasury. That equaled $44,104.65 in net federal borrowing for each of the
111,079,000 households that, according to the Census Bureau, were in the
country as of Jan. 20, 2009, the day that Bush left office and Obama assumed
it.
