Congratulations to Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump on their unconventional wins in the New Hampshire Primary which proves the appeal of the “Non Politician” in politics.  Yet make no mistake these “Non Politicians” are playing a very smart political game that includes the following pieces (below).  If someone doesn’t catch on to this game they soon will have checkmate for both their party nominations.

PROMISE THE WORLD- Worry about the specifications (costs, separation of powers, constitution) later.  SOLUTION- Opponents bring up specifications without attacking “Non Politicians” and how those specifications hurt the people.

FIGHT FOR PEOPLE AGAINST- Make sure that the public knows that you’re fighting for them against some people evil power that has been controlling their life’s.  SOLUTION – Show how they are still part of the “corrupt force” that they are going against without getting personal”. This can be done with a complement in advance

DON’T APOLOGIZE- Never back down from a statement no matter the ground swell. You can rephrase as you go along but don’t back down.  SOLUTION- Go back to the original statement and offer a positive alternative.

Last night was a tough night for any Marco Rubio fan but today the sun is shining and with a few tweaks (below) I can still Pennsylvania Avenue though it might farther away then the night before. Sometimes a good loss can help you make the changes you need better then a bad win. G-D willing this is the case.

CHANGE THE NARRATIVE- It’s time to hit as many airwaves as possible with a new bold proposal on a human issue such as drug abuse, mental health treatment, inner city blight etc..  Where-ever possible ad a quick personal story.

GET AHEAD OF A STORY-  Make sure a senior staff follows all major and minor news outlets stories on you and has an immediate positive response that counters the argument and again changes the narrative.

ATTACK WITHOUT NAMES- Speak about how difficult it would be for you to decide to build a skyscraper when you don’t know how to read blue prints? How hard it’s to lead a group of people when you’ve never sat near them?

PERSONAL RESUME- Don’t Christie people but tell about your accomplishments in the Florida Senate with interesting tid bits about how bills that you were involved in happen to change life’s for the better. Tell more personal stories about growing up and the struggles that occurred along the way not to make you appear better then the rest but understand better then others in the race.

PROFESSIONAL GRASSROOTS- Spend more monies on the grassroots looking into tel-marketing firms to handle calls, outside sales people to lead door knocking, and exciting unique (but not expensive) promotional give-ways to volunteers who achieve certain goals.

BE POSITIVE BUT REALISTIC- Say when things go wrong before anyone else does but see that as a way to get better and stronger.

Chris Christie is the Republican Killer not literally but politically.  From his hugs and kisses of President Obama just before the election  to his destruction of the New Hampshire Primary, Chris Christie needs to go home … now!    His insidious and continuous attack on Marco Rubio only helped Donald Trump who will have the most difficult time defeating the Democratic nominee of any other candidates. While John Kasiach might come in 2nd in New Hampshire it is quite unlikely that he will have the resources financially or through other means to continue the fight much longer.  That leaves Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz to continue the fight but they have many wounds already.  Chris Christie your prosecuting ways have hurt the party … again.
