This is a collaboration between the Republican establishment and the media to make sure a non-establishment candidate does not win the Republican nomination. The media would like Hillary Clinton to win the presidency, but a lot of Americans are not necessarily following the media in this plan.<\/p>\n<p>Note that <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Carly Fiorina\" href=\"http:\/\/www.carlyfiorina.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"homepage\">Carly Fiorina<\/a> is not on the stage and the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"John Kasich\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/John_Kasich\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">John Kasich<\/a> is. The only voting that has taken place in this election cycle has been in <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Iowa\" href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?ll=42.0,-93.0&amp;spn=3.0,3.0&amp;q=42.0,-93.0 (Iowa)&amp;t=h\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"geolocation\">Iowa<\/a>, where Carly Fiorina got more votes than John Kasich. Since that number represents actual votes, rather than inaccurate polls, I believe the people on the stage tonight were not chosen fairly. The establishment candidate is on the stage; the non-establishment candidate is not. Admittedly, the difference in the number of votes is small, but the fact remains that Carly Fiorina got more votes than John Kasich.<\/p>\n<p>To add insult to injury, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/big-government\/2016\/02\/06\/martha-raddatz\/\" target=\"_blank\">Breitbart.com<\/a> has posted an article today about one of the moderators of the Republican debate. <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Martha Raddatz\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Martha_Raddatz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Martha Raddatz<\/a> is married to a <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Harvard Law School\" href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?ll=42.3779722222,-71.1185&amp;spn=0.01,0.01&amp;q=42.3779722222,-71.1185 (Harvard%20Law%20School)&amp;t=h\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"geolocation\">Harvard Law School<\/a> classmate of <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Barack Obama\" href=\"http:\/\/www.barackobama.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"homepage\">Barack Obama<\/a>.
