There are three obviously conservative shows left on Fox News, two of them are in the top three of the ratings for all networks. It would seem to me that if Fox News wants to keep those ratings, if is not moving in the right direction.<\/p>\n<p>The article at The Conservative Treehouse explains why the hiring of Danny O&#8217;Brien is important:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Danny O\u2019Brian now steps conveniently into the role of emissary between the Big Club and the DC political influencers, just as the Club prepares the landscape for Joe Biden.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>As we said, nothing the club does is organic.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Biden will have access to unlimited financial support from the multinational Wall Street community. However, Biden\u2019s weakness in 2020 is the same as Jeb\u2019s weakness in 2016, a lack of grassroots support. That\u2019s why Bernie and Beto are currently data-mining the electorate to gather up the contact info (data harvesting) for later Club deployment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Now things are coming into greater focus\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>2020 for the DNC club is shaping up identically as 2016 was for the RNC club. Again, not to beat a dead horse, but the clubs never change the playbook, only the portfolio cover.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>There\u2019s still a possibility Biden is not the DNC club\u2019s \u2018chosen one\u2019; but the odds of that are diminishing. We keep watching\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The swamp is planning on regaining and staying in power. The only thing that will stop it is educated voters who turn out in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The media likes to think they elect Presidents.
