Busted ! CNN Uses Jeb Bush Staffer Planted In Audience To Frame Donald Trump Narrative/Hit Job….
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 10-13-2015 | sundance

Posted on 10/13/2015 12:40:11 AM PDT by sheikdetailfeather

During an appearance at a Jon Huntsman “No Labels” event, a female audience member named Lauren Batchelder played the role of a female antagonist toward candidate Donald Trump. ADVERTISEMENT

However, Ms. Batchelder is not just an average audience member. She’s a paid political operative of the GOP and a paid staff member of Team Jeb Bush:

NH 6

Within minutes of her scripted performance at the event, the producers of CNN were quickly editing soundbites and framing a narrative. That story was pushed into the media stream within hours. CNN’s Jeanne Moos was the delivery vehicle for the a hit piece.

Was this the “I don’t feel like you’re a friend to women” inquisitor?

Just another reason for us all to turn against Jeb Bush and the GOP establishment.... As if we needed anymore reasons.

From your link, about Mark McKinnon/No Labels....

......The moment McKinnon realized something needed to change was during a State of the Union address.

“There was a moment for me when President Obama was giving a State of the Union speech and a member of Congress yelled out at him, ‘liar’. And I just said, wow. That was too much for me,” McKinnon said. “The system has evolved to a point where it rewards bad behavior and punishes good behavior.”

I love that tippy toes GIF. Thanks for putting it up. I think even CNN will play it if the idiot gets nominated. What a great stunt in a room with 10,000 cameras. W is a brain surgeon compared to his brother.

I know that I’m supposed to vote for whatever John McCain, Bob Dole, Jeb Bush loser the MSM picks for me but I just can’t do it.

From link....

However, it is also further evidence of the entire construct of the Jeb Bush alliance. There are eight candidates remaining in the race specifically to assist Jeb Bush and help him win the nomination. They are:

Marco Rubio (FL)
Carly Fiorina (VA)
Chris Christie (NJ)
John Kasich (OH)
Lindsey Graham (SC)
Mike Huckabee (AR)
George Pataki (NY)
Jim Gilmore (VA)

... McKinnon said. "The system has evolved to a point where it rewards bad behavior ...
An epiphany for McKinnon. It set him off in a direction of bad beahvior, and no doubt he is getting his earthly reward.

From wiki....

Mark McKinnon (born May 5, 1955) is an American political advisor. He is Global Vice-Chairman of Hill & Knowlton Strategies, an international communications consultancy, and the President of Maverick Media. He is a co-founder of No Labels and also is on the Board of Advisors of Americans Elect. McKinnon switched from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party after meeting then Texas Governor George W. Bush. He has worked for many causes, companies and candidates, including former President George W. Bush, 2008 Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain, late former Governor Ann Richards, Congressman Charlie Wilson, Lance Armstrong and Bono.[1]

McKinnon and Julian Castro, HUD Secretary, serve as co-chairs of Southerners for the Freedom to Marry.[2] In 2014, McKinnon launched Mayday PAC to force ethics reform in the United States Congress, along with Harvard Law Professor Larry Lessig and tech moguls Steve Wozniak, Fred Wilson, Peter Thiel; and Reid Hoffman. McKinnon serves as the board treasurer.[3]

Conservative Treehouse just tweeted out this comment from someone who read about this dirty trick on their website:

“jello333 says:
October 13, 2015 at 3:41 am

I’m going down to the county clerk’s office tomorrow to find out how I go about changing my party affiliation… well, actually my wife and I both. Not totally sure if it’s required here (Illinois) but I’m gonna check.

Been in the Dem party since both of us were old enough to vote. And while it’s a fact that I’m ashamed of what the Dem party has proven itself to be since at least 2008, that’s not the main reason I’m switching. After all, I think the Rep party is every bit as scummy as the Dems, and on those very rare occasions when I DO support a given politician, it’s usually a Dem. So nope… my only reason for switching (as opposed to just dropping ALL party affiliation) is a guy named Donald Trump.

We want to be able to do whatever we can to help him, come primary day. And the more the MSM status quo pols (of both parties) try to pull this garbage on Trump, the stronger my support for him becomes. And I highly doubt I’m alone in that feeling. So CONGRATS Trump-haters… you’re just making Donald’s support all that much broader and stronger!”

This election cycle is like none in my lifetime. Alliances that no one would have believed are happening.
