Brian Mudd Predicts Election Results at Abacoa
With his catchphrase “Passion plus talent is unstoppable”, WJNO’s co-host for the Morning Rush (5am-9pm) Brian Mudd, explained some of his election modeling work to an engaged crowd at Abacoa on Monday.
Brian Mudd
In our history, Presidential elections have followed a predictable pattern based on three conditions.
First, no Democrat President other than Harry Truman (who as Vice President succeeded after the death of Roosevelt) has ever been elected to follow a 2-term Democrat President. Advantage: Republicans.
Second, no President succeeded another of the same party who had less than a 54% approval rating. With Obama currently at 48%, advantage: Republicans.
Third, no President succeeded another of the same party when the “right track / wrong track” polling was less than 50%. With it currently standing at 28% right track, 65% wrong track – again advantage Republicans.
Taking these three indicators into account, Brian confidently predicts a Republican win, all things being equal. That said, there are still some wild cards this year. Clinton could be indicted, the Republicans could self destruct, etc. In general though, people vote their wallet and since the recession hasn’t really ended for many Americans, it does not bode well for the party in power.
Taking a range of questions from the audience, Brian also discussed convention politics, economic growth, possible actions by the FED, and the so-called “Trump Bubble” (Mr. Trump’s prediction of coming recession and risks in the stock market).
Lauren Konkol
A second speaker for the evening was Lauren Konkol, a millennial activist who describes some of her activities as “integrating the gospel in the public square.” Formerly associated with Turning Point, USA, the student activist organization that recruits college students into the conservative fold, Lauren spoke of some of her projects to fight apathy among her age group. With the theme “the good is the enemy of the great”, she explained how millennials can feel marginalized but will follow a political ideology that speaks to their needs and interests, and that her “generation is not one that can be stopped.” Lauren has plans to run for the Florida House.
Candidates present at the meeting included Carl Domino and Rebecca Negron (CD18), and Alex Freeman (Sheriff).
If you missed Brian Mudd at this meeting, you can catch him in Wellington on April 6.

Brian Mudd
On-Air Weekday Mornings 5am-9am WJNO Financial Analyst & Co-Host for The Palm Beaches’ Morning Rush. I work every day to keep you ahead of the curve on the crazy state of the economy, business, investments and technology.
My motto: Passion plus talent is unstoppable.
My faith: Don’t worry I don’t use the mic to preach but… I firmly believe that without God in our lives happiness will never be found. I believe that many of our societal failures have resulted from a general willingness to distance ourselves from our founding values while embracing political correctness.
I’m in my 18th year with iHeartMedia and 9th in South Florida. With my father as inspiration, I started investing in the stock market when I was 11 and co-founded a smoothie company at 18. The highlights of my radio career have been serving as a fill-in for Sean Hannity.
I’ve made my share of mistakes along the way as well. I shape my perspective from success and failure to provide you with a truly objective picture of business and money in your world. Business and investing are passions of mine. Some read Dean Koontz… I read financial reports.
I’m originally from the Atlanta area and am a die hard Braves & Falcons fan. I’m married to the love of my life Ashley, and yes I am related to Dr. Samuel Mudd, co-conspirator in the assassination of President Lincoln (he’s four greats an uncle).
My name is Mudd.

Marsh, Golub and lots of candidates highlight Abacoa Meeting
On his third tea party appearance (see: Cade Marsh – the Face of Tomorrow’s Republican), Young Republican organizer Cade Marsh told us of the appeal of a “new conservative movement” to millennials who are not attracted to the conventional party structures. Involved in campus voter registration drives, he spoke of pressuring supervisors of election to place voting locations on college campuses and how students have the option of registering using their on-campus address.
Cade is a junior at Palm Beach Atlantic University in pre-Law and Business Administration and currently Executive Director of the Florida Federation of College Republicans. Check out Cade’s group at ffcr.org.
Political humorist Eric Golub, author of several satirical works including “Ideological Bigotry” “Ideological Idiocy” and others, calls himself “the younger version of Mort Sahl”. Offering advice on how to counter liberal disdain he offers these steps: Offer a compromise on gun control – take all the guns from the liberals and give them to us. Offer a compromise on abortion – develop a test for liberals while they are still in the womb. Trump may want to temporarily ban Muslims from immigrating, but Obama got 250K of them killed in Syria by ignoring his red line. Trump may want to block Mexican immigrants, but Obama got 200 of them killed with Fast & Furious.
Declining to reveal his choice for President he offered good words for the three frontrunners: Rubio has Reagan’s upbeat vision and is good with crowds. Depend on Cruz to do the right thing when a decision lands on his desk. Trump will deck Clinton like none of the others would.
Follow Eric on his blog, The Tygrrrr Express.
Next Tuesday’s elections brought Gardens Council candidates David Levy and Carl Woods to the event, and we heard from supporters of Ted Cruz and Donald Trump. Then looking ahead to the August 30 primary, Republican candidates for CD18 Carl Domino, Rick Roth, Brian Mast and Rebecca Negron made appearances, as did Independent Carla Spalding.

Eric Golub has been a stockbrokerage professional since 1994. He began writing on March 11th, 2007, the three-year anniversary of the Madrid bombings and the midpoint of 9/11. He has been inflicting his worldview on his readers since then. He writes about politics Monday through Friday, and about football and other human interest items on weekends.
His site is the “Tygrrrr Express.” In April of 2009 he published the book “Ideological Bigotry,” endorsed on the back cover by Ward Connerly and Armstrong Williams. He followed that up in 2010 with “Ideological Violence,” endorsed by Fox News Military Analyst Ralph Peters, and “Ideological Idiocy.” In 2015 he published “Ideological Lunacy,” endorsed by Fox News Military Analyst Bill Cowan and Kevin Jackson, and “Jewish Lunacy,” endorsed by Rabbis Daniel Lapin and David Wolpe.
He speaks around the country to various chapters of the Republican Women’s Federated, Republican Jewish Coalition, Young Republicans, College Republicans, Tea Party, 9/12 Project, and other conservative groups. He has spoken in front of Vice President Dick Cheney, Michael Reagan, Michele Bachmann, Michael Steele, Eric Cantor, Sarah Palin, Tim Pawlenty, Herman Cain, Michael Medved, Ann Coulter and many more. He spoke at several CPAC events and C-Span has carried his remarks on several occasions.
Cade Marsh, a political consultant and digital media strategist, is a Senior at Palm Beach Atlantic University and the Founder of Millennial Ventures, Inc. He is currently serving as the Florida Federation of College Republican’s Executive Director and recently announced his candidacy for State Chair of the Florida Federation.
Cade got his start in politics as part of the Palm Beach County fundraising team, after which he identified and selected by the College Republican National Committee to serve as their Iowa Field Representative. After serving alongside the CRNC, he partnered with conservatives across the state of Florida to become the Executive Director for FFCR.
His vision is “students reaching students” and is working tirelessly to implement the largest student-led field program of any state federation. He is passionate about raising, training, and deploying the conservative millennial generation to spread the values of limited government, fiscal responsibility, and free markets.
His goal for 2016 is to continue representing College Republicans across the state of Florida and building record numbers of chapters and members, partnering with organizations such as The Tea Party, Leadership Institute, Republican Leadership Initiative, and Turning Point USA. Through coalition building and by implementing an incredibly impressive CR field program, the height of Marsh’s ambition this year is to deliver 100,000 new conservative votes by the November elections, turning Florida red.
