Kay Daly’s Primary Campaign Against Renee Ellmers Is Textbook Absurdity (VIDEO)

Renee Ellmers is going to face two primary challengers in 2016. Kay Daly, a former North Carolina GOP spokesperson is one of them in addition to former county GOP chair Jim Duncan. I like primaries for the most part. I think they keep incumbents on their toes and there are times when primary challenges bring about healthy results, with [mc_name name=’Rep. David Brat (R-VA)’ chamber=’house’ mcid=’B001290′ | Read More »

How Obama Let the NSA Spy On Congress To Pass the Iran Nuclear Deal

On the one hand this is pretty incredible, on the other hand this is totally to be expected. When a president presumes the authority to tell Congress when it is and is not in session, then it is only a short step to spying on the members of Congress in order to subvert the functioning of the Congress. And that is exactly what has happened. | Read More »

Chipotle’s Food: So Progressive It Might Make You Sick

Chipotle, that fast-food-with-a-twist restaurant, has been plagued with a contamination scandal. Restaurant chains must always be careful with their food preparation, or they run the risk of infecting customers and severely hurting future profits. This is obvious. But Chipotle’s plight is a different circumstance, for they are well-known to promote the idea of “food integrity” most of all. So is their progressive and feel-good, social | Read More »

Rand Paul is missing the point as Obama spies on Israel

So we’ve got an Obama administration scandal going on, as some inappropriate behavior has come out with respect to the “deal” with Iran. I put deal in quotes because Iran isn’t actually committed to anything. But regardless, the administration’s behavior around this deal is suspicious… but Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) 90% is ranting about some tangential matter. He misses the point when | Read More »

How the Coming War Between Donald Trump And Hillary Clinton Is A Win For the GOP

Donald Trump picking another fight. This one is supremely important and all candidates, regardless of what they think about Trump, should pitch in. This one is with Hillary Clinton and it is a fight that Trump is very likely to win. Last week I posted on the first salvo Trump has fired at Hillary Clinton over her decision to bring Bill Clinton on board to help | Read More »

Ted Cruz as “Too Conservative to Win” and the Goldwater Talking Point

“History doesn’t repeat itself. The media does. So too does a Republican Establishment that has seen all its more winnable moderates from Dole to McCain to Romney lose.”The media typically begins any Presidential campaign with comparisons to Harry Truman. The Reagan re-election in 1984 had the comparison. The Bush re-election in 1992 had the comparison. The Clinton re-election in 1996 had the comparison. Humorously, the | Read More »

Head’s Up. California Starts No Notice Gun Confiscation On January 1

The left has always claimed that they were interested in “commonsense” gun safety laws, not in confiscating weapons from law abiding citizens. When they get enough power, you learn in very short order that their real agenda is actually ensuring that no private citizen is able to possess a firearm legally. What no one said would or could happen is coming to pass in California. | Read More »

More Ben Carson Staffers Resign As the Campaign Starts To Look Terminal

More Ben Carson Staffers Resign As the Campaign Starts To Look Terminal

I think that here at Redstate most of us have had doubts from the beginning about the candidacy of Ben Carson. It has always had more of the hallmarks of ...

The Strongest Trump Supporters Are Registered Democrat

Sorry Democrats. In Today’s New York Times, Nate Cohn crunches the statistics on Donald Trump’s supporters and reveals that the Donald “holds his greatest strength among registered Democrats who identify as Republican leaners.” Cohn also put it this way, Trump’s “very best voters are self-identified Republicans who nonetheless are registered as Democrats.”

Another mind-boggling conclusion set forth by Cohn is that registered Republicans are “one of Mr. Trump’s weakest groups.” If you can’t wrap your mind around that, well join the club. Perhaps this helps explain why so many Republicans I know don’t care much for Trump as a Presidential candidate.

Hillary Doubles Down On Calling Benghazi Victims Families, Liars

Hillary Clinton really has no shame. She’s not worried of course. Her friends in the media are not going to care about the lies she tells, no matter how outrageous. It’s bad enough she has lied to the public about Benghazi and that all anybody can say positive about her testimony before the Select Committee on Benghazi is that she was able to sit down | Read More »

Water Cooler-Thursday (12/31/15) – Open Thread

Let’s start off the Water Cooler by debating the inevitable: Are black eyed peas racist? Someone tell us now before it creates havoc tomorrow. Another Path: A couple days ago  Erick Erickson laid out what could be a Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) 94% path to victory.  Teaparty.org  wrote about Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 100%to victory back in April.  In October, Patrick Buchanan explained Donald | Read More »

The Myth That Ted Cruz Believes A Myth

Recently a myth has been developed around Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 100%. In this telling, the likely Republican nominee is cast as believing that a few million evangelical voters refused to vote for Mitt Romney and stayed home, handing the 2012 election to Barack Obama. The truth is that evangelicals who voted before also mostly voted for Mitt Romney, and Cruz does not believe | Read More »

2015 has been a Record Year for Federal Regulations

The soon-to-be finished year of 2015 has been one full of milestones and records, but this one is certainly not worth celebrating. The Obama administration has been busier than even rolling out new regulations. The 2015 Federal Register has amounted to 81,611 pages of new and proposed ones, more than the federal government has ever before issued in a single year. Per The Hill: This | Read More »

Jeb Bush Now Openly Using George W. Bush for Campaigning

Jeb Bush’s relationship with his brother has been a prickly issue for him to navigate throughout the course of this campaign so far. George W. Bush isn’t as unpopular as he used to be with the general public, which means that it isn’t as important for Jeb to distance himself from GWB during the general election. Moreover, Jeb is no longer the front runner by | Read More »

New Hampshire is Bush’s firewall. What delegates will he get?

While the Iowa caucuses are volatile, and you never know just how the delegates will turn out as rooms full of people get together and make deals, the New Hampshire primary has a simple set of rules for determining the winner. Let’s check the current polling and see who would win delegates there.

Why Twitter’s new ‘hateful speech’ policy will detonate in their faces.

Twitter’s new hateful speech policies are going to fail. Just not for the obvious reason.

Let’s Go Exploring

“Everything familiar has disappeared! The world looks brand new!,” said Hobbes. “A new year… a fresh clean start,” replied Calvin. “It’s a magical world, Hobbes, ol’ buddy… let’s go exploring!” Twenty (!!!) years ago today, Calvin and Hobbes came to an end. Ten years later, I would finish my first year at the helm of RedState. And now ten years after that my time has | Read More »

Trump Supporters Love Satirical Song Mocking His Presidential Run (VIDEO)

Parody in politics is a given. It will happen and most politicians actually enjoy it. When Presidents (even Presidential candidates) become fodder for Saturday Night Live bits, it brings them a new level of attention. Most of the time it is not flattering but it’s fun. Of course, most times people know when parody is parody. Enter some Donald Trump supporters.  The people at the conservative | Read More »

If You Are Convinced Hillary Can’t Be Beat, For Heaven’s Sake Leave Us Alone

Do you like to lose? If you think Hillary can’t be beat and that every possible break will fall her way then for Heaven’s sake, never post here again. RedState is a site for winners. Hillary Clinton is tired, sick, incompetent, mentally rigid and deeply unpopular old woman. She is not only not inevitable, she will have a very difficult time winning. Man up and stop liking to lose.

Opening Thoughts Welcome to the Watercooler! Hard to believe that this is almost the start of a new year… and even though we had plenty of warning, it’s hard to believe that the man who made RedState the powerhouse it’s become is moving on to other ventures.

The Christmas Day Arson of a Houston Mosque was a False Flag Operation

  As despicable as this may seem, leaders of prominent American Muslim organizations have been busy trying to convince the American Muslim community that the deadly shootings in San Bernardino were a false flag operation. We have already covered the bizarre behavior of the lawyers CAIR hired to defend the Farook family, who have done very little to actually protect the legal interests of the | Read More »
