Wrong Side of History: Iran Awards Medals For Capture of American Sailors

Make America Awesome PAC wants you to tell Donald Trump to take a hike – which is pretty much the PAC’s entire reason for existing – and they have a new way you can do that. They call them “Dear Don” cards. You know, like Dear John Letters, but they’re Valentine’s Day cards. Some hit pretty hard. Take a look at this one: Dude. OUCH. | Read More »

The irony of Donald Trump’s campaign is that he is finding support largely among middle class white men, many of whom are working but worried about their jobs. Others are doing work they normally don’t, just to pay the bills. Still others are concerned about the economy with respect to immigration. It’s easy to debate these fears. I’d say the fears of a lack of | Read More »

Earlier today, RedState’s Kimberly Ross asked if Trumpmania and Obamania were different. She focused on substance. But I can answer the question on pure craziness. Sometimes, fans of a politician go nutballs. You don’t like to admit it, but it’s true. There are crazy Cruz fans. There are crazy Ron/Rand Paul fans. There are definitely crazy Obama fans. And there are, in huge, annoying, loud, | Read More »

At the request of the Powers That Be, I have to actually include something besides just an image here. HOWEVER, I do so under protest. Why would I need anything other than this picture? Why would I want anything other than this picture in this post? This picture is perfect. This picture is how you can tell there is a cult surrounding the campaign of Donald | Read More »

Melissa Harris Perry of MSNBC, of tampon earring fame, has a new concern. Her concern is that knocking on doors of illegal immigrants is essentially the revival of the Fugitive Slave Act, a law from 1850 that allows slave owners to recapture any runaway slaves. This is, of course, not the best moment in United States history, but it is something that happened. You see, if | Read More »

CEDAR RAPIDS, IA – Marco Rubio just left the stage at the Doubletree Hilton in Cedar Rapids, IA, but as I finish writing this piece, there are still about 200 people who are waiting for a chance to shake hands with Rubio personally and talk to him about the issues. Rubio spoke for about 45 minutes and even though I’m sure the campaign trail has | Read More »

It’s apparent that one of the biggest aspects – if not the biggest – of this election cycle is the quick, unexpected rise of Donald Trump, his continued popularity, and the extreme enthusiasm that his followers possess. But is the fandom surrounding Donald Trump so different than that of Barack Obama? I don’t believe so. In fact, the similarities are striking, and should be problematic | Read More »

Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse is on the anti-Trump campaign trail. When Chuck Todd gave him this question, Sasse told us what this election is about.

In an effort to convince Evangelicals that he is one of them, Trump attended church today in Council Bluff, Iowa, and while the edifice didn’t burst into flames, “my little cracker” gave Trump a bit of comeuppance.

Poor John Kasich. First, he suffers from debilitating “Invisible Orchestra Conductor Syncrome” (or IOCS, wherein one is constantly conducting an orchestra no one can see), and now this. The New York Times has endorsed him as the GOP’s only “plausible” candidate. Ouch bro. The actual text of the endorsement reads like pretty much the most brutal anti-Kasich ad imaginable. Gov. John Kasich of Ohio, though | Read More »

Hillary Clinton compares her email troubles to her Benghazi troubles. I agree… but not in a way she’d like.

For true political junkies, tomorrow night represents something of a culmination of a multi-year buildup.  After at least two years of speculation and ten months of formal primary season observing, we will finally get some tangible votes from the Hawkeye State. Here is what I’ll be looking for on the Republican side, followed by some final predictions. What To Look For Trump’s GOTV Efforts — After months of | Read More »

Slowing the Twitter: The latest thing Donald Trump has taken credit for is slowing down Twitter. Talking Points Memo has up a bit of an exchange Mr. Yuuuge had with a CBS host who questioned his Twitter usage: “Having Twitter is great. And between Facebook and Twitter and Instagram, I have 12 million people, more than 12 million people. So it is a great way of getting the | Read More »
