If a respected reporter like Robert Costa can see fit to take this seriously, so can a hack like yours truly. I figured Trump wouldn’t enter the discussion until we nominated him and Romney at the inevitable brokered GOP convention. In recent days,

Just amplifying a point made yesterday by Ace and today by Sean Davis. Forget about whether Scott Walker thinks Obama’s a Christian or even the more basic question, contra Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, and Bill Maher, of whether Obama

Five months ago, I joined many observing that Hillary Clinton's cautious approach to the 2016 election cycle had resulted in a campaign devoid of any substance or excitement. "Everywhere Hillary Clinton goes, a thousand cameras follow. Then she opens

Via John Fund, the partisan split is predictable. What’s striking is how divided independents are. If you imagine indies as a roughly even mishmash of left-leaning and right-leaning centrists (and maybe you shouldn’t imagine them that way, as

Another empty threat or the last straw? This is noteworthy, I think, not so much because there’s a legit prospect of mutiny as because it shows what a total strategic clusterfark the whole cromnibus/DHS/amnesty fiasco has been. Not only are
