Oh, for heaven’s sake, you are not asking the woman to be your prom date. You’re asking her to be President of the United States. What do you care whether Hillary Clinton smiles, gets her hair done or stays married to Bill? You don’t. You’re just — as my dad would say — bumping your […]

In a very intimate setting, former President Bill Clinton stumped for his wife Hillary Clinton by rallying dozens of local union members gathered at the Ironworkers Local 597 Hall on Jacksonville’s Northside.

Is it possible that the more people believe that Donald Trump could become our next president giving people a different perspective on Barack Obama? According to the latest Gallup weekly tracking poll, Obama has a 50 percent approval rating, his highest since May 2013.

For the first time in a while, the Florida Democratic Primary will mean something. For Bernie Sanders, it is a chance to prove he can win a big diverse state.
