In a way, House District 103 is the Democrats’ Moby Dick. The younger-skewing, heavily Hispanic district spanning parts of Miramar, Hialeah Gardens, and Medley elected President Barack Obama by a 10-plus-point margin in 2012. The HD 103 seat straddles Broward and Miami-Dade counties, places Democrats need to plant their flag and hang their hats big-time if they’re […]

Marco Rubio says he will spend this weekend consulting with his family about running for again his U.S. Senate seat – and the Democratic Party appears more than ready to attack him if he does.

Donald Trump‘s favorite nickname for the news media is the “dishonest press.” He swaps in “disgusting press” from time to time.

In recent weeks, he’s used his […]

Monday evening, Florida’s CFO Jeff Atwater addressed the Greater Arlington Republican Club in Jacksonville, offering remarks that were intended to rally the troops while reminding GARC attendees of Republican first principles. “I’m from South Florida,” Atwater said, “and I’m used to sitting at the table with people who don’t get it.” In this case, “it” […]

After briefly expressing sympathy for and solidarity with the people of Orlando, Donald Trump used Sunday’s Pulse nightclub massacre as reason to double-down Monday on his desires to ban Muslim immigrants and broaden domestic intelligence gathering. In a speech at Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire that was billed as an attack on presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary […]

Hillary Clinton on Monday said the Orlando nightclub massacre called for “statesmanship, not partisanship.” The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee spoke on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program. “This is a moment for Republicans, Democrats and Independents to work together as one team,” she said, according to a rush transcript. “The American team.” “I think that our fellow American […]

So, what now? America suffered through yet another gun shooting massacre over the weekend in Orlando, and by now you know all the relevant details.
