At this point, Alan Grayson isn’t surprised that yet another Democrat has endorsed Patrick Murphy in their battle for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in Florida, even if it’s the much-lauded Bob Graham. “If you take a look at the polling for those who pitted his daughter against me and Patrick, his daughter came […]

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 […]

What is more appealing for Democrats like me? Donald Trump as the Republican nominee, or a fractured convention that produces a nominee who received no Republican primary votes, like Paul Ryan? Honestly, both sound pretty good and likely to culminate in a Hillary Clinton presidency. But it’s not up to Democrats like me, and the […]

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders says he still maintains a “path toward victory” in his Democratic presidential bid against Hillary Clinton, rejecting suggestions that she has all but sewn up the party’s nomination. “I don’t believe they have an insurmountable lead,” Sanders said Thursday in a telephone interview with The Associated Press from Arizona, where he […]

Thanks to Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, the campaign for president has become in part a bizarre version of the old celebrity game show, “I’ve Got a Secret.” This time, however, we know what secrets are being kept. We just don’t know the details, or what devils may be in them. Clinton’s are the transcripts […]

Several Super PACs including American Future Fund, Club for Growth, and Our Principles PAC spent $7.4 million in anti-Trump ads, according to Vox. Meanwhile, native son Marco Rubio spent over $8 million, and got his clock cleaned by the Manhattan mogul. The Trump phenomenon is […]
