In advance of the South Carolina Democratic Primary to be held in 16 days, the Congressional Black Caucus PAC on Thursday came out in support of Hillary Clinton for president. That’s not to be confused with the Congressional Black Caucus, which has endorsed no one for president. Although she barely defeated Bernie Sanders in Iowa […]

With New Hampshire behind us, I want to share a few insights after spending several days in the state. First, driving through the snow is not at all like driving in rain.

Madeline Albright and Gloria Steinem need to stop obsessing about young women who won’t vote for Hillary Clinton. There’s a better use for their time and energy if they want her to be elected president.

Florida GOP Senate candidate Todd Wilcox, in a prepared statement Wednesday, linked an American flag on the ground at the Hillary Clinton election night party with a larger pattern of contempt, demonstrated most vividly by the burning of the flag at Benghazi. Wilcox calls attention to his own military service, having “stood shoulder-to-shoulder on the battlefield with real American […]

So much for “Marcomentum.” Eight days ago, the national media, with some justification, was spreading the word that Marco Rubio was the unexpected star of the Iowa caucus, despite the fact that he received fewer votes than Ted Cruz and Donald Trump. Rubio began rising in the polls in New Hampshire, and it seemed that […]

Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz is blasting Donald Trump‘s resounding victory in the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday, saying it sends a message to independents and moderates across the country that “the rise of extreme elements in the Republican primary isn’t just entertainment anymore, it has overtaken the GOP.” “Donald Trump started his […]
