I have been a Republican all my life. I remember watching the Republican National Convention in 1956, when I was 8 years old, and seeing President Dwight Eisenhower nominated for a second term. When I turned 21, I registered as a Republican and have voted for all but two of the Republican presidential candidates since […]

A convention two weeks that marked plagiarism from Donald Trump’s wife and a small-but-noisy insurrection by Bernie Sanders’ supporters has concluded with … what? Good question.

One of the great ironies of the 2016 Republican presidential race is how the cult of personality surrounding their nominee is probably the deciding factor in why Donald Trump is their candidate for president. In 2008 and ever since, conservatives decried a similar cult that was built around Barack Obama. Remember the John McCain campaign calling him (in a way […]

The safe play for Ted Cruz would have been to simply give Donald Trump a less-than-tepid endorsement as the Republican standard bearer for president. Party bosses and worker bees alike would have praised him for uniting Republicans in their holy war against Hillary Clinton. Even more, Cruz would have been ideally positioned to be the […]

Focus on November. That was the message Sen. Marco Rubio sent in a brief video message during the Republican National Convention Wednesday. In the 85-second video, the Miami Republican went after Hillary Clinton, saying she did not have the qualities necessary to become president. “Hillary Clinton does not have the honesty, the courage, or the […]
