Published: Daily Dot (April 16, 2015) “I am Vice President. In this I am nothing, but I may be everything.” Much has changed since America’s first vice president, John Adams, offered that observation about the “insignificant” position which “my country has in its wisdom contrived for me.” Since Adams' statement about his own irrelevancy, the power of the office itself has grown considerably...

Published: Daily Dot (April 13, 2015) With polls giving her a four-to-one lead over her closest rivals, it would seem like Hillary Clinton has good reason to be optimistic about her recently announced presidential campaign.

Published: Daily Dot (March 9, 2015) Whether or not Hillary Clinton becomes America’s first female president on January 20, 2017, one thing is certain: If the American electorate denies her the privilege of shattering the nation’s highest glass ceiling, it won’t be because she decided to use a personalized email address as Secretary of State.

Published: MSNBC (December 7, 2014) While he remains cryptic about his ultimate intentions, Jeb Bush has let America know that if he runs for president in 2016, he will do so by promising an administration that is “much more uplifting, much more positive, much more willing to be practical” – in short, the complete opposite of the status quo in Washington.
