I suppose I should be happy that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) has reversed its decision to block the Bernie Sanders campaign from its own voter data. For one thing, the punishment was grossly out of proportion to the crime – without proof that Sanders himself knew about the leaks from Hillary Clinton’s campaign, denying him access to his network of supporters would have effectively found the Vermont Senator himself guilty based on speculation rather than evidence....

If you watched the second Democratic presidential debate five weeks ago, consider yourself an anomaly.
That event was the lowest rated of the debates held so far during the 2016 election cycle, drawing in only 8.55 million viewers.

During a Donald Trump rally in Las Vegas earlier today, a Trump supporter shouted “Sieg heil!” as a black protester was physically ejected from a room where the candidate was speaking.

As the candidates prepare for the eighth Republican presidential debate in Las Vegas on Tuesday night, there are a few things we know for sure.
As usual, there will be two debates – an undercard debate at 6 p.m. featuring candidates who currently aren’t polling well (former Arkansas Gov.... Read Original Article

If you can’t stand the thought of Donald Trump becoming president, the good news is that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) looks poised to upset him in the pivotal Iowa caucuses next month.
The bad news is that if Cruz succeeds and ultimately becomes the Republican nominee, he will prove to be far worse than Trump himself.... Read Original Article
