Hillary has balls
Republican “leaders” have been too cowardly and too inept to take on Donald Trump. Not Hillary Clinton. She’s the one person in American politics today who has the toughness, the fortitude and, yes, the balls to stop the gold-plated Manhattan egomaniac from getting to the White House. Republicans waited for Trump to do himself in.…
Read MoreA hateful election
Barack Obama’s 2008 election was about hope. This one will be about hate. Two savvy political veterans, a Republican and a Democrat, agreed this week on one thing: a Trump-Clinton race will bring us historic levels of negativity, bitterness and, yes, hate. The Democrat added, “Hate is a greater motivator than love. It could be…
Read MoreClinton feels the Bern
Hillary Clinton may have a nearly 20-point lead in the latest PPP North Carolina poll, but she and Bernie Sanders are both fighting hard here – and coming here on the last day. Why? Because our delegates divvy up this way: 70 allocated by congressional district, 23 to the statewide winner and 28 “PLEOs” (party…
Read MoreTrump-Clinton debate preview
It will come to this. A 90-minute faceoff that will put Ali-Frazier, Duke-Carolina and all 50 Super Bowls in the shade. Trump has done a lot of debates in this campaign. But every one has been a multi-candidate show. He has had the good luck of being on stage with anywhere from four to seven…
Read MoreHillary IS the firewall
The Washington Post says today, “Donald Trump is well on his way to the 1,237 delegates he needs to be the GOP nominee.” The Super PACs are afraid to take him on. Most of his opponents have fled the field. Only two men stand between Trump and the Republican nomination: Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.…
Read MoreThat was fast
Remember a lifetime ago – actually, last week, after New Hampshire? The Democratic presidential story line was: Hillary’s in trouble. She’s losing young people to Bernie. This could go on a long time. This week, after Nevada, there’s a new story: Hillary has an unassailable lead with delegates. With South Carolina and the SEC primary…
Read MoreBernie’s color barrier
Since Iowa and New Hampshire, the Democratic story line has been Bernie Sanders’s ability to attract and excite young voters (at least, young white voters) and Hillary’s inability to do so, even among young women. But let’s not get carried away by what happened in two snow-white states. The math is simple: There aren’t enough…
Read MoreHint for Hillary
Probably sixty-dozen Friends of Bill and Hillary already have weighed in with confusing and conflicting advice about what to do now. So I offer a suggestion with full confidence it will have no impact whatsoever, which will enable me to later (1) deny I ever said it, or (2) say I told you so. My…
Read MoreDemocrats: storming the castle
Hillary Clinton has the bad luck to be the Establishment in a bad year for the Establishment. She’s living in the castle just as peasants with pitchforks and torches storm the castle. She took $200,000 speaking fees from Wall Street just as Democrats turned against Wall Street. This is galling to Baby Boomers like the…
Read MoreChill, Democrats
Republicans may nominate the most despicable and unacceptable imaginable candidate for President – a crude billionaire so loathsome he could deal the GOP its most crushing defeat since 1974 – and Democrats are going at each other’s throats over Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders? Judging from the growing bitterness and snide sniping on social media,…
