Americans Are Abandoning Political Parties
by Kenneth Walsh. Both major political parties are in trouble with the American people. The latest Gallup Poll finds that loyalty to the Democrats and Republicans
is at or near historic lows. In 2015, for the fifth straight year, "at
least four in 10 U.S. adults identified as political independents," a
Gallup spokesman said. Forty-two percent said they were ... MOREJohn Stossel: Bettors Beat The Pundits
Who puts their money where their mouth is? Want to know who the next president will be? Don't trust polls or pundits. Betting odds at ElectionBettingOdds.com are the best predictor of who will win any election. Pundits have a terrible track record. Last election, Newt Gingrich and Dick Morris forecast a Romney "landslide." Rush Limbaugh ... MORE
Conor Friedersdorf: The Principled Realism Of Rand Paul
We should try it for a change. Senator Rand Paul distinguished himself among Republicans this week by championing a more careful, pragmatic response to ISIS than any other primary candidate. So far, it hasn’t won him much support. The rise of the terrorist group has divided the GOP in an interesting way. Its neoconservative wing, ... MORERand Paul Slams White House For Saying Donald Trump Disqualified Himself From Race; Lists Why Obama Is Unfit
by Nick Gass. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul slammed the White House on Wednesday for saying that Donald Trump disqualified himself from running with his announcement earlier this week that the United States should close its borders to Muslims until further notice. During Tuesday's press briefing, White House press secretary Josh Earnest noted ... MORERand Paul Calls For Moratorium On Middle East Immigration
by Sandy Fitzgerald. GOP presidential candidate Rand Paul Monday called for a "moratorium on immigration" from the Middle East, noting that the woman involved in last week's mass shootings in San Bernardino should not have been in the United States. "It appears she was dishonest on her papers to get here," the Kentucky senator told Fox News' ... MORELawrence J. McQuillan: Cutting Government Down To Size
#1 reason to elect Rand Paul. The GOP debates so far have shown that the Republican presidential candidates are far from united on how best to boost the economy. Tax and regulatory reform are critical. But as a first step they should consider following the path Democrats took immediately after World War II: shrink the government. During ... MORENY Post: ObamaCare’s Imploding Even Without Repeal
Maybe the politicos should have read the bill. It’s looking like ObamaCare won’t survive even if Congress can’t manage to repeal it. The nation’s largest health insurer, UnitedHealth Group, said last week that it’s losing too much — $425 million — from policies sold on the health exchanges, and may have to pull out by 2017. The company ... MOREWhy Rand Paul Was The Stealth Winner Of The GOP Debate
by Peter Weber. Fox Business wanted the fourth presidential debate to show that the network respects the Republican presidential candidates, unlike more successful financial news rival CNBC, and it proved that by letting the candidates largely run the show. That tended to favor candidates eager to jump in and assert themselves, so Ohio Gov. ... MOREMatt K. Lewis: Let Rand Be Rand!
The lesson learned. The reviews are in — and it looks like Rand Paul had a good night. Libertarians say he hit his stride. Slate says he’s best when he has nothing left to lose. It was clearly his finest performance of the four debates. As I noted on CNN’s “New Day” Wednesday morning, his heated exchange with Marco Rubio was good for both ... MOREJohn Stossel: My Trump Problem
Using government as a weapon. Sometimes I like Donald Trump. He makes me laugh when he mocks reporters' stupid questions. Sometimes he's smart. When Maryland's lefty governor said a tax on rich people would "raise revenue," Trump told me why it wouldn't. The taxpayers would just flee: "I know these people! They're international people! ... MOREA. Barton Hinkle: The Parties Turn It Up To 11
GOP moving rightward, while Dems move leftward. "Look, I imagine that there's theoretically a chance that [we] all went from being radical extremist crazies to Washington sellouts in 12 hours," South Carolina Republican Rep. Mick Mulvaney said the other day. "But maybe a more likely narrative is that we really think that this is a good ... MOREGeorge Will: Supreme Court Picks Will Be Critical
Slowing the rate of tyranny. A supremely important presidential issue is being generally neglected because Democrats have nothing interesting to say about it and Republicans differ among themselves about it. Four Supreme Court justices are into the fourth quarters of their potential centuries — Stephen Breyer (77), Antonin Scalia (79), ... MOREBoehner Hands Ryan A Defeat On The Way Out The Door
by David Harsanyi. Grass-roots conservatives have many unrealistic expectations and political objectives. And then sometimes they have a good point. The new budget deal arranged by John Boehner and Democrats— approving
$50 billion of additional spending in 2016 and $30 billion in 2017—will
be split between domestic discretionary ... MOREAn 'Encyclopedic Example of Liberal Media Bias'
Brent Bozell on CNBC's unmasking at the GOP debate. MRC president Brent Bozell issued a statement Wednesday night criticizing the overall tilt and tone of the CNBC Republican debate in Boulder: "The CNBC moderators acted less like journalists and more like Clinton campaign operatives. What was supposed to be a serious debate about ... MORE
