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 ... MORE

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 McAfee Enters Libertarian Party Presidential Race
Anti-virus pioneer throws his hat in the ring. John McAfee is the
70-year-old founder of the antivirus software firm that bears his name
(though he has not been actively involved with it since 1994, and the
company was bought by Intel in 2010).
He's also a colorful world adventurer who has been candid about his
extreme exploits in ... MORERepublican Party Realizes It Has A Donald Trump Problem
by Peter Suderman. Wait a minute—is Donald Trump actually going to win the Republican presidential nomination? All throughout the summer, critics (including me) dismissed Trump as a
novelty item—amusing for a moments, but thoroughly disposable and
certain to be disposed of. But now it’s the end of October, and Trump is still leading the GOP ... MORE
Katie Kieffer: Only Obama Will Shut Down Gov't
Never accept their premise. Government shutdowns are not cancer and today I’ll show why we must stop taking the bait. Indeed, I’ll show why we will lose elections if we are unwilling to shut down the government in order to protect human life and reform immigration policy. CNN’s Dana Bash did not speak much during last week’s ... MOREHillary Clinton's CNN Interview: 9 Questions, 0 Answers
by Tom S. Elliott. Watch the video montage. This past Thursday, Wolf Blitzer managed to score a 14-minute interview with Hillary Clinton, during which he was free to wrest as many answers from the press-shy candidate as he could. The number of answers she actually gave? Zero. Hillary bobbed, weaved, ducked, dodged, and ultimately avoided ... MOREAre Elections Held For The Purpose Of Venting Emotions?
by Thomas Sowell. Why have elections? In a country with more than 300 million people, it is remarkable how obsessed the media have become with just one — Donald Trump. What is even more remarkable is that, after six years of repeated disasters, both domestically and internationally, under a glib egomaniac in the White House, so many potential ... MOREJohn Stossel: Ranking The Candidates
My list of best to worst possible presidents: 1. Rand Paul (R) 2. Gary Johnson (Libertarian) 3. Carly Fiorina (R) 4. Jeb Bush (R) 5. Ted Cruz (R) 6. Scott Walker (R) 7. Rick Perry (R) 8. Marco Rubio (R) 9. John Kasich (R) 10. Ben Carson (R) 11. Bobby Jindal (R) 12. Jim Webb (D) 13. George Pataki (R) 14. Donald Trump (R) 15. Lawrence Lessig (D) ... MOREThomas Sowell: Sorting The Candidates
Finding the needle in the haystack. Despite a nuclear Iran looming on the horizon, the media seem to be
putting most of their attention on two candidates for their respective
parties' presidential nominations next year. Moreover, Hillary Clinton
and Donald Trump each make their own party nervous. If next year's election comes down to Clinton ... MOREThomas Sowell: The Trump Card
But who will be its beneficiary? With Hillary Clinton's multiple misdeeds coming to light and causing her political problems, reflected in her declining support in the polls, both she and the Democratic Party have reason to be concerned. But both of them may yet be rescued by "The Donald," who can turn out to be their Trump card. Donald Trump ... MOREHow Presidential Debates Have Rigged The Election
by Alexandra Shapiro. Suppose Congress passed a law that said only Democrats and Republicans can ever be president of the United States. You don’t need to be a lawyer to know this would be unconstitutional — and completely antithetical to what a democracy is supposed to be about. In our form of government, people get to choose their leaders. ... MOREBrendan O'Neill: Meet The Vagina Voters
Voting for Hillary because she's a woman. "I intend to vote with my vagina." Have you ever read a more squirm-inducing sentence than that? It appeared in a pro-Hillary piece in Dame magazine, written by a person with a vagina who intends to vote for Clinton because she also has a vagina. Let's leave aside the unfortunate image conjured up by ... MOREThomas Sowell: Chaos In The Primaries
Rationality in politics is a formidable long shot. Painful as it is to realize that both the Democrats and the Republicans will still be holding their primaries a year from now, that is one of the high prices we pay for democracy. Seldom does the initial "front-runner" in either party's primaries end up being the actual candidate when election ... MORERand Paul Polling Ahead Of Hillary In Important Swing State
by Jana Benscoter. Pennsylvania is in play for its 2016 presidential election. Philadelphia has been the chosen location for the Democratic National Convention, and Democrats could have their work cut out for them to keep the state blue. On March 31, Pennsylvania Democrats posted on their website a delegate selection plan that allows for ... MOREThe Beginning Of The End Of The War On Drugs
by Ryan Cooper. 50 years of failure is enough. One of the many depressing aspects of the 2004 election was the crushing defeat of pro-gay marriage forces. Republican operatives, cynically stoking turnout with outright lies, put gay marriage bans on the ballot in 11 states, every one one of which was passed overwhelmingly. So it's jarring that gay ... MOREShane Goldmacher: Rand Paul’s Big, Risky Bet on Youth
Can appeal to the young win with the Grand OLD Party. When Sen. Rand Paul
makes his first visit to Iowa as an official presidential candidate
next month, he will head to the campus of the University of Iowa. The
location—one of the state's biggest liberal strongholds—seems unusual
for a Republican, but Paul is headed there in the hopes ... MORERebecca Nelson: Ted Cruz To Announce Presidential Run
Liberty has a candidate. Ted Cruz was never one to wait. The
freshman Senator will reportedly become the first Republican on Monday
to officially announce his presidential candidacy, as he hopes to make
another audacious leap to prominence in a political career that has been
full of them. Cruz's has an event scheduled at Virginia's Liberty ... MORE
