Whatever his faults, Trump is superior to Hillary in every way

I completely understand why some conservatives are horrified at the prospect of Donald Trump being the Republican nominee for president. I understand their discomfort with his bluster, with his lack of any history supporting conservative ideas, with his many contributions to Democrat candidates, with some elements of his track record in business. Some of it bothers me too, although I do think a lot of the handwringing is over things that don't really matter that much.

Romney’s Trump attacks are part of Rubio’s ‘brokered convention’ preparations

If the current polling - or at least the polling prior to last night's debate - holds, Donald Trump is all but a lock for the GOP nomination. That's good news for "the Donald," but everyone else in the party is staring into the abyss. Outside of Trump, it's very difficult to make an argument that any GOP candidate has a legitimate path to the brass ring. Depending on your opinion of Trump, you greet this news with either adulation or dread. Obviously, if your name is Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz, it's a disaster.

The Media’s Support for Hillary, and Buyer’s Remorse for Trump

The liberal media are doing their best to feed the street fight that the GOP primaries have become, pushing for greater, and fiercer, attacks on Republican front-runner Donald Trump. At the same time the media are doing their best to protect Hillary Clinton in many different ways: by minimizing her legal and ethical troubles, avoiding discussions of her foreign policy record, and deliberately ignoring the close ties between the media and the Clintons. After her resounding primary victory in South Carolina, the relief is palpable that Mrs. Clinton appears well on her way to wrapping up the nomination in the next few weeks, avoiding a protracted battle. We’ll see.

States debate Article V convention

Article V of the U.S. Constitution states (my italics): “The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress…”

Dems: If it ain’t broke, break it

As former Speaker Newt Gingrich said recently during a Fox News Channel interview, "Democrats lie better than Republicans tell the truth." He's right.

What happened to free speech?

Former Spanish Prime Minister José María Aznar wrote in 2010: "The West is going through a period of confusion over the shape of the world's future. To a great extent, this confusion is caused by a kind of masochistic self-doubt over our own identity; by the rule of political correctness; by a multiculturalism that forces us to our knees before others."
