To the tea party activists who blew up the Republican Party, welcome to your worst nightmare: President Hillary Clinton

After Trump’s terrible two weeks, expect a ‘comeback’ but prepare for a landslide

After Trump’s terrible two weeks, expect a ‘comeback’ but prepare for a landslide

Donald Trump wrapped up the Republican nomination and instead of exploiting a 6-week head start, he preceded to frack deep into his soul to new depths. Listing his foibles would take weeks so let’s sum up the highlights: He attacked his party’s most prominent elected Latina; he spent a full week explaining that an American-born judge couldn’t be fair because […]

Reflections on Hillary Clinton’s historic achievement, superdelegates, and the fight ahead against demagogue Trump

On May 21st of this year, I was elected to be the male delegate pledged to Hillary Clinton for Michigan’s 7th Congressional District. To say I’m proud to be supporting the first woman to receive the Democratic Party’s nomination for president is a bit of an understatement. I’m proud of her and I’m proud of my Party for shattering historic […]

This I can tell you: One veterans group that (finally) got its Trump #VetGate cash is a shady operation out of Michigan

This I can tell you: One veterans group that (finally) got its Trump #VetGate cash is a shady operation out of Michigan

Donald Trump is involved in a number of scandals this week. First, his swindling of Trump University students has made the national spotlight when the Washington Post convinced the judge overseeing the case to release internal Trump U. documents to the public.

GUEST POST: Any support for Trump is support for bigotry, misogyny, racism, and sexism and deserves to be shamed

The following guest post was written by Ned Staebler, founder of the Michigan Talent Agenda. I’ve hesitated to write this for several reasons, not the least of which is that I hoped it wouldn’t be necessary. I hoped that, at some point, Republican Party voters would come to their senses. I hoped that GOP leaders would step up and be […]

Donald Trump is playing the role of The Mule from Isaac Asimov’s Foundation Trilogy

Anyone making predictions about the outcome of the 2016 presidential race is on a fool’s errand. The existence of a Donald Trump candidacy is a disruptor. It creates such chaos and uncertainty that nothing about the race is predictable. Lately I’ve been thinking about the parallels between Donald Trump as a political candidate and the character of The Mule in […]

Could 2016 be the year of the four-party post-primary presidential contest?

Could 2016 be the year of the four-party post-primary presidential contest?

Let’s face it: NOBODY has a clue how the presidential primaries will shake out. Despite recent surges (and primary wins) by Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are the presumptive “favorites” according to the basic delegate math.
