…issues loser statement on losing.

What a dummy.

As Steve Hayes and others have suggested, every reporter in every interview should demand that he provide evidence that Cruz broke the law.

Why Carly Fiorina is such a good surrogate.

She’d be an excellent VP pick for Cruz.

Will Trump learn from Wisconsin?

Magic 8 Ball says, “Outlook not so good.”

I love this:

As our own John Podhoretz noted, Donald Trump has lowered the bar for himself to such an extent that even displaying the ability to read a prepared text from a teleprompter compels some political analysts to coo over Trump’s “presidential” comportment. It is certainly true that another display of basic literacy may force some columnists to make their peace with Donald Trump as the likely Republican nominee. But that person — the rational, reassuring, policy wonk – is a fabrication. The real Donald Trump, who reveals himself in the candidate’s extemporaneous ramblings, refuses to be stifled. Candidates set the tone for their campaigns; not the other way around. The Trump campaign is a reflection of the reality of their candidate, and the reality is just nuts.

Let’s make him Commander in Chief!

Hillary’s FBI Interview

7 Comments

Salon (of all places) has ten questions that could derail her political career (and possibly send her to Club Fed):

Unlike loyal Hillary supporters who view the marathon Benghazi hearings to be a badge of courage and countless prior scandals to be examples of exoneration, the FBI didn’t spend one year (investigating this email controversy) to give Clinton or her top aides parking tickets. They mean business, and lying to an FBI agent is a felony, so Hillary Clinton and her aides will be forced to tell the truth. The doublespeak involving convenience and retroactive classification won’t matter to seasoned FBI agents whose reputations are on the line; the entire country feels there’s a double-standard regarding this email controversy.

Because there is, of course. But much of the Democrat machine is in denial, and cannot imagine a world in which a Clinton would ever actually have to be accountable for their crimes.

Any one or more of these four laws should mean jail for Hillary and her top aides. Here‘s the linked article.
