Campaigns & Elections

CNN's Don Lemon refreshingly went after Hillary Clinton on Thursday's New Day over her smear of Republicans/conservatives on Wednesday's AC360. Clinton used Donald Trump's stumble on the abortion to attack pro-lifers in general: "They all want to dictate a women's reproductive health care decisions...Now maybe, they aren't quite as open about it, as Donald Trump was earlier today. But they all…

La propietaria de un restaurante mexicano en Arizona que en un acto reciente de campaña sostenía un cartel que decía "Latinos Apoyan D. Trump" ha recibido un aluvión de amenazas de matarla y quemar y bombardear su negocio por parte de los opositores a Trump. Pero ante el odio y las amenazas violentas la comunidad local se ha unido en apoyo al restaurante, cuyas ventas ahora están mejor que nunca.

Wednesday morning, Tim Graham at NewsBusters observed how pseudo-conservative David Brooks, who is no fan of Donald Trump, gave the current GOP frontrunner credit for having "destroyed a dying husk" of "obsolete Reagan ideology" in the Republican Party. That's fascinating stuff, given the catch of the day by Instapundit's Ed Driscoll. You see, 12 years ago, Brooks gave Reagan credit for having…

Un grupo musical norteño de California ha grabado un "corrido" mexicano con el título  "El Quemazón". En su esfuerzo abierto de llamar la atención de más hispanos para que sientan la "quemazón" de Bernie Sanders, Univisión decidió darle a este tributo musical una nota positiva.

On Thursday, all three network morning shows gleefully seized on Donald Trump’s abortion comments during a Wednesday MSNBC town hall to boost Hillary Clinton, declaring the remarks to be the “perfect” “gift” for the Democratic frontrunner.

Liberal Stephen Colbert really has dropped the faux conservative routine as the host of the Late Show on CBS. On Wednesday, he lamented the fact that the “passionate,” “popular” Elizabeth Warren isn’t running for President. Last fall, he pleaded with the Democrat to run for President. 

Joe Scarborough came close to calling Donald Trump a fraud when it comes to his late-in-life switch from being strongly pro-choice, including supporting partial-birth abortion, to being pro-life. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough flatly called Trump's 180-degree flip on the issue, coming when it did, "impossible." Scarborough's comments came in the context of Trump's statement [later amended]…

Days after he smeared the Last Supper as bland and ruled the didn’t blame Judas for betraying Jesus, NBC’s Late Night host Seth Meyers spent over seven minutes early Thursday morning viciously berating and decrying conservatives backing religious freedom laws in Georgia and North Carolina as segregationists alongside Christians, Chick-fil-A, and North Carolina Republican Governor Pat McCrory.

On Wednesday night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC, the usually-friendly talk-show host had Ted Cruz on as his guest and while the interview started out friendly, Kimmel soon made jabs at Cruz for being unlikeable and attacked Cruz’s claims about ObamaCare and radical Islam. When Cruz referred to ObamaCare as a "disaster," Kimmel countered that he hadn’t heard “one” negative story about ObamaCare.

In brief aside before the first commercial break on Wednesday’s two-hour AC360, panelist and former Gingrich adviser Rich Galen called out the CNN show for its total devotion to the latest musings from Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and caused host Anderson Cooper to admit that Trump “has set the agenda...from almost the moment he entered the race.”

Mark Zandi, Moody's chief economist, comments monthly on the ADP private-sector employment report his firm compiles. He is "often quoted in national and global publications and interviewed by major news media outlets, and is a frequent guest on CNBC, NPR, Meet the Press, CNN, and various other national networks and news programs." Zandi has also been the economy's head cheerleader during much of…

Instead of covering Donald Trump’s most recent, surprising statements on foreign policy, two of the three big networks on Wednesday’s evening news broadcasts decided to harp on Trump’s comments about abortion instead. Devoting over 12 minutes, between the three networks, to Trump’s comments about women being punished for getting abortions, NBC was the only one to bring up Trump’s comments about…

All too happy to give a hand to those opposed to religious freedom laws, the CBS Evening News continued to play its part in chastising those in favor of religious freedom and so-called bathroom bills with North Carolina’s version being “roiled by backlash, boycott threats, and bigotry allegations.”

A Mexican restaurant owner in Arizona who held a “Latinos Support D. Trump” sign at a recent campaign rally has received a barrage of threats, by Trump opponents, to kill her, burn and bomb her business. But in the face of the hate and vicious threats, the local community has rallied in support of the restaurant, where business is better than ever.
