Touchy Hillary Spox Won't Say She's a 'Liberal'
Of all the things you can call John Heilemann, one thing you cannot is "clandestine Republican operative." So it might be a sign of just how frazzled the Hillary campaign has become that her spokesman has in essence accused Heilemann of being a GOP catspaw.
On today's With All Due Respect, Heilemann pressed Clinton spox Brian Fallon as to whether Hillary would call herself a liberal. Fallon…

Fusion: Cut 'Excessive Defense Spending' to Pay Reparations
On Tuesday's America With Jorge Ramos, Fusion's Nando Vila advanced the left-wing cause of reparations to the descendants of slaves. Vila asserted "the moral case for reparations is a clear one.

Trump: In Iowa, 'I Sort of Just Went Through the Motions'
Donald Trump normally projects the image of a guy with only one gear: warp drive. But on today's Morning Joe, Trump made an interesting admission, saying that in Iowa, "I sort of just went through the motions a little bit."

The results in the Iowa caucuses are a rebuke to the notion that the national media have all the influence over America’s voters.
