Liberal WashPost Endorsements: 6 to 1 in Favor of Democrats

November 4th, 2016 10:00 PM
A Wednesday column at Vanity Fair by former National Public Radio CEO Ken Stern started on a promising track, but ended up in the same place as the rest of the establishment press: Donald Trump must lose, even if the press has to abandon all semblance of fairness and objectivity to accomplish that task.

New Republic Writer: Trump, Pro-Lifers Prone to Simplistic Thinking

October 30th, 2016 6:10 PM
Generally, pro-lifers support Donald Trump not because they believe he’s truly one of them, but because he’s clearly preferable to Hillary Clinton.

Jones wrote that “Trump understood that he simply needed to repeat a few pieces of boilerplate in…

"Oh, um. Let's see. Um. That would have been onnnn... Uhhhh.... Let's see if I have the date exactly... It would have been onnnnn.... 'Lock her up' would have been onnnn..."
