Outside the Beltway

Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are battling today for votes in a caucus whose outcome could go either way.

Tonight’s results in South Carolina could have a significant impact on the race going forward. (Plus, a projection)

The reclusive author of one of the greatest American novels ever written has died at the age of 89.

More likely than not, South Carolina marks the end of the road for Jeb Bush’s bid for the Presidency.

It’s hard to caucus away from home.

The futility of US policy towards Cuba is obvious to anyone who gives it even a passingly objective assessment.

Two new polls show that Americans are basically split equally on the question of who should appoint the Justice that will replace Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court.

Hillary Clinton still has a massive lead in South Carolina, and in the Super Tuesday states that follow.

Donald Trump is on the verge of another big victory.

The unity of the Republican Senate on the idea of no hearings or votes, if it ever really existed, appears to be cracking.

Apple is resisting a Federal Court order that it assist the F.B.I. in decryption of the iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino terrorists.

Another state, another Sanders surprise that is likely to raise questions about Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

A crack in the Republican wall?

What would Jed Bartlet do?

Dare I say: hate the game, not the players?

The godfather of the Responsibility to Protect doctrine has passed.

Donald Trump appears headed for another victory in South Carolina’s primary.

Republicans are putting much on the line in their refusal to consider any Supreme Court nomination from President Obama.

The politicization of Supreme Court appointments didn’t start with Republicans last night.

It didn’t take long for the political battle over the seat held by the late Justice Antonin Scalia to become another part of the 2016 political battle.

In the short term, Justice Scalia’s death will have a significant impact on cases the Supreme Court has already heard, and cases it is scheduled to hear in the next two months.

One week before the South Carolina Primary, the remaining Republican candidates for President clashed in a headed debate.

Associate Justice Antonin Scalia has died at the age of 79.

Donald Trump says he might sue Ted Cruz over his citizenship if Cruz continues attacking him.

Another step forward with regard to the American-Cuban relationship.

If last night’s debate is any indication, Hillary Clinton’s campaign is about to get much more aggressive in its critique of Bernie Sanders.

The end of Webbmentum is here, my friends.

Yes you can Ben, yes you can.

As Michael Bloomberg flirts with the idea of running for President, a poll finds very little enthusiasm for the idea.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is officially dropping out of the race for President.

As if to further demonstrate just how fair off the rails the GOP has gotten, Donald Trump’s unconstitutional, wrong-headed, racist notions are supported by wide majorities in the party that still claims to the by the “Party of Lincoln.”

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is “expected” to drop his bid for the Republican nomination after a disappointing finish in New Hampshire.

Donald Trump is back on top, but the field below him remains as confused as ever.
