Outside the Beltway

An historic achievement.

One media critic is arguing that news organizations should ignore the fact that Hillary Clinton will become the Presumptive Democratic Nominee tomorrow. This is utterly ridiculous.

Closer to making history.

Bernie Sanders is continuing to let his supporters believe he has a chance to win the Democratic nomination. He is either delusional, or he is lying to his supporters.

Hillary Clinton is hoping to avoid an embarrassing loss in California to Bernie Sanders, and she just got some help from an unlikely source.

With two former Republican governors running under its banner, is there such a thing as a “Libertarian Party”?

With Republicans in Trump-induced disarray, Libertarians are meeting to pick their nominee and the hope that 2016 could be the year their party finally gets the attention it has craved for four decades.

Donald Trump would be a horrible president. That doesn’t justify Hillary Clinton’s bad acts.

The Clinton campaign probably thought the email story was behind them. The new report from the State Department’s Inspector General shows just how wrong they were about that.

A bad day for the Clinton campaign.

Donald Trump is now just 28 delegates away from clinching the GOP nomination. New Jersey’s primary on June 7th will put him over the top.

Some of the GOP’s top donors still aren’t sold on Donald Trump.

Even as it becomes more and more apparent that he cannot win the Democratic nomination for President, Bernie Sanders is not letting up on his rhetoric against the leadership of the party he claims he’ll support in November.

Several recent polls have shown the race between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton tightening, but it likely means far less than the media hype makes it sound like.

Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders split victories in Kentucky and Oregon last night, and Clinton is now less than 100 delegates away from an historic victory.

Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic nominee regardless of what happens in Kentucky and Oregon today, but her campaign is hoping for a win in Kentucky that puts an end to the repetitive stories about Bernie Sanders continuing to win primaries.

As we begin to head into General Election season, a few things to remember about the avalanche of polls to come.

Regrets, he’s had a few…….

Bernie Sanders won another primary last night, but he continues to fall behind in the race for delegates nonetheless.

Thanks largely to the fact that she has moved left on coal, Hillary Clinton seems likely to lose today’s West Virginia primary. But it will have only a minimal impact on Clinton’s quest for a delegate majority.

The rise of Trump and Sanders has resurrected a debate as old as Western civilization.

If you think this campaign has been awful, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

If these numbers hold up, then the GOP may as well start planning for the 2020 primaries now.

Bernie Sanders won the Indiana Primary last night, but Hillary Clinton continues to accrue the delegates she needs to become the Democratic nominee.

The results from today’s Indiana Primary will go a long way toward setting the course for the end of both party’s nomination fights.

Another big night for Hillary Clinton, and more bad news for Bernie Sanders.

With voters in five states set to go to the polls, both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are likely to make significant progress toward their quest for a majority of delegates in their respective contests.

The passage of a new law in North Carolina has revealed an apparent obsession among some on the right with who gets to use which restroom.

Ted Cruz and John Kasich have come up with yet another plan to stop Donald Trump.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign is beginning to look beyond Bernie Sanders and talk about running mates.

Hillary Clinton scored another big win in New York last night, putting her closer to clinching the Democratic nomination, and causing Bernie Sanders’ campaign to make even less sense.

As expected, Donald Trump scored a huge victory in his home state last night and now appears to be back on track to win the GOP nomination.

As the Empire State votes, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton look well positioned to have a very good night.

A Connecticut Judge has allowed a lawsuit against the manufacturer and seller of the weapons used in the Sandy Hook Shootings to go forward, but a Federal Law appears to make dismissal inevitable.

Just days before a high stakes primary in New York, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders clashed over familiar themes in their latest debate.

With just over a week to go, both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have solid leads in New York.

There are many aspects of the way delegates to the party convention are chosen that is “undemocratic,” but it’s unclear why this is a problem.

A new poll finds that Donald Trump is really, really disliked by voters, but it’s unclear how much that will matter going forward.

Even as the outcome becomes more certain, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton seem to be attacking each other with increasing acrimony.

Bernie Sanders pulled off another win, but it puts him no closer to having a realistic chance of winning the nomination.

How much command of detail should we demand of presidential candidates?

Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are close in Wisconsin, and that’s bad news for Bernie Sanders.

Putting Donald Trump at the top of the ticket would likely lead to an Electoral College disaster for Republicans.

There are some signs of hope out of Wisconsin for those trying to stop Donald Trump.

Bernie Sanders swept the Western Caucuses on Saturday, but Hillary Clinton remains in control in the delegate count.

Ohio Governor John Kasich cannot win a majority of delegates at this point, but he’s still resisting calls to drop out of the race.

It’s time for Bernie Sanders and his supporters to face reality. He’s not going to be the Democratic nominee.
