Outside the Beltway

Teleporting Trump Officials

A third (and hopefully final) post on the matter.

Some additional (and longwinded) perspective.

The fourth place candidate for second place in the Republican primaries has taken his ball and gone home to Mother.

It’s the Swiss army knife of profanity.

Apparently, getting her elected President is not a high enough priority in the Biden White House.

A weird new narrative has emerged.

Betcha didn’t expect that headline.

Every Democratic woman seems to be under consideration.

In what was basically a throwaway line, Joe Biden said something nice about Mike Pence. The reaction from his fellow Democrats says a lot about our current political culture, and none of it is good.

George H.W. Bush,, who served his nation as a warrior, Congressman, Ambassador, Vice-President, and President, has died at the age of 94.

Is Donald Trump thinking about dumping Mike Pence in 2020? Probably not, but that’s not going to stop the speculation.

Paul Laxalt, the former Nevada Senator who was one of President Reagan’s closest confidantes outside the White House, has died at 96.

Unless something happens in the next ten days, Joe Biden will become the first two-term Vice-President who didn’t need to cast a tie-breaking vote in the Senate.

Has any major party nominee for president ever damaged his reputation in this manner?

It’s possible that Mike Pence won and Donald Trump still lost. It won’t matter.

Nothing that happens tonight during the Vice-Presidential debate is likely to matter, so feel free to skip it.

The least likely choice ascends to the Number Two position on the Republican ticket.

There’s another round of reports about Joe Biden running for President, but I wouldn’t put much stock them.

Rick Perry is sounding for all the world like a candidate for President, and says he’s a different candidate this time, but initial perceptions are hard to overcome.

Who do the Democrats have to take Joe Biden’s place?

The news that Obama aides discussed a change to the 2012 ticket is part of the latest Halperin/Heilemann campaign history.

It’s just a few days until the 2012 campaign ends, and the jostling for position for 2016 begins.

Should we stop televising political debates?

Sizing up the stakes for tonight’s one and only meeting between the two Vice-Presidential candidates.
