Outside the Beltway

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.

Donald Trump is complaining about a ‘rigged’ delegate selection process, but the truth is that the fault lies with only one person, Donald Trump.

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

Ted Cruz pulled off a win in Wisconsin, giving some hope to the “Stop Trump” crowd.

Ted Cruz and Donald Trump are locked in battle in a primary that could decide whether or not Donald Trump can get a majority of delegates prior to the GOP Convention.

Two Republicans who broke with their party to support hearings for Judge Merrick Garland have changed their minds and gotten back in line with the Senate GOP Caucus.

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

Donald Trump takes opposition to abortion to a new, extreme, level.

Conservatives are doing all they can to make sure Merrick Garland does not get either a hearing or a vote in the Senate, and it’s working.

The Supreme Court appeared deadlocked during oral argument in the latest case dealing with the PPACA’s contraceptive coverage mandates.

A crack in the wall.

President Obama has selected his nominee to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court, now the question is whether the Senate will act.

A big night in the Republican race for President leaves Donald Trump as the only candidate realistically situated to be anywhere near a majority of delegates by the time the primaries end in June.

The coming political battle over President Obama’s effort to fill the vacancy created by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia will likely be unlike anything we’ve seen before.

When all is said and done, Super Tuesday Part Two is likely to put Hillary Clinton significantly closer to being the inevitable Democratic nominee.

The President could nominate someone to fill the vacancy created by Antonin Scalia’s death as soon a next week, but Republicans in the Senate remain firmly committed to their decision to deny the as yet unnamed nominee any consideration.

Bernie Sanders was more aggressive in last night’s debate than he has been in the past, but it’s likely too little, too late.

Donald Trump and Ted Cruz split the wins on ‘Super Saturday,’ while Marco Rubio and John Kasich continue to struggle for relevance in the 2016 race.

They haven’t gotten much attention, but there are five contests today as the 2016 nomination process continues to move forward.

Ben Carson announced today that he is skipping the next GOP debate and admitted that he does not see a viable path forward for his campaign. However, he didn’t formally withdraw from the race for the Republican nomination.

A renewed internal GOP fight to stop Donald Trump seems to be doomed to fail.

As expected, Hillary Clinton won big last night while Bernie Sanders largely floundered, thus going further toward making Clinton’s victory inevitable.

Ronald Reagan famously claimed, “I didn’t leave the Democratic Party. The party left me.” I’m going through the process in reverse.

As expected, Donald Trump dominated Super Tuesday, putting himself one step closer to becoming the Republican nominee for President.

A month after raising $6,000,000 for “the troops,,” questions are being asked about where the money Donald Trump raised for veterans causes actually is at this point.

Hillary Clinton crushed Bernie Sander last night in South Carolina, pushing the race further down the path that leads to an inevitable outcome.

There’s little doubt that Hillary Clinton will win today’s South Carolina Primary, the only question is how big a win she’s likely to score.

With the Democratic race headed into territory where Hillary Clinton is heavily favored, Bernie Sanders may finally be coming to realize that he can’t possibly win the Democratic nomination.

This year’s Nevada Caucuses are a good argument for why there should not be any more caucuses.

Donald Trump won his third contest in a row in Nevada, putting him one step closer to inevitability.

Notwithstanding polling that indicates the American public disagrees with them, Senate Republicans emerged from a meeting today largely united on the idea of not giving any Supreme Court nominee named by President a hearing, or even the courtesy of a meeting.

Donald Trump hasn’t hit the point of inevitability yet, but time is running short if Republicans are going to stop him.

Donald Trump is trolling the depths of the Internet’s conspiracy dungeons once again. This time to raise the largely absurd argument that Marco Rubio may not be eligible to serve as President.

For now at least, the Bush Dynasty has seen the end of its involvement in national politics.

Donald Trump racks up another big win, while Marco Rubio surges into second and likely saves his campaign for now.

Hillary Clinton pulled off a strong win that promises to set up a string of victories that will likely leave Bernie Sanders in the dust.

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)

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.

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.

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

A crack in the Republican wall?
