Outside the Beltway

Returning to a debate from the comment section.

America is getting screwed by playing by the rules it created.

A purge of the professional staff for, well, reasons.

The politics of chaos.

More importantly, comments on challenges to incumbent presidents.

A competent leader versus a lunatic would seem an easy choice. Alas.

A surpringly large number tuned in to see people who won’t be the nominee.

The Establishment is desperate for an alternative that’s not coming.

As tired as we may be of him, his nominating electorate appears ready for another round.

Alas, it probably doesn’t matter.

The Needle is Broken

The list is small but growing.

A game wherein one team has to score more points to win than does the other.

A partial response in the context of a complex topic.

Could a blue state governor be the future of the Republican Party?

The races are more alike—and yet more different—than we seem to remember.

Primaries are not all they are cracked up to be.

Contrary to the hopes of some, getting rid of Trump isn’t going to purge the GOP of Trumpism.

As the race for the Democratic nomination heads into the fall, it looks as if it has already winnowed itself down to a top three.

Should the pundit class look more like America?

A considerable number of Republican have effectively left our party over Donald Trump. Should we go all the way?

Four years ago, Donald Trump began his campaign for President. What has followed has been as bad as could have been predicted that day.

Not surprisingly, Donald Trump fears former Vice-President Joe Biden the most of all the Democrats currently running against him.

He’s tan. He’s rested. He’s ready. But is the Democratic Party going to buy what Joe Biden is selling?

The 2020 debate on Twitter does not represent ordinary Americans. Does that matter?
