Outside the Beltway

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

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

Changes that the Republican National Committee made to delegate allocation rules in response to what happened in 2012 are helping Donald Trump in 2016.

It’s Super Tuesday, and both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are likely to go a long way toward securing the nominations of their respective parties.

A new national poll suggests that the newly aggressive tone from Senators Rubio and Cruz has done nothing to stop Donald Trump’s momentum.

Ever since last week’s debate, the race for the Republican nomination has come to resemble a schoolyard fight among a bunch of nine year-olds.

Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions became the latest prominent Republican to endorse Donald Trump, but there are a lot more Republicans who are starting to panic over what Trump could do to their party.

Donald Trump is positioned to do very well on Super Tuesday, while Ted Cruz should win his home state. Marco Rubio, meanwhile, seems to be struggling to maintain his relevance.

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 one surprise endorsement, Donald Trump stole the post-debate news cycle from Marco Rubio.

Bizarrely, the Marco Rubio campaign seems to be telling donors that their candidate may have to hope for a brokered convention to win the GOP nomination.

Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz landed some punches on Donald Trump last night, but it’s doubtful that they changed the nature of the race.

On Tuesday, Ted Cruz’s campaign faces what amounts to a do-or-die battle in Texas.

If Marco Rubio can’t win in his home state, where can he win?

A new poll shows Donald Trump with historically low support for a Republican from Latino voters. That’s a recipe for electoral disaster.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Clinton is a virtual lock for the Democratic nomination. Rubio is the most plausible Republican winner in a messy field.

Fundraising in the final three months of 2015 largely reflected the state of the race itself, but some candidates are better positioned going forward than others.

With mere days until voting starts, the possibility of Donald Trump running the table in the February primaries and caucuses, or nearly doing so, is more and more likely.

Marco Rubio’s campaign strategy depends on a lot of hope, and no small degree of ignoring reality.

CNN is taking over a late February Republican debate from NBC News, meaning it will host more Republican debates this election cycle than any other single network.

Jeb Bush and Chris Christie have spent the holiday week taking aim at Marco Rubio.

Another set of solid ratings for the latest debate.

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul won a completely meaningless straw poll.

Newt Gingrich is morally and intellectually bankrupt, so perhaps it’s no surprise that his health care think tank is now fiscally bankrupt.

There will be no more GOP candidate debates. That’s not necessarily a good thing.

Rick Santorum won the night, but Mitt Romney continues to win the delegate hunt.

If you listen to the punditocracy, you’d think that there’s actually a doubt as to who the GOP nominee will be.

The race will go on after Super Tuesday, but the outcome seems ineviable
