what does that have to do with anything? The issue is the self-serving and phony nature of what Gillebrand did by saying a guy who has been out of office for almost 20 years should have resigned back then. That's easy. Its also pointless and will be made to look pretty empty if she ends up...

Has anyone posted the excerpt from Frankens book where he wrote that his apology for jokes about raping leslie stahl and other stuff was totally insincere and just to save himself politically? Unbeleiveable -- and it isn't mention in any of the stories that talk abou this swift apology. Even his...

Very courageous of Kristen Gillebrand to say Clinton should have resigned. I'm betting she will call on Franken to resign -- in 20 years

i don't think they are really - most conservatives i think are live and let live types but they also are against having them shoved down their throats. That's the real issue as best illustrated by the gay couples and the bakers.

McCain is a joke. He is a disgrace. He is literally dying on the floor of the Senate and important national policy issues are being decided by his ego, his emotional state and personal dislike for Trump. He clearly is no longer representing Arizona and he should resign.The country will be better...

its called the market -- and though liberals think you can legislate every problem they cant repeal the law of supply and demand.

Fair enough but it is in the eye of the beholder. That being said he cant break double digits in the reddest states and so far has done well (and not all that well at that) in NH where he got a lot of Democrats to vote for him who were torn between him and Bernie Sanders. The CPAC poll is also...

i believe Trump is on record as having said he will pick an experienced politician. Of course that can change especially with The Donald but it makes some sense. I think ideally for him it would be an experienced solid conservative -- that addresses 2 concerns -- his experience and his...

I don't know who this woman is and she may well be fantastic but its a big risk for him to go with an unknown plus that is a HUGE leap from the Texas state Senate to VP. HUGE. Theres just got to be a lot of risk to it.

if a Republican has to make a VP pick to secure Texas then there is no way - NONE - that the Republican can win the election. If Texas is in doubt that means a whole lot of other states are being lost first and it will be a Hilary blow out. Of that much you can be certain. In this day I think...

Yes but the Eisenhower order was clearly in furtherance of a clear Supreme court decision so its pretty hard to attack as an abuse of the power. Im no expert but the Emanciaption Proclamation arguably was more along the lines of the raw exercise of executive power

this goes far beyond the Koch brothers the donor class or republican special interests. Any number of conservative grass roots groups are warning McConnell vehemently that they feel stopping an Obama appointee is more important than even keeping the senate and their logic isn't terrible. They...

So if its an impeachable offense who is it under your view of the Constitution who would hear and decide on the removal of a majority of the US Senate. Last time I looked it was the senate that conducted impeachment trials. So they are going to impeach themselves. And technically it isn't...

Maybe but I think its just as likely that republicans / conservatives will be energized as well so it may be a wash. As someone pointed out I think reasonably having this nomination hang in the balance given what Clinton and sanders have said on guns it is lijkely that every gun owner in America...

I do not support Donald Trump but those comments were disgraceful and totally inappropriate. Period.
