Hillary Clinton shouldn't take for granted she's got the Democratic nomination in the bag. Bernie Sanders, a self-described Socialist, is doing as well against Clinton in the polls as Obama was back in the 2008 election cycle.

Surely one of the most debated questions for historians after President Barack Obama’s eight years of economic and foreign policy mismanagement will be whether he was a deceiver or just deceived.

He’s still the best of the Bushes. But is that enough to attract conservative primary voters who are demanding less of the same ole thing?

As strange as it may sound, President Obama’s recent statements give the impression that he’s willing to let his health care law go on life support—if he can claim Republicans pulled the plug. 

Scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) manipulated the raw data from global temperatures.  

Insisting on sunset clauses would be a significant structural improvement in the function and efficiency of government at all levels, and would protect Americans from an ever-spreading snarl of outdated laws and regulations, administered by a government incompetent enough to allow them to accumulate in the first place.

Do cities with high crime rates tend to vote for Democratic mayors, or do the policies and practices of Democratic mayors tend to lead to high crime rates?

Only a relatively small number of people are actually excited that Hillary Clinton is running and will likely be the Democratic presidential nominee.

Populist politicians stand against every thing that conservative and libertarian politicians stand for—limited government and the rule of law.

Democrats used to get annoyed when critics accused President Obama of being a socialist. Not so with Vermont senator and presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.
