Okay, so I don’t think Hillary will actually win New Hampshire, unfortunately. Still, if you look at the poll numbers over the last few days, it does seem like a staggering change of fortune. Roughly a week ago, Bernie had as much as a 30-point lead, and perhaps closer to 35-points. The fact that someone could write…

But Seriously, Why Don’t Young Women Support Hillary?
As I just pointed out, the only category of women that Hillary doesn’t do well in is women under the age of 30. Now, I kind-of find this hard to believe since among celebrity women she’s doing terrific with the Amy Schumers, Lena Dunhams, Natalie Portmans, and even Taylor Swifts, and it’s the women roughly in her…
Actually, Hillary Does Amazing with Female Voters
The media keeps touting the headline “Bernie beats Hillary in women!” Or some such variation of the idea that Hillary is a dismal failure who can’t even attract female voters the way Obama attracted black voters in ’08. Forgetting that Hillary polled better than Obama in black voters and they only gradually started voting for…
Neither Hillary (Nor Her Supporters) Are “Sexist”
We’ve seen a great number of hyperbole and hysteria in this (seemingly) never-ending primary season. [George R. R. Martin was right, Winter will last for years.] Still, perhaps nothing has been as greatly misrepresented or faux-outraged over than the ridiculous assertion that Hillary Clinton is somehow sexist towards women. It “started” with Madeleine Albright and…
Who’s Got the Cure to New Hampshire’s Heroin Problem?
Which candidate puts forth the best solution to New Hampshire’s heroin problem? In fact, which candidate even said any solution to the problem?

Is Trump TRYING to Lose This Race? The Conclusion…Try Not to Die of Excitement
[And so ends our trilogy of articles. Who says bloggers don’t know how to build suspense with unnecessary cliffhangers? Hey, at least I didn’t make the too-frequent mistake of internet journalism by writing a 30-paragraph article just because I can, word count be damned…] It’s no secret that Trump doesn’t get along with Jeb Bush…
Is Trump TRYING to Lose This Race? 2 of 3
[Note: Are you guys digging this new serialized format? No. Oh okay, we’ll excuse me for experimenting five years in. Yeesh, try to do something different…] Where was I? Right, so Trump was mad that Ted won Iowa through dirty tricks, and it let Ted ….s army of writers open up a Twitter trend with “Trumpertantrum.”…
Is It Possible to Miss Rand Paul?
Rand Paul and I may not see eye-to-eye on things like…well, pretty much everything, but a broken clock is still right twice a day and Rand’s right about two things: not getting involved in unnecessary foreign wars and the drug war. When Rand was at the last debate before he dropped out of the race–the…
Live-Blogging ANOTHER GOP Debate…This is a Full-Time Job
Another GOP debate? This is becoming a full-time job… 5:20–Ben Carson is refusing to walk out on stage…for some reason. Bizarre protest… 5:22–Trump joins him, because, “ehhhh, what the hell?” 5:25–Trump is defending his foreign policy credentials and against Cruz attacks. 5:26–Ben Carson goes after Ted Cruz for very dirty tricks. Good for him. He’s still a…
