All my readers know about my admiration for Tim Tebow (Even though he turned down the Crimson Tide for the Florida Gators – but hey nobody’s perfect!) Check out this report from Christine Rousselle at Townhall: Former Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow is reportedly being eyed for a Congressional run, the Washington Examiner is reporting. […]

Updated 3/24/2016 to reflect the results of 3/22/2016 in Arizona and Utah and the finalization of previous contests. Net results after 3/22 Trump -5 Cruz +40 as a result (mostly) of the Utah race. Bad news for supporters of Ted Cruz in the 2016 Presidential nominating contest. Cruz may be mathematically eliminated as early as […]

Polling in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, the first few states to hold primary / caucus elections has been plentiful. Other states have been a bit more sporadic. And looking at Real Clear Politics, several states have not had a poll in 4 or 5 months. For the more active polling states, RCP maintains […]

In most elections I find myself gravitating to the most Conservative candidate. I have supported Conservatives for every level of office. Sometimes my pick wins, sometimes not. Now I don’t fall for that “most Conservative that can win” claptrap. That is a dog whistle call for a RINO. They believe that chasing after the Democrats […]

Anonymous wrote this as a comment to my recent post on Trump and the original Magnitsky Act and I think it deserves a thorough response: I don’t think there is any due process burden on statements of condemnation. Saying the Magnitsky Act is an unconstitutional bill of attainder I think is wrong. Firstly, the implicated […]

While Ted Cruz has been mostly silent on criticism of Donald Trump, the same cannot be said about his supporters. There are a lot of people bashing Trump these days but none more vociferous than the Cruzers. And for the record, I am not blaming Cruz for the actions of his supporters. And the Trump […]

I am a frequent reader of Real Clear Politics. Most political junkies are very familiar with the site. They gather together a large number of polls and average the results. In theory, this smooths out the outlier (which are sometimes outright liars) and uses the average of the polls to give a better look at […]

Senator Cruz continues to capitalize on Dr. Ben Carson’s inexperience, gaining ground against Carson in Massachusetts. In October, Massachusetts polling data showed Trump with 48%, Carson with 14%, Rubio with 12%, and Cruz with only 5%. In one month, Trump has dropped to 32%, Rubio up to 18%, Cruz at 10%, and Carson dropping all […]

Former Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore was on the John Fredericks Show yesterday and here’s the audio of it.

He’s thoughtful and […]

I’ve often been bothered by the lack of policy and experience exhibited by the Carson and Trump camps. They resonate with voters. They speak our language. Yet, they refuse to run on actual policy. I think this is why they are winning in the polls, however. Voters aren’t looking for policy or reason or thoughtfulness. […]
