I understand your point, muttly. The counter-protesters in Charlottesville broke the rules. They gathered without a permit. They acted with violence. Some of them equipped themselves for a fight and they came to fight. In so doing they denied others their rights. They were wrong to act in such...

Yes. a defining moment in the Trump presidency. It's not a joke. I'm not trying to be funny. By defining moment, I mean a very precise incident (the press conference) in which something happened that changed how people see things. This is the moment that Republicans resolved themselves to the...

Some months ago I offered here the prediction that the Republicans who have the power to do so will move to impeach Trump. Significant movement in that direction developed today when Trump disbanded two of his business advisory councils. He did so because the council members, who are some of...

Yesterday, while reading the news, I stumbled upon the Centrist Project. While participation in this EO forum has provided fun breaks from work and truly interesting conversations, it does not leave me with a feeling that it is meaningful political involvement. By meaningful, I mean taking...

Once again ... the Hillary card. While I do not disagree that Hillary should be investigated, it is not the case that just because Hillary or Obama did something wrong, it is OK for Trump to do something wrong too.

I don't want to take the time to do the research but a couple things come immediately to mind. Failure to disclose meetings on security clearance forms requiring them to be updated later, more than once. Failure to release tax return (not required but something previous presidents did). Lying...

That's why I think it's in Trump's best interests to cooperate fully. The sooner Mueller concludes the investigation and issues his report, the sooner Trump's MSM foes will lose that issue to talk about. Granted, they'll likely remain critical of Trump on other topics, but that's no reason for...

"This is a war:: Trump goes on offensive to spread distrust of Mueller investigation So, it appears we are going to hear a lot more about the Mueller investigation from Trump and his re-election committee, and it is not likely to be complimentary. The new Chief of Staff (Kelly) is having no...

You are correct if you are talking about winning the presidency alone but there is more to voting results than that. Everybody planning a campaign locally and for the 2018 elections consider the local 2016 voting results to be an item of profound significance. These people literally carry plan...

I came across an interesting question this morning that opened new thoughts for me in political debate. It's a fill-in-the-blank question which can be used for anything that comes to mind. I filled in the blank with "Donald Trump." When I did, new possibilities emerged in my political thinking...

No it's not. It is a clear fact that Hillary got more popular votes than Donald did and facts matter. It is also a clear fact that Trump won the electoral college vote and that is why he is in the White House and not Hillary. I am not one of those who say Trump is not my president. The system...

It seems so. And worse for them still, they seem to be unable to draft a meaningful message or connect with a majority block in a meaningful way. They stand in opposition to one of the most polarizing and agitating presidents in history and they stand like a deer in the headlights. The...

I care. At the very least it presents an appearance of impropriety that public officials should avoid. At worst, it may stand a full-blown conflict of interest that opens the door to an abuse of the power and office the American people vested in Trump, to serve them, not to serve himself...

So, in the next 2018 House of Representatives election, are you going to vote Republican, Democrat, someone else or not at all?
