Christie's Disgrace
Chris Christie, who ran for president on the sober promise to tell it like it is and whose campaign was built around the urgency of entitlement reform and restoring US national security, on Friday endorsed Donald Trump, a national security ignoramus who is running for president adamantly opposed to any serious entitlement reform and whose campaign is built around outrage and egesta. It's a… → Read More
Kasich Finds Himself
Concord, N.H. John Kasich has discovered himself in New Hampshire. “I have found great clarity in New Hampshire, he says, about ten minutes into a town hall in the state's heavily Democratic capital city.

Lying About Gitmo
Let's begin with the conclusion: Barack Obama is releasing dangerous terrorists against the recommendations of military and intelligence professionals, he's doing so at a time when the threat level from radical Islamists is elevated, and he is lying about it. He is lying about how many jihadists he has released and lying about their backgrounds, all part of his effort to empty the detention… → Read More
The War in Vegas
Some passing observations on the Republican debate in Las Vegas: Status quo This was a status quo debate. It's hard to imagine that anything that took place on the stage at the Venetian will reshuffle the Republican race in a fundamental way. None of the second and third tier candidates – Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorina, Chris Christie, John Kasich, Rand Paul – did anything to suggest that he or she… → Read More

Despite the impression you might get if you take seriously the overheated rhetoric of presidential campaigns, the junior senator from Texas, who has a shot at the Republican nomination, is not a clone of the junior senator from Kentucky, who does not.
