The point is, Trump voters were blitzed with many, many sources saying he couldn't unite the party--so is it news when Hogan and other Republicans won't support him?
I'm not crowing--I'm saying that Trump voters ignored the rest of the base and can't seem to figure out why the base won't unite. Hogan won't support Trump? So what. Seems like half of the GOP won't, either.
I don't disagree with you regarding the GOP and its attitude toward its members. That doesn't change the idea that he cannot unite the base nor the fact that his supporters were warned as much throughout the campaign.
In conservative circles during the primaries, Trump supprters were warned that he couldn't unite the base (among other things) and that insisting upon him was a win for HRC. But now Trump fans are acting like this is a first heard. Should HRC win this November, there will be plenty of blame to...
Then again, there's the other side of the argument: the Trump folks lost their minds and voted for an unpalatable candidate. It's one thing to lose faith in party leadership, but it's a different thing to expect the majority of conservatives to get behind someone less liked than HRC.
Fools...
Perhaps the biggest problem with this law is how the Bloomberg folks sold it to Washington voters. Few really knew what the actually did, as most though it merely closed the gun show sales "loophole."
The newly passed firearms laws in Washington state, where my family is, require a transfer. When I come back (if I in fact get the gig), I'd have to transfer them back. I'm guessing this would invalidate the pre-2013 grandfathering of several of my firearms.
Bart is good peeps, and I'd trust...
Thoughts on how to store pre-2013 firearms while on a multi-year position? (If this happens, dependents would be coming with, I couldn't bring firearms, and out-of-state family would require an FFL.)
Would I be hosed?
This.
And this.
We have maybe five legit contenders and 10 people who are either crazy, seeking publicity, or making a bid for a cabinet job. If any of them cared about this country they'd gracefully bow out.
The left gets away with it because the public does nothing to stop it. The American public collectively voted in a socialist with almost no political experience or concern beyond partesian perceptions. We also continually vote in representatives who act like fools.
Congress requires...
Srsly, this is crazy talk. What is any of this based on?
As far as Obama goes, don't lose sight of the real issues:
Election year, pandering to the base, and rabble rousing the "other side."
Failed foreign policies that have grave international implications.
Serious criminal behavior...
Way too early to call Bush. A lot of time, money, and narrative left unspent--not to mention the prime donors are sitting on their money till the field narrows. Several candidates are pushing for the same pot of donor money (Bush, Rubio, Jindal at a minimum). Personally, I don't see Bush beating...
That's kinda wishful. Stats or storyline failing in one state? Why, use the leftist-bought "research" for a triumphant story that says, "see it DOES work..."

This doesn't pass the smell test. Theoretically having a clearance raises risk as you say, but can you think of a single domestic case of clearance-centered violence?
Mandating that voters pass basic civics and economic exams. Voter ID laws. Term limits for lap three branches. A better education system. Mandated daily calisthenics. Less filler and better taste.
You know, there've been quiet ruminations about her health. Curiously none about her age, which is a legitimate consideration. I wondered about that, too, for Kerry when WaPo published something about him running a month or two ago.
She is the plan b candidate for Dems IMO. She's genuinely...
In 2008 he was elected against a much-disliked Hillary and an imploding McCain ticket. His charisma alone--and the lack thereof from his adversaries--was why he won.
In 2012, it factored less because he needed to avoid making it about his record. He still beat Romney in part because of the...
