A CHOICE FOR DEMOCRATS.

Democrats have a choice. Go big, go bold, hit hard and win. Or, be careful, politically correct, don’t offend anyone and lose. Trump has demonstrated the power of hate and the big lie. It gives the base their sugar high. They’re going to need more, much more. Imagine what Trump will be willing to do in

NOT READY TO HATE TRUMP

I can't quite get to that “I hate Trump” spot where all sane folks are supposed to be. After all, I'm an Obama guy and have been from day one, so hating Trump should be a piece of cake, right? It isn't, trust me. Especially if hating Trump means I have to like Hillary, and,

POLITICS 2016: ANGER IN; POLITICAL CORRECTNESS OUT

Everybody's angry. Middle-aged and older white Christian men are angry big time. They think they're losing status to people they've been accustomed to looking down on. They sit in front of the TV for hours and watch FOX. The owner of FOX, Rupert Murdoch, a Jewish immigrant from Australia, serves up a steady diet of

REPUBLICAN DEBATE: THINGS YOU'LL HEAR AND THINGS YOU WON'T HEAR

YOU WILL HEAR 1. After I take the oath of office, the first call I'll make will be to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. I'll put our good friend Sheldon Adelson on the phone, and we'll all have a good laugh about the future of the “peace process”. Hilarious. Also, we'll have to talk about

REPUBLICAN FIELD WITH A YEAR TO GO

Trump is entertainer-in-chief, and CEO of any room he's in. He's got energy and he's a charmer. He can talk for hours as long as the subject is Trump. People could not care less if what he says isn't so. They just enjoy the show. Carson is the best guy in the field to have

DEBATE PREP: DOES DONALD TRUMP BELIEVE HIS OWN BS?

In the investment business, they say stockbrokers never get rich, because they don't believe their own BS. Trump is rich, having fun, and leading in the polls. So maybe he does believe his own BS. In any event, he has become, in the words of Eugene Robinson of The Washington Post, “A farce to be

IRAN DEAL OPPONENTS: THE FINAL PUSH

Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu's paid and volunteer hysterics, who claim the end will be near if the Iran Deal passes, have been temporarily driven to the sidelines by the media's fascination with all things Trump. Not to worry. They're coming back. Expect the richly-financed Iran Deal opponents to go into Armageddon Overdrive as we get closer

IRAN DEAL: TWO SUPREME LEADERS THREATENED BY PEACE

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Supreme Leader of the Republican-controlled United States Congress, can't quite get his brain around the idea that the United States may actually normalize relations with a country in the Middle East, the Islamic Republic of Iran, without his permission. From Netanyahu's point of view, how is he supposed to get

THE IRAN DEAL: IT COULD END IN IMPEACHMENT

Let's cut to the chase on the Iran Deal. It could end in Impeachment. If it comes to Impeachment, that would be a good thing. Why? Because it would give the country the benefit of a knock-down, drag-out brawl over the question of who runs foreign policy in the United States of America … the

IRAN DEAL: BETTER THAN 50-50

Congress will get its say, and it will get ugly, but the Iran Deal will make it across the finish line … as it should. The way things stand now, President Obama will only need one-third plus one vote in one of the Houses of Congress to avoid Congressional rejection of the Iran Deal. We
