There were 1600 seats. 600 of those seats were divided between the candidates. The remaining 1000 tickets were doled out by the RNC and the state party. Clearly, the folks sitting in those 1000 seats overwhelmingly consisted of Bush & Rubio supporters. FWIW, readers of Time Magazine's web site have ...

Jeb Bush is the only man who responded correctly as to this topic on the debate stage last night.

Kasich also gave a well reasoned answer, even though I don't agree with his conclusion.

Trump frequently has admitted (and has defended) taking business entities of his thru bankruptcy on the debate stage and in many interviews. This is nothing new and is not a grey area. Trump's response as to PP would've been fine had he elaborated further than simply saying "they do great things for...

Makes me glad I bought a Trane furnace over a Carrier a couple years back. What Carrier is doing is extremely disappointing. As for the debate, Trump looked more undisciplined than usual and said a couple things that won't sit well with GOP voters. Not a great night for him. He did land some good sh...

The company moving production to Mexico is Carrier, for the record.

Interesting...now Cruz is drawing some boos. He also just spoke in Spanish. I'm not making this up.

Cruz referred to the audience as "the donor class."

The CBS folks have asked some outstanding questions tonight.

Trump went overboard in his criticism of "W." To say he should've been impeached is not going to play well with many GOP voters.

Obama earned the right to nominate justices during his entire Presidential term, not just some of it. Should *all* matters before Congress be put on hold until the new President takes office? Irresponsible statements such as those made by McConnell could compel Obama to make a recess appointment, wh...

I completely disagree with waiting until the next President takes the oath of office to select a new justice. Doing so would be an abdication of constitutional duty. It's not as if we're days away from the general election. November is still many months away. If the nominee that President Obama puts...

I didn't always agree with the guy, but he was true to his principles.

His passing will have tremendous implications on public policy.

He'll be hosting a rally at the ridiculously oversized and underused EMU Convocation Center:

Is this Sanders' first campaign stop in Michigan?

To answer your question - yes, he is definitely the worst....EVER.

John Lund, Eric Pate, the "Mega Man" and Eli Zaret were all kinds of awful, but Leach is in a class all by himself.

Carson would be a miserable VP candidate. Trump needs someone with Washington or gubernatorial experience for that post.

Good analysis, Bryce. Thanks for posting that info. The spending differences are highly interesting.

I agree with your assessment. Cruz is in fine shape and has a good chance of making it to the convention.

New Hampshire loves populists; social conservatives almost always do poorly there. Cruz performed to expectations. If he places first or a respectable second in SC, he'll be fine. Ben Carson's showing was so abysmal that the media have moved on to other things. They are not even wasting a single bre...
