So here's what happened in states (like Michigan) with open primaries: Thousands of Democrats showed up to vote for Trump in Republican primaries, thinking that if he became the GOP nominee, Hillary would easily cream him in the general election. They called it "strategic voting". I think it's safe ...

No amount of government regulation will change anything. It's only when we rethink our mindset that things will change. Example: Most of us (me included....I'm guilty as anyone) shop at big-box stores that pay low wages, sell cheap foreign-made goods, and drive out small businesses. Why? Because we ...

Trump has an important choice to make here. He can appoint qualified competent people to his cabinet, or he can return political favors. I had no doubt that he made backroom deals with Gingrich, Christie, Giuliani and Palin in exchange for their endorsements. What those deals may have been or what t...

This comes up whenever there is a discrepancy between the electoral vote and the popular vote. Had the situation be the reversed, the Republicans would be the ones calling for the dismantling of the Electoral College. Just the way it goes. The Electoral College exists for a reason. The Founding Fath...

He i$ in it for the maximum exposure.

Yep! Walter Winchell he ain't!

I don't think it's right either way - but first take the plank out! Reminds me of when Matt Drudge posted the blown-up screen shot of that quarter-second from Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction". Here kids....have a real good look at something you probably missed the first time around! 8o 8o

Gotta blow the wistle on this my friend. Hate and bigotry was certainly legitimate well before President Elect T Rump came on the scene. As a matter of fact, I know someone that is biggoted and filled with hate for people that, when simply trying to provide for their family and feed their children,...

I think everybody just needs to calm down and take a moment. It's no secret that fringe groups like the KKK supported Trump's campaign, but that doesn't mean that everyone who voted for him wears white sheets and burns crosses. Despite what the white-supremacist clowns may think about the outcome of...

I would disagree on the last part - I see it as gateway drug. I think sale and possession in public should be severely restricted to the very rare cases of medical use. I don't think we should be raiding a person's home or enclosed yards over personal quantities of it. I guess we'll have to agree t...

Gary Johnson was so pro-pot it made my roll my eyes (He is/was pot company CEO), so Gary Johnson did nothing to dispel the pot notion. Understandable, although I'm probably more "liberal" on the whole pot thing. I put it in quotes because I actually see marijuana legalization/decriminalization as m...

Why did it take so long to call Michigan? It wasn't that close. It's not like they were going to make a difference. Was it for a future call for eliminating the Electoral College, something that the parties blow hot and cold on depending on the particular election? And why was the Gary Johnson vote...

I have to congratulate Donald Trump. Like him or not, he ran a hell of a campaign and pulled off what was seemingly impossible 17 months ago. I also found his victory speech to be appropriately gracious. For the record, I was part of the 4% who cast votes for Gary Johnson. I've never been a "lesser ...

I do miss our St. Johns Kmart, just because it was a nice quiet alternative to the Walmart down the road. Problem is, it was a little too quiet, so when the end finally came a few years back, nobody was really surprised. In fact, I'm amazed they stuck it out as long as they did.

re: Trump - he's been playing the media like a fiddle since the day he entered the race, and his opposition still has yet to figure out how to stop it. Trump's media savvy existed long before this presidential race, and the media isn't stupid either. They know what sells widgets. He's a showman, mu...

It is amusing watching you all speculate and try to read his mind without a shred of evidence to back up any of your theories. What evidence is there to support any theory that Mr. Carson is acting with an ulterior motive? Umm....isn't speculation what this forum is all about? Look at the free publ...
