When I cofounded Americans Elect during the 2012 election cycle, we set out to offer the American people a third choice for the presidency. Unlike this 2016 contest, what developed during that 2012 presidential race were two candidates--incumbent President Obama and former Gov. Mitt Romney--who satisfied the national palate for serious and thoughtful discussion about where our country was going. Despite the efforts of thousands of people over three years, there was no emergent reason during that cycle for the Americans Elect ticket.

Days after Brits voted to leave the EU, what will actually happen is far from certain. Millions have signed a petition for a second referendum, which Prime Minister David Cameron claims won't happen.

I'm feeling pretty disgusted with everything today. As most of my friends know, I lean a little to the right on the political spectrum. I'm pretty conservative on some things, and have some libertarian views on others. As far as the upcoming election goes, I don't think either candidate is the best either party could have produced, but Hillary wasn't my last choice, and Trump wasn't my first.  After all is said and done, they are the two we are going to choose between.

It's been a while since I've last addressed the role of expanded federalism historically, and its significance in the 2016 election.

Of all the things that really capture what American politics are about, it's the fact that our government can and does change -- sometimes the very foundation of our government, the Constitution itself.

Last month, House Speaker Paul Ryan’s (R-Wis.) lukewarm embrace ended months of speculation about the tenuous relationship between the Republican Party’s most prominent elected official and its standard bearer. We all knew Speaker Ryan would get to this point. It seems fitting that his explanation for supporting Donald Trump was as disingenuous as it was tepid.

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) — A new poll released today by USA Today/Suffolk University found that this presidential election is “sparking feelings of alarm” for most voters. The most striking finding is that 44% of those surveyed were undecided.
