I remember the first time I used the joke. I thought it was amazingly funny and would put my worst enemy in his place for good. But I had to wait for just the right time. It was at recess. We were standing in line to play four-square. He smirked and called me “barf-bag” (it was his favorite name). I looked right in his eyes and said, “You should sue whoever did that to your face.” And for the rest of the day, I was the toast of the second grade.
Democratic U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (Hawaii) announced her resignation as the vice chair of the DNC on NBC's Meet the Press Sunday, adding that she was also endorsing U.S.
A spokesperson for Assemblymember Kristin Olsen's office confirmed that, with the support of the
Independent Voter Project (authors of California's relatively new nonpartisan statewide primary system), a resolution will be filed in the California State Assembly on Friday that urges Secretary of State Alex Padilla to provide, in addition to the ballots issued for the political party primaries, a public presidential ballot that lists all the qualified candidates so that all voters have an opportun
The College of William and Mary and FairVote partnered with YouGov to conduct an online national survey of a representative sample of 1,000 Republican and independent voters on January 21-25 and February 4-8. Their innovative methodology incorporated presidential candidate rankings, issue analyses, and voter opinion on electoral reforms.
It's hard to criticize and poke fun at the Kansas political system, without taking a moment to pause and reflect on yesterday's sick carnage, one of the worst shooting rampages to happen in Kansas, in the small town of Hesston.
Analyses of policy proposals from Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Donald Trump, and Bernie Sanders estimate that their proposals would increase the national debt by about $8 to $30 trillion between 2016 and 2026.
The Democratic race is heating up, with Clinton leading Sanders by a very small margin. It has divided liberals across the country into Hillary and Bernie camps. But who are the people supporting Clinton and Sanders? Are they neighbors or are they geographically distant? More importantly, are they economically similar, or is there an income gap between them?
We took a look at the zip codes where one candidate most out-performs the other in fundraising - the places where one candidate has raised the most relative to the other.
Other than the Wizard of Oz, tornadoes, and the world's largest ball of twine, most people seldom think much about Kansas -- unless they are on the boring 425-mile trek on I-70 to get somewhere else. Politically, this state is no different. We're a flyover state -- solid red Republican territory that votes too late in the cycle to usually matter.
But since the last mid-term election in 2014, Kansas has been nothing but news politically, from an independent U.S. Senate candidate almost beating the sitting incumbent to allegations of systemic voter machine fraud.
The “three lanes” present in this year’s presidential primary are certainly the perfect storm for the GOP establishment. Today, the GOP elders’ calls to Ohio Governor John Kasich are likely getting more frantic, essentially telling him that he is now the spoiler for Marco Rubio’s chance to take the nomination from Donald J. Trump.
The elders would call Ted Cruz, but they don’t seem to have his number — not to mention that any accusation to Cruz that he is the spoiler would be met with reciprocal derision that Marco Rubio is the real culprit.
2016 is almost certain to be a year that political scientists and historians will study for decades to come. In a presidential election season where one party’s front runner has made forcing Mexico to build a wall to keep undocumented immigrants out a core component of his campaign while a competitive candidate in another party is advocating for free health care/education, it is clear that deep political fault lines have formed.
The death of Supreme Court Justice Scalia may be what causes an actual political earthquake.
