She’s baaaaaaack! Today Donald Trump received by far the most significant endorsement for his campaign for the presidency from former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. In a well-scripted event in Ames, Iowa, televised live on all three major cable networks, the 2008 GOP nominee for vice-president delivered an enthusiastic seal of approval for the billionaire front-runner […]
Pre-season is almost over in the 2016 Presidential campaign with the Iowa caucuses debuting the voting season in just two weeks, on Monday, February 1st. Last night, the Democrats had their final debate before the voting beings while the Republicans had their first debate of the month last Thursday, with another one coming in 10 […]
Who won the debate Tuesday night, the last one in 2015 for the Republicans vying for their party’s nomination to be the next President of the United States? With a heavy emphasis in the debate on fighting terrorism and foreign policy, here’s my quick ranking of the performance of the nine participants in the main […]

It’s been two weeks now since the Republican presidential debate on CNN and, since I can’t help myself, thought I would share a few thoughts about what’s happening in the race right now. The most significant development is that Donald Trump’s support has softened since that debate. It seems clear that his act is starting […]
It’s been five days since the CNN debate and the verdict is unanimous: not only was Carly Fiorina the clear winner of the debate but the result has been a massive upward bump in the polls, positioning the former Hewlett-Packard CEO as the 2nd highest-ranked Republican in the presidential nomination derby. The biggest loser: Scott Walker. […]
Unlike 24 million other Americans, I did not watch the Republican primary debate last Thursday night on Fox News. I was enjoying a fun cocktail party at the Santa Barbara Zoo as the fireworks went off on the debate stage in Cleveland. But it will not surprise anybody who knows me that I recorded the […]
