Outside the Beltway

For Donald Trump at least, the start of the General Election campaign is the perfect time to dredge up decades old conspiracy theories.

Some of the GOP’s top donors still aren’t sold on Donald Trump.

Even as it becomes more and more apparent that he cannot win the Democratic nomination for President, Bernie Sanders is not letting up on his rhetoric against the leadership of the party he claims he’ll support in November.

It’s not going to happen.

Several recent polls have shown the race between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton tightening, but it likely means far less than the media hype makes it sound like.

Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders split victories in Kentucky and Oregon last night, and Clinton is now less than 100 delegates away from an historic victory.

Bowe Bergdahl’s Court Martial has been delayed until 2017, which raises the possibility that comments by Donald Trump could result in Bergdahl getting off scot-free.

Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic nominee regardless of what happens in Kentucky and Oregon today, but her campaign is hoping for a win in Kentucky that puts an end to the repetitive stories about Bernie Sanders continuing to win primaries.

Donald Trump has announced that he would not be self-funding the General Election campaign. That’s probably because he really couldn’t afford to do so.

With Donald Trump now destined to become the GOP nominee, some Republican insiders are trying to put together another ‘too little, too late’ strategy to stop him.

Even before the 2016 convention, Republicans are talking about possible rules changes to stop another Trump-like candidate in 2020 or beyond.

As we begin to head into General Election season, a few things to remember about the avalanche of polls to come.

The walk backs begin.

Four years ago, Trump lavished praise on Hillary. Brilliant!

Regrets, he’s had a few…….

Bernie Sanders won another primary last night, but he continues to fall behind in the race for delegates nonetheless.

With the field before him now clear, Donald Trump is now assured to win the Republican Presidential Nomination. After that, though, his plans don’t seem to make a lot of sense.

Thanks largely to the fact that she has moved left on coal, Hillary Clinton seems likely to lose today’s West Virginia primary. But it will have only a minimal impact on Clinton’s quest for a delegate majority.

A first look at the Electoral College paints a very grim picture for Donald Trump and the GOP.

The rise of Trump and Sanders has resurrected a debate as old as Western civilization.

Answering a question that gets a lot.

Bill Kristol is continuing the #NeverTrump fight to its logical next step, trying to find a more mainstream Republican to run as an independent in the fall.

If you think this campaign has been awful, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

Paul Ryan is declining to back Donald Trump for the time being, but other Republicans are making their own choices.

In the immortal words of the Fonz, I was wr-wr-wr-wr . . . not exactly right.

With Donald Trump now confirmed as the GOP nominee, some conservatives are suggesting that the Senate GOP should just give in on the nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court.

If these numbers hold up, then the GOP may as well start planning for the 2020 primaries now.

In a rational universe somewhere, John Kasich is preparing to become the de facto Republican nominee for President. In ours, he’s dropping out in favor of Donald Trump.

Bernie Sanders won the Indiana Primary last night, but Hillary Clinton continues to accrue the delegates she needs to become the Democratic nominee.

Donald Trump’s win last night made him the presumptive Republican nominee, whether Republicans will unify around him is another question.

The GOP race for President takes yet another bizarre turn.

The results from today’s Indiana Primary will go a long way toward setting the course for the end of both party’s nomination fights.

Several top Republicans have already said that they would not accept a position on a ticket with Donald Trump, so who might he choose?

Donald Trump seems poised for another solid victory in Indiana tomorrow, while the effort to stop him from winning a majority of delegates looks to be running out of options.

For better or worse, Republicans seem to be resigning themselves to the inevitable.

In an unprecedented move that reeks of desperation, Ted Cruz is naming Carly Fiorina as his running mate before the primary process has even ended.

Another big night for Hillary Clinton, and more bad news for Bernie Sanders.

Another round of victories puts Donald Trump another step closer to the Republican nomination.

It may be the talk of Washington, but the political fight over Justice Scalia’s vacant Supreme Court seat does not seem to be something voters care very much about.

To the surprise of no one, the alliance between Ted Cruz and John Kasich is already falling apart.

With voters in five states set to go to the polls, both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are likely to make significant progress toward their quest for a majority of delegates in their respective contests.
