Outside the Beltway

Are these the faces of Clinton voters? George P. Bush thinks so.

I’ve been something of a political news junkie for 40 years now. This year has burned me out.

Seven days from now, millions of Americans will be headed to the polls. So far at least, Hillary Clinton is still the front runner.

For now at least, it looks as though last week’s email news is having little impact on the state of the race for President.

Her numbers are steady; he’s reclaiming Republican voters.

Two Republican Senators are exchanging barbs over the idea that the GOP should block any attempt by Hillary Clinton to nominate anyone to the Supreme Court if she becomes President.

Initial reports for the third quarter show strong economic growth during the summer;

According to reports, Vice-President Biden is on a Clinton campaign short list for Secretary of State.

Get ready for more hearings if Hillary Clinton becomes President.

Clinton is getting no special treatment by the standards of her high-powered peers.

Republican candidates for the Senate and House are campaigning on the argument that they will be a bulwark against a Clinton Presidency.

Two weeks before Election Day, everything seems to be going Hillary Clinton’s way.

While not quite the great unskewing of argument past, here is an example of why non-experts need to avoid critiquing polling.

Has any major party nominee for president ever damaged his reputation in this manner?

Donald Trump is losing something much more important to him that an election.

The final debate of 2016 didn’t draw as many viewers as the first Hillary v. Donald match-up, but it still drew a respectable number.

Last night’s debate, sadly, lived down to my expectations.

For better or worse, the third Presidential debate will largely be remembered for one thing.

With the lone exception of Bill Clinton in 1996, Arizona hasn’t gone for a Democrat since 1948. That streak could end this year.

With twenty-one days to go until Election Day, things are looking very good for Hillary Clinton.

More evidence that Trump would be a terrible president.

Candidate trumps party in a presidential system.

With just over three weeks before Election Day, efforts by top Republicans to disavow their party’s nominee are quite clearly too little, too late.

News outlets are suddenly finding out that Trump was a cad in 2005. Film at 11.

Donald Trump is facing potential trouble in a state that has gone for a Democrat only twice since the end of World War II.

Viewership for the second debate fell some twenty percent from the first debate, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that voter are losing interest.

Paul Ryan is abandoning the Trump campaign.

Last night’s debate was indeed the low point everyone anticipated it would be, but it seems unlikely to change the status quo.

Trump was alternately somnambulant, petulant, stalking, incoherent, and dangerous.

As we head into the second Presidential debate, Hillary Clinton looks to be in very good shape.

Some early musings on a political fantasy that’s less implausible than it was 12 hours ago.

Republicans are abandoning Donald Trump in droves after last night’s revelation of lewd remarks he made in 2005.

An 11-year-old tape of the Republican nominee making misogynistic comments should surprise no one.

Damon Linker writes, “Millions of people disagree with your political views. That doesn’t make them moral monsters.”

The September Jobs Report continues to show an economy that is growing to some degree, but hardly growing as fast as it should be.

Even if Donald Trump loses next month, the political forces inside the GOP he tapped into are likely to remain very powerful.

Tuesday night’s running mate debate had lower viewership than any such encounter in sixteen years.

Donald Trump is doing worse with white voters than Mitt Romney did in 2012.

It’s possible that Mike Pence won and Donald Trump still lost. It won’t matter.

Nothing that happens tonight during the Vice-Presidential debate is likely to matter, so feel free to skip it.

With five weeks to go, the momentum in the race is moving decidedly in Hillary Clinton’s favor.
