RNC Chair: GOP ‘Cooked’ if No Win in 2016

The Republican Party is now in a last-ditch effort to save itself – and the only answer is presidential victory, according to Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus. Speaking with the Washington Examiner, Priebus explained, “We’re seeing more and more that if you don’t hold the White House, it’s very difficult to govern in this country – especially in Washington D.C. However, I think that we may have become, unfortunately, a midterm party that doesn’t lose and presidential party that’s had a really hard time winning.”

Re-Defining Left and Right in the 2016 Election

The dominant media culture loves to define everything it doesn’t like as “right-wing,” from milquetoast center-right U.S. politicians to North Korea. Somehow people who aggressively make the case that American government is too large get sorted into the same end of the political spectrum as the biggest and most oppressive governments of all. Certain out-and-proud socialists of the past century are caricatured as “right-wing,” even though they put “socialist” right in their Party name.

Marco Rubio Warns: ISIS Wants To Conquer The World

“They are not simply satisfied with controlling Afghanistan, or Syria or Iraq, they want to conquer the world,” Marco Rubio explained about ISIS in an interview with Fox News. “They initially want to go after our allies, they want to destroy Israel but ultimately they want to come after us here in the United States and they are actively trying to do it now.”

Donald Trump vs. Ben Carson: Energy vs. Ideology

The intriguing similarity between Donald Trump and Ben Carson is that both continually defy conventional wisdom and flourish despite coordinated media/Democrat attacks. That’s partially because so many voters have come to despise the corrupt system, and they’re weary of hyper-sensitive freakout-prone popular culture.

FBI Agents Angered By Obama’s Attempt to Influence Hillary Clinton Investigation

If we weren’t so numb to lawlessness and politicized bureaucracy from seven years of Obama scandals, this would be a national outrage. The President just tried to influence the outcome of a criminal investigation, on behalf of a powerful Democrat politician. Of course, he loves to insert himself into politically useful criminal matters, while having nothing to say about politically damaging ones, such as sanctuary-city murders by illegal aliens.

Donald Trump Accidentally Raised Almost As Much As Rubio

Donald Trump’s campaign collected $4 million in the third quarter, roughly the same as Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. Trump himself contributed $100,000 to the campaign in the third quarter. The more interesting fact, though, is that almost 75,000 people also sent his campaign money, with an average contribution of $50, without any fundraising outreach, solicitation, or even obvious way to do so.

Abedin is also at the center of Clinton’s private email scandal and various other controversies involving her work for the private consulting firm Teneo Holdings, having recruited a State Department official to the firm on her government email address while on a trip to Cambodia with Clinton.
