- Trump And The Negotiation Gambit
From Scott Adams at the Dilbert Blog: One thing we know about Donald Trump is that he doesn’t apologize. He doesn’t apologize when he is wrong. He doesn’t apologize when he is offensive. He doesn’t apologize for mistakes. As crazy as that...
- Hey, Karl, Can You Hear Me Now?
Over and over, Karl Rove and his various mouthpieces have declared: "Donald Trump will not be the nominee." Back in October, I tried to tell one of the inner circle (an individual whom I will not, at this point, name): "If you don't get out in front...

[Bio sketch of David Horowitz] From Front Page Magazine: If Mitt Romney had given the speech that Donald Trump did today, and if he had followed its strategy during the third presidential debate with Obama on foreign policy, he would have won the 2012...
- Kasich As Trump's Vp?
It wouldn't be a bad choice. Kasich can deliver Ohio. We saw that. And he has one every single election he ran for. Is Trump warming to Kasich as his running mate after the last debate? If Donald Trump manages to win the...

Trump States the Obvious about the Press
"YOU ARE AN OBNOXIOUS BLOWHARD"
From Roger Simon at PJM:
Oh, the vapors, the vapors... Donald Trump, while detailing his veteran donations at a news conference, thoroughly dissed the press and called a reporter "sleazy." (Hillary Clinton, it's worth noting, doesn't do that. She can't because, although running for president, she hasn't had a news conference in 2016.)
Well, of course Donald did because they are mostly sleazy, all of them, including me. I'm particularly sleazy when I'm reporting, slightly less so when I'm writing an opinion piece. And that's the point — it's all opinion when you examine it closely, reporting not so much. Nothing is really objective. It can't be. We're all biased for one obvious reason — we're human. Ever meet an unbiased human? It was probably a corpse. An old one.
And as for journalists as a class, Joan Didion put it best in her introduction to her classic Slouching toward Bethlehem: "writers are always selling somebody out.”
Reporters are most sleazy when they pretend to be objective, following diligently in the footsteps of the Grey Lady herself and her onetime motto "All the news that's fit to print."
Only the Times chose what news fit, not to mention what news "fit" on the front page and what on page twenty-four. Bias anyone? (It took years for the Times to put Auschwitz on the front page.)GO READ THE WHOLE THING.
