Detroit News endorses ridiculous ticket. Note: In the interest of disclosure I guess I should mention that I used to be a Detroit News contributor. Not sure why it would matter, but there you go. You may have read that the Detroit News “for the first time in its 143 history” endorsed a presidential candidate that wasn’t a Republican. Technically that’s true, but the paper also failed to endorse a Republican in 2004, when it refused to lend its support to George W Bush. That’s fine, and it’s their right to do so, but what they did today makes absolutely...

"Again, disappointment doesn’t even begin to describe my feelings.” Beck, who supported Cruz over Trump in the GOP’s presidential primary, added he feared for the nation’s future. “America is an idea, not a country,” he said. "When we discuss the destruction of our country, that is vastly different...

After Cruz was booed at the Republican National Convention for refusing to endorse Trump, the GOP presidential nominee tore into his formal rival. Trump predicted at the time that Cruz would eventually endorse, but said that “if he gives it, I will not accept it.” "He'll come and endorse in the next little while because he has no choice. … I don't want his endorsement. Ted, stay home, relax, enjoy yourself." But when Cruz’s endorsement came Friday in the form of a lengthy Facebook...

I knew it would come.

Ted Cruz supporters were alarmed Wednesday at suggestions that he was on the verge of endorsing Donald Trump. They worry that the Texas senator could squander his brand as a fighter — and goodwill earned among many through his stubborn refusal to back his party's nominee — if he caves with nothing to show for it. Cruz has held out on the grounds that Trump is insufficiently conservative, and because Trump attacked his wife and father down the stretch of their heated battle for the Republican nomination. The senator even took the extraordinary step of declining to endorse Trump during...

The 2016 election affords the American people an urgently needed opportunity to make a long-overdue course correction in our national security posture and policy. As retired senior leaders of America’s military, we believe that such a change can only be made by someone who has not been deeply involved with, and substantially responsible for, the hollowing out of our military and the burgeoning threats facing our country around the world. For this reason, we support Donald Trump’s candidacy to be our next Commander-in-Chief. (snip)

PITTSBURGH, Pa., July 30 - Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton toured the U.S. Rust Belt on Saturday, promising to reject bad international trade deals during a factory visit and securing the endorsement of investor Mark Cuban at a Pittsburgh rally. The Dallas Mavericks owner, who said as recently as last month that there was a "good chance" he would vote for Donald Trump, instead criticized the Republican nominee's leadership in front of an energetic crowd.

Hillary Clinton is using part of Ted Cruz's controversial convention speech to troll Donald Trump Hillary Clinton used part of Sen. Ted Cruz's controversial speech at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday to troll Donald Trump.

In a tweet on Wednesday, the Clinton campaign echoed Cruz's sentiments. "Vote your conscience," Clinton tweeted, linking to a page on the website where users can check their voter registration.

Cruz killed his political career tonight. He became personally embittered about Donald Trump and found himself temperamentally unable to endorse Trump for President. By doing this, he strengthened Hillary's campaign and the potential for the destruction of America. Cruz didn't have to do this. He could have stayed true to his convictions, as misguided as they are, and still endorsed Trump. As Cruz noted, the Republican Party was established in order to abolish slavery and free black people in America. Abraham Lincoln was our first President. People may be unaware of this, but midway through the Civil War the Grand...
