CNN political analyst David Gergen said Wednesday that action to counter climate change has become a "moral imperative" as Hurricane Dorian inched its way up the East Coast. During a discussion of a recent trip to Greenland on "CNN Newsroom," Gergen claimed U.S. cities should prepare for massive flooding if polar ice caps continue to melt. “I went [to Greenland] thinking it was a practical imperative to deal with climate change. I came away feeling it’s a moral imperative," he said. "When you see what’s happening in Greenland, it is an early -- it's an early set of signals about...

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: COOPER: "David, how serious is this for the Trump Administration?" GERGEN: "Well, it certainly looks like the dam is starting to break, Anderson, after a long while. I think we're going to be in expense suspense over the next couple of days as to what charges are. If they're about money laundering that's going to send a shutter through the warehouse. What that'll suggest is two things, first of all, the president has been wrong there's nothing to this. There's probably cause to believe in Mueller's mind that in fact crimes were committed. And in that zone --...

Dave Gergen was the kindest boss I ever had. He was in charge of me for most of the time I toiled happily as a speechwriter for Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford in 1973 and 1974. Intelligent, witty, a loving and caring man. I still run into him from time to time at lush watering spots. Still always a man to be admired. That’s why I was surprised today to read that Dave had said that Mr. Trump’s first 100 days were the worst of any President ever. Really, Dave ? Worse than Lincoln’s first 100 days? When 11 southern...

Gergen didn't mince words last night on CNN, as Trump's victory lap last night in Cincinnati met with scorn and derision from the CNN contributor. "This is goodbye to American leadership in the world. Goodbye to globalization. He’s bringing America home. He’s going to lead a nativist, nationalistic, populist movement and if you want to join up with him fine. If you don’t, forget it.” “I knew I didn’t like the son of a bitch"

Amid a chorus of GOP criticism for the FBI’s decision not to recommend charges against Hillary Clinton, one Republican political analyst is standing behind the agency’s verdict, calling it “the FBI’s finest hour” on "CNN Newsroom" Wednesday morning. David Gergen, a former adviser to four U.S. presidents and a senior political analyst for CNN, bucked party lines in an opinion piece as well, calling those who disagree with FBI Director James Comey's decision "embittered partisans.”

Wednesday on his radio show, conservative talker Rush Limbaugh questioned CNN’s David Gergen for his assertion that Breitbart editor at large Peter Schweizer’s book “Clinton Cash” had been discredited following a speech in which presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump had widely cited the book. Limbaugh pointed out that other major media outlets had used it in their reporting and that it was possible Gergen was making the assumption that it had been discredited without actually having any evidence to back it up.

“I was really surprised he leaned as heavily as he did upon the Schweizer book, Clinton Cash—that book has been basically discredited,” Gergen said. “Other news organizations have looked at it and said he has no evidence, he has no evidence that shows money given by donors to the Clinton Foundation then resulted in actions by the State Department that favored those donors.” Gergen also claimed later on CNN that the speech was “slanderous” and again claimed that the book has been “widely discredited.” Gergen’s claim couldn’t be further from the truth and proves he clearly has not read the...

CNN Senior Political Analyst David Gergen argued that talk radio host Hugh Hewitt’s interview with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump did have “gotcha questions” on Thursday’s broadcast of “AC360.”

In a sign of liberal panic, NPR's Diane Rehm Show spent its first hour Monday questioning President Obama's management style. As their website elaborated on the Healthcare.gov fiasco and the NSA spying on world leaders, "the latest embarrassments have even some of the president’s supporters questioning his management style." To insure that their comments weren't too upsetting to Obama-loving NPR listeners, several journalists -- Ruth Marcus of the Washington Post and David Gergen of CNN -- insisted the Obama administration has been "relatively scandal-free" in its operations: MARCUS: This is not a scandal in the traditional sense of scandal. And...

CNN senior political analyst David Gergen made a statement on CBS's Face the Nation Sunday that was rather hawkish for a former Clinton adviser. "If [President Obama] doesn't respect his own red line on Syria, there is no question that Israel and Iran will look at that and say, 'Well, we can't trust the guy. He’s not going to be tough.'"

Blame it on the testosterone! Former White House insider-turned-public leadership prof David Gergen weighed in on the Beltway’s big sex scandal yesterday, telling a packed ballroom of health care pros that powerful leaders possess an overabundance of manly hormones. “But men are men; the best sometimes forget,’” said Gergen, quoting a line from Shakespeare’s “Othello.”

Yesterday, based on proven falsehoods, the Obama campaign floated the idea that Mitt Romney might be a "felon." That is appalling behavior coming from a sitting United States President and had Romney done the same to Obama, the media would've created a perfect storm demanding he either back it up or walk it back -- and rightfully so. Obama's entire Bain spree has been nothing but lies and irresponsible, outrageous charges. Negative campaigning is one thing, lying and hurling words like "felony" is something completely different. That the media will not hold Obama accountable for this reprehensible behavior is as...

CNN's political analyst David Gergen remarked Monday that many Americans were "horrified" at what they heard from the Republican presidential debate, co-sponsored by the Tea Party Express and CNN. "I was getting notes about they ought to keep this people locked up and not let them out. Don't let them do anything to the country," Gergen remarked. Gergen's comments came in the post-debate analysis and during the 10 p.m. EDT hour of Anderson Cooper 360. He mentioned that Tea Partiers "loved the debate" and pitted them in contrast with the many on Twitter who expressed their disgust with the debate....

David Gergen not surprisingly believes that increased federal spending on education - or "investments" as Democrats like to say - is essential irrespective of our nation's current fiscal crisis. On "Anderson Cooper 360" following the President's State of the Union address, former Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer did his darnedest to explain to the CNN senior political analyst that our mammoth budget deficits should first be brought under control before any additional outlays are considered (video follows with transcript and commentary): DAVID GERGEN, CNN SENIOR POLITICAL ANALYST: I agree but let me ask Ari this question, Anderson. Because Republicans have...

If only this were a coalition of the left and the right working out differences. But alas, it’s just a coalition of mostly liberal politicians who used to label themselves by a political party and now would rather fly stealth. Sigh. If you are not familiar with “No Lables”, no worries, it’s brand new and they certainly deserve a Hat Tip for brevity. Here’s their declaration: We are not labels – we are people. We care deeply about our country. We are frustrated and concerned about the tone of politics. We are passionate about addressing America’s challenges. We are Democrats,...

Well the TRUTH about President Obama's popularity is coming out in the wash. Buried in this week’s CNN poll, the one that reveals, “The One”, would be voted out of office if the election were held today, is a breakdown of voter preference by race. White’s now prefer a new president by better than 60%. Since whites make up the majority of voters in this country, and since Obama could not get reelected without the “white vote”, it seems significant, but personally, I find it absurd.

It's all about health care. The race to replace Ted Ken nedy in the US Senate has come down to one issue, and it's not Sen. Kennedy's "legacy." It's the misshapen health-care bills that have scared the bejesus out of an ever-growing majority of American voters, even in this bluest of states...

President Obama fired the imagination of the country during his campaign, but the glow has faded It is fashionable these days to decry the quality of American leaders, and why not?Not long ago, we celebrated our CEOs as the new masters of the universe; some paid themselves as if they thought so, too, and their faces graced the covers of magazines everywhere. But last year, that universe imploded, and taxpayers were forced to come to the rescue. As Bill George of the Harvard Business School argues, we have come to realize that the economic crisis was less a matter of...
