PPP's new Pennsylvania poll finds a close race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump in the state, although both a generic Democratic candidate and Bernie Sanders have more substantial leads that bode well for Clinton's chances if she can get the party unified around her in the weeks ahead. Clinton has 41% to 40% for Trump, with Gary Johnson at 6% and Jill Stein at 3%. In a head to head match up, Clinton and Trump tie at 44%. Similarly to what we found on the Florida poll we released yesterday, Republicans are more unified around Trump (79/8) than Democrats...

“Killary Clinton is stealing the nomination and the system is rigged against Bernie Sanders,” said the two young white guys standing behind me in line. They rambled incessantly about how she was cheating and could not be trusted. Superdelegates were their greatest frustration. Unelected delegates who could “decide” the nomination proved that the process was a sham that was intentionally set up to prevent Sanders from winning. At first I tried to ignore the conversation and thought they were Trump supporters (“Killary” is usually a right-wing thing). But once it became clear that these guys were Sanders supporters, I had...

The protestors who attacked Donald Trump’s supporters Thursday afternoon in San Jose were “a bunch of thugs,” Trump said at his Friday rally in Redding, California. “Last night in San Jose we had an amazing, packed crowd,” said Trump. “It was a love fest inside, no problems whatsoever."

One of Hillary Clinton’s key supporters – an Israeli billionaire who has donated more than $15 million to her presidential campaign and troubled family foundation – used a controversial Panamanian law firm to set up offshore companies and once admitted to a Senate panel that he used phony investment losses to dodge hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes. Television and entertainment magnate Haim Saban, an Egyptian-born Israeli who made a fortune off of the “Power Rangers" children’s TV franchise and holds a lucrative stake in Univision, is among thousands of international movers and shakers whose names have surfaced in...

While kinda sorta stumbling into an understanding of why Trump won the nomination. I am sure every Donald Trump supporter in this nation lies awake at night wondering, “What does Jeb Bush think of me? He doesn’t think I’m an idiot, does he? Because I don’t think I could handle that!” Rest easy, sweet pups. I have wonderful news for you. No, Jeb does not think you’re a bunch of idiots. In his classic low-energy way, Jeb! has given you all absolution for any hint of idiocy:

Why Sanders is lying when he says he doesn’t approve of violence perpetrated on his behalf. The reason Bernie Sanders pointedly refuses to condemn his supporters for throwing chairs and making death threats against Democrat officials at and after the party’s Nevada convention is because he doesn’t actually object to their violent behavior. Sanders blew off pressure from Democrat leaders to disavow ugly tactics by his supporters at the event Saturday evening, calling the complaints “nonsense” and arguing that his supporters were not treated with “fairness and respect.” The pro-violence radicalism among Sanders supporters comes straight from the top

A pro-life organization that has spent decades working to try to get corporations to stop giving financial donations to the Planned Parenthood abortion business has released a revised listing of companies backing the abortion giant. Life Decisions International has released a revised edition of The Boycott List, which identifies corporations that support Planned Parenthood, which does more abortions than any other business in the nation. The organziation tells LifeNews.com that more than 334 corporations have agreed to stop funding Planned Parenthood in the decades that it has been working to divorce corporate America from the abortion industry. LDI makes a...

The marriage of political convenience between Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) was tested less than 12 hours into the honeymoon, as Kasich told reporters that he still wanted votes from his supporters in Indiana. "I’ve never told 'em not to vote for me," Kasich told reporters at a campaign stop in Philadelphia. "They ought to vote for me. But I'm not over there campaigning and spending resources."

WOW! Megyn Kelly has broadened her war on Trump.Now, she’s not just dedicating her program to Trump-bashers but she’s openly attacking Donald Trump supporters. Megyn tweeted out this comment by Trump-hater Ben Domenech… “Ben Domenech: If Trump supporters want to come to Cleveland & riot…let them & they will find out what the party of law & order is all about.” So Megyn is now pushing the myth that Trump supporters are violent rioters. Sick. Progressives Today responded:

After shutting down the Donald Trump UIC rally far left activists are switching tactics.Today leftist activists infiltrated Donald Trump’s rally wearing Hitler armbands.These far left activists are Hillary supporters.Will Hillary Clinton be forced to denounced this outrageous stunt? Doubtful.  

World leaders are calling her privately to ask if they can endorse her presidential campaign in hopes of stopping Donald Trump, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Sunday. A Trump presidency would hurt America's standing in the world, Clinton argued. "I am already receiving messages from leaders, and I am having foreign leaders ask if they can endorse me to stop Donald Trump," Clinton said during a CNN Democratic forum. "And I am like, 'No, this is up to Americans, thank you very much."

A new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll indicates one third of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders' supporters cannot see themselves voting for Hillary Clinton in November. This could spell trouble for Clinton who will likely need Sanders' backers...

Hey Trumpsters/Breitbart/Drudge... talking to you here: How the hell can you continue to support such a fowl-mouthed, disingenuous boor like Donald Trump? For President of the United States of America...?  There is nothing so d__n special about him that compels you -or anybody- to put up with this kind of language, tone, and monumental dishonesty. He's not a conservative, he's not a good Christian, and he's obviously not even a good role model... the televised, public rallies could be rated R.  Donald Trump has absolutely no right to talk and act like this- the guy is simply way out of line.  What kind...

As the Donald Trump phenomenon endures, it's become fashionable to make a certain kind of excuse for the boorishness of his backers, if not The Donald himself. "Don't blame them" is the theme of front-page stories and much-discussed magazine essays. The economy left them behind, the world doesn't work like they were promised it would as young people, and we have to understand. They're angry, and should be.

It saddens me greatly to say that Sarah Palin is wrong. She needs to be standing by Ted Cruz’s side and supporting his proven record of long-time support for pro-life/pro-marriage/pro-family issues. Instead, she has chosen to support Donald Trump whose “record” and lifestyle are anything but conservative. Yesterday, Steve Deace said it best with supportive documentation to substantiate his choice of a title — “Donald Trump, a Typical New York City Liberal Then and Now” – Conservative Review — https://www.conservativereview.com/commentary/2016/01/deace-donald-trump-a-typical-new-york-city-liberal-then-and-now Today I decided to go back through my Ted Cruz files and make a list of those people who have...

Do people really like Donald Trump? Like, real people? The kind who would make their own signs and T-Shirts and show up at Trump's 2016 presidential campaign launch to watch him slowly descend an escalator to the sounds of "Rockin' in the Free World"? After a day of swirling rumors, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that the consulting firm Gotham Government Relations & Communications sought to hire paid actors to attend Trump's much-talked-about campaign kickoff on Tuesday morning. Trump's campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, denied the allegation to the site, noting that he had never heard of Gotham GR nor the...

Professor Marty Kaplan of the University of Southern California published an op-ed in the Huffington Post called "The 7 Stages of Too Much Trump Media Disorder," a parody of the five stages of grief that calls Trump an "extremist bully" and a fascist. Kaplan defines his satirical disorder as a "self-fulfilling" cycle of media attention given to Donald Trump that sucks "the media oxygen from the room." "The more attention Trump got, the even more attention he got," Kaplan explains. Kaplan's made-up disorder has 7 stages, which he calls: 1. shock, 2. denial, 3. anger, 4. bargaining, 5. guilt, 6....

DENVER (CBS4) A board member for the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado has resigned after urging people to kill supporters of presidential candidate Donald Trump.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 (UPI) The Internet cooled off last year with the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Now, in the name of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) many are heating up by chowing down on hot peppers and chugging Tabasco sauce. The "Feel The Bern Challenge" asks Sanders supporters to make videos of themselves eating jalapeños, taking shots of hot sauce, or otherwise working up a sweat and then battle through the burn to explain why they support the Socialist senator from Vermont in his run for the Democratic nomination for president.

A new poll by the Pew Research Center reveals significant levels of support for ISIS within the Muslim world. In 11 representative nation-states, up to 14 percent of the population has a favorable opinion of ISIS, and upwards of 62 percent "don't know" whether or not they have a favorable opinion of the Islamist group. In Pakistan, a nuclear weapons state, only 28 percent of the public view ISIS unfavorably. By this overwhelming degree of either tacit support or tolerance for ISIS in the country, ISIS should be considered as a potential proxy nuclear weapons power via its linkages and...
