Romney just advocated two things: 1. Denying Trump the nomination through a split vote in key high delegate states. For all intents and purposes advocating a brokered convention. 2. He is the one who can best articulate both why Trump is wrong and why Clinton is wrong My conclusion below...

The topic of Rule 40 for the convention has come up a few times over the last several months, and I feel this rule is misunderstood. The rule in question in the one requiring 8 majority wins for a candidate to have their name entered into nomination. I call it the "Magic 8" rule. Below please find my attempt to explain the rule simply, and also include some analysis of where the race stands now in terms of this requirement. The critical language of Rule 40: A candidate shall demonstrate the support of a majority of the delegates from each...

Updates being posted throughout the day from SC. Some typical anecdotal quotes from voters included.

Mr. Trump mentioned at the end of the program that he had posted in the lobby a list of charities to which the money would go. I am very glad he said he was being careful about which organizations were chosen to ensure the funds go to benefit veterans. So the question, can anyone find a copy of the list to post? . . . I think it would be great information to get out publicly.

Hillary is furious — and while Clinton advisers think that may save her, it’s making the lives of those who work for her hell. ... snip ... “We’re having some success in giving her some chill pills,” says a campaign adviser. ... snip ...

I recently had a conversation with a good friend. Active duty O6. Recently completed a major command tour. Now the operations officer for a significant regional command. His words have set with me in a rather heavy way... He said it's not a matter of "if" a 'reset' happens, it's just a matter of when. He believes the military and civil authorities in many places will be divided and that many will be surprised where loyalties actually are found when men are finally faced with a choice of liberty over tyranny. He explained that he honestly believes that leaders of...

It is the Islamic prophetic promise fulfilled. It is the great commission of the prophet brought to...

Defense Secretary Robert Gates is objecting “in the strongest terms” to an Associated Press decision to transmit a photograph showing a mortally wounded 21-year-old Marine in his final moments of life, calling the decision “appalling” and a breach of “common decency.” The AP reported that the Marine’s father had asked – in an interview and in a follow-up phone call — that the image, taken by an embedded photographer, not be published.rest of story at link...

Lat night a great crowd showed up in Rancho Cordova (just east of Sacramento, CA) for a town hall on health care hosted by Rep Dan Lungren. Staff and police estimated the crowd at over 1,000. I thought I arrived early - 6:15 for a 7:00 start time, and found myself behind about 400 people already waiting. People continued to stream in and join the end of the line right up until start time. I was lucky enough to get a seat inside in a secondary room they had set up with audio/video. Staff told me there was seating for...

The link goes to the CSPAN video of a recent town hall here in CA held by Congressman Dan Lungren (R-CA3). It's full length - about an hour and a half.

From the office of Congressman Dan Lungren: As your Representative, I strive to keep communication open so that I may better serve you. Town hall meetings are a wonderful way for constituents to ensure I am well-informed of local issues and concerns and for me to provide immediate answers to any questions you may have. This line of communication between citizens and their representatives is so important to me that I pioneered the use of the tele-town hall format, where I can reach several thousand constituents at once with a single phone call. I have encouraged the use of this...
