The Donald Trump and Ted Cruz campaigns are working to prevent John Kasich from appearing on the ballot at the Republican National Convention in July, msnbc has learned, an aggressive strategy suggesting the GOP's leading candidates are girding for a contested convention to select the party's nominee.

A Unified Fields Theory Until Trump changed the subject to punishing women for having abortions, the Trump obsession of the week was Michelle Fields. I’m glad that story is largely gone. I don’t think it was good for Fields or for the forces opposed to Trump. And it distracted from more important stories, like Trump’s willingness to nuke Europe.

Ted Cruz leads Donald Trump in the Republican nomination contest in Wisconsin, according to a Fox Business Network Poll released Thursday.

Real estate mogul Donald Trump continues to reveal his true leftist colors, smearing Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) for being too conservative. After Walker endorsed Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Trump unleashed a barrage of leftist talking points against Walker. "There’s a $2.2 billion deficit and the schools were going begging and everything was going begging because he didn’t want to raise taxes ’cause he was going to run for president," Trump said. "So instead of raising taxes, he cut back on schools, he cut back on highways, he cut back on a lot of things." Townhall's Guy Benson points out that...

About the only sexual perversion that still has the power to offend our completely jaded culture is the sexual abuse of minors. And both candidates could end up locked in a MAD embrace on this issue because the equally rapacious Bill Clinton and Donald Trump have both socialized with reclusive financier and political donor Jeffery Epstein, a collector of expensive houses, including what is said to be the largest private residence in Manhattan, a Palm Beach estate and  compound on a Caribbean island. Jeffrey Epstein also collected Nobel Laureates and the occasional member of royal families from the Windsor to...

Today marks the crucial Iowa caucuses. We will find out whether the Donald Trump boom is real, or whether it's an exaggeration; we'll find out if Senator Ted Cruz's (R-TX) ground game matches the hype; we'll find out if Senator Marco Rubio's (R-FL) attempts to play for momentum have gained actual steam.

A huge number of Iowans are still deciding for whom to vote. So, with that...

In order to restructure his debt, Trump gave Citibank and other creditors a 49% ownership interest in the hotel.As for Goldman Sachs, Trump is himself a shareholder in Goldman Sachs, which means he has a direct financial interest in its success. One would think that would make Trump even less enthusiastic about protecting me from Goldman Sachs (whatever...

From the Senate Race to the Speaker’s Race Posted on August 2, 2012 by Dustin Matocha If anything can be taken from Tuesday night’s victory for Ted Cruz and others around the state, it’s that the Tea Party is as powerful of a force as it ever was. The passion and determination of the movement was something remarkable to witness.It safe to assume our next U.S. Senator will be a Republican, and a re-focused Tea Party can have just as significant of an impact on the 2013 State Legislature.There’s no doubt about it. Ted Cruz’ victory last night was in...
