...As for the waning days of the Trump administration, Morris marveled how President Donald Trump “just completely outfoxed” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., on coronavirus relief, assuming he succeeds on getting foreign aide reduced and stimulus checks to Americans raised to $2,000. “Trump really, really outmaneuvered [Pelosi] with brilliance,” Morris said. “He saved the American people from a vast amount of money being spent on pork and garbage, and instead redirected [the debate] to Americans. “It’s the kind of move that makes me miss him like crazy. One of the things people don’t understand about Donald Trump is how brilliant...

Former Democratic strategist and White House adviser Dick Morris told Newsmax TV on Monday the Trump campaign's appeal to state legislatures is "truly where we'll get our remedy" on claims of voter fraud and election irregularities. Referring to efforts in Pennsylvania, where legislators have begun the process of revoking the authority of the executive branch officials to certify electors for the Electoral College, and Arizona, where Trump officials were to meet Monday with Republican lawmakers on a similar action, Morris hailed the move he championed two days after the Nov. 3 election. "What's important is not so much what's said,...

Presidential political commentator Dick Morris comments on the ongoing legal, political and electoral battles and where he thinks the numeric results can go from here

President Donald Trump can still win the presidency. Here’s how: Only the Electoral College or the various state legislatures can declare a candidate the winner. To base this decision on network vote totals and projections and to call Biden the president-elect is irresponsible. The recounts in Arizona, Georgia, and the other states are likely to go heavily for Trump. Most of the likely errors or invalid votes took place on mailed in ballots. (Machine votes are harder to tamper with). Since Biden won upwards of two-thirds of mail-in votes and absentee ballots, it's likely that most of the discarded mail...

Sunday on New York AM 970 radio’s “The Cats Roundtable,” former Bill Clinton adviser Dick Morris weighed in on what appears to be former Vice President Joe Biden’s Democratic presidential nomination for 2020. Morris said a Biden nomination is “like a suicide march” with the Democrats, adding President Donald Trump has “an enormous advantage” because of his ability to rebuild the economy following the coronavirus pandemic. “It’s hard to see. It’s like a suicide march with them. But, you know, they’re pretty stubborn people,” Morris told host John Catsimatidis.” I think we have to understand this whole situation is very...

“Biden should be required to have a test for Alzheimer’s disease. We can’t elect a president who has that deterioration of the brain setting in at the start of his term,” Morris said. “We’re entitled to know that. His personal inability to function will become more and more apparent, particularly on the debate stage. ... He’s becoming senile or coming down with Alzheimer’s.”

A former adviser to President Bill Clinton speculated that Michael Bloomberg and Hillary Clinton are plotting a way for her to become the 2020 Democratic nominee even though she’s not in the race. “Here’s the deal that I think is going down. I think Hillary and Bloomberg have gotten together and cooked up a scheme,” Dick Morris told John Catsimatidis on The Cats Roundtable radio show on Sunday. He said Bloomberg would stay in the race, even if he has no chance of winning, in an effort to get at least enough support to keep Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders from...

Hillary Clinton will lose the Democratic nomination to Bernie Sanders setting up a huge fight to "steal it by getting the super delegates" at the party's national convention next July in Philadelphia, political strategist Dick Morris predicted to Newsmax TV on Wednesday. "Hillary is losing to Sanders," Morris told "Newsmax Prime" host Joe Pags. "There is one post-debate poll that shows the margin collapsing from 20 points to 15. "In Iowa, it shows the margin collapsing from 18 to 5, 50 to 54," he added. "She's already at about eight or 10 behind in New Hampshire." He predicted the floor...

Despite media reports that try to minimize our progress, household income in the United States has risen sharply since 2014. Back then, inflation-adjusted median household income stood at $55,913. In 2018, it was $63,179. This $7,266 increase amounts to a 13 percent hike in income over the past four years. Liberal and Democratic contentions that the Trump economy only benefits the wealthy fall flat in the face of the data. Put this increase in incomes into perspective.

To make it on stage at the September Democratic presidential debate, candidates must have 130,000 unique donors and garner 2 percent or more in at least four polls approved by the Democratic National Committee. Hawaii Representative Tulsi Gabbard, progressive mega-donor Tom Steyer, and New Age author Marianne Williamson each met the donor requirement but will apparently fail to hit the polling requirement.

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) has said she won’t be dropping out of the 2020 Democratic presidential race after she narrowly missed the cut for the upcoming third Democratic presidential debate this month. Addressing voters’ concerns on Aug. 31 that she may pull out of the race for the White House, the 38-year-old congresswoman said at a town hall in Atlanta: “Hell, no!” “I started hearing from a lot of people in the media when they said, ‘OK, you didn’t make the third debate. Are you quitting?’” Gabbard said, after failing to make the lineup of 10 candidates put in place...

Sen. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) called herself a "top-tier" candidate in July while mocking Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D., Hawaii) for her low polling, but in a new survey Harris leads Gabbard by less than the margin of error. Harris received just 5 percent support from likely Democratic primary voters in a new Economist/YouGov poll, down 4 points from the same survey last month. Gabbard was right behind Harris with 3 percent support, meaning Harris's advantage is within the poll's margin of error of 2.6 percent. Gabbard ripped Harris at July's CNN debate for her record as California's attorney general, specifically...

Kamala Harris entered the presidential race with impressive credentials -- a popular black woman with an inspiring story who hailed from a large Democratic state and drew accolades for her fiery questioning of President Donald Trump’s nominees. Yet despite a shot of adrenaline after confronting front-runner Joe Biden in the first debate, she has failed to catch fire with Democratic voters who are torn between a nostalgic fondness for Biden and a revolutionary desire for Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren. Harris’s attempt to replicate her feat in the second debate backfired among Democrats who say she went too negative on...

Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard has renewed the debate surrounding the outsized influence of tech companies in American politics with her lawsuit against Google. Ms. Gabbard, a U.S. representative from Hawaii, has alleged that Google’s decision to temporarily suspend her advertising account after the June Democratic primary debates was tantamount to suppressing her candidacy. Her lawsuit accuses Google of violating her First Amendment rights, for which she is seeking $50 million and assurances that Google will not censor or restrict her account further. Google has countered that Ms. Gabbard’s account was flagged for “unusual activity” and suspended “to prevent fraud...

Bye bye Biden. As Joe stinks to 19 percent and 22 percent in the latest Monmouth (8/26) and Economist/UGov (8/21) polls, putting him in a statistical tie with Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren for the first time, there is an opening for former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg in the Democratic primary. Here’s how it might come about: Step One: Biden fades into a tie with Sanders and Warren (already happening) and then falls to third place. Biden has no way to come back. He is the candidate of events that happened between 2008-2016. If the past is not...

**SNIP** Rep. Mark Meadows told "Sunday Morning Futures" host Maria Bartiromo that he is "not as optimistic now" after Attorney General William Barr said he anticipated Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s investigation to be complete by early June. Horowitz and his team have been investigating alleged FISA abuse by the Justice Department and the FBI since March 2018. The inquiry includes a focus on the FBI’s handling of the unverified dossier compiled by British ex-spy Christopher Steele and its extensive use in the FBI's FISA applications and renewals to target former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Barr said in April that...

Now that he apparently has made a deal to speak with US investigators about his “dossier” (purchased with DNC and Hillary campaign monies) that was used to mislead a FISA Court into allowing domestic spying on US citizens, former British spy Christopher Steele is letting a buddy at the New York Times know that he is nervous about becoming a fall-guy. Appearing on CNN Tuesday, NYT reporter Matthew Rosenberg told Don Lemon: “He is incredibly concerned and obsessed this investigation is going to throw him under the bus. And his view, at least from the people close to him,...
