VIDEOPolitical consultant Matt Dowd let it out of the bag in public. What should have been admitted only in hushed tones in the privacy of liberal homes or at least in a quiet partitioned section of an exclusive restaurant among like-minded friends was blurted out by Matt Dowd on Nicole Wallace's "Deadline White House" on MSNBC. Why did Dowd stupidly reveal that the utterly expected late campaign anti-Trump smears were made for entirely political reasons? Perhaps it was because Dowd, who started out as a Republican but found out there was more money to be earned as a FORMER Republican...

That was quick. Frequent CNN and MSNBC guest Matt Dowd announced late in September that he was running for Lt. Governor of Texas and just a little over a couple of months later he is quitting. And why is he quitting the race? Because of what he perceives to be the self-sacrificial noble cause of "diversity." I kid you not.The title of Tuesday's Texas Tribune explains it all, "Democrat Matthew Dowd ends campaign for Texas lieutenant governor, citing need for “greater diversity."

VIDEOHere are just a few examples of just how INSANE the mainstream media has become. They have descended to labeling President Trump and MAGA as domestic terrorists, brownshirts, fascists, and even war criminals. It explains why they have absolutely no qualms with LYING about Trump and his supporters. They justify their lying as necessary in order to prevent those so falsely branded from ever returning to power. Is it any wonder why the FBI abuses their power to go after MAGA? It's because those at the top of that organization are infected with the poisonous attitude expressed by the totalitarian...

The journalists at ABC on Wednesday erupted in “open hostility” to Donald Trump, accusing the President of “shutting down part of the First Amendment” by not calling on network reporters at a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Jon Karl, Cecilia Vega and Matt Dowd repeatedly whined about the “conservative” questioners who were chosen, lamenting that the preferred narrative of the liberal media wasn’t highlighted. In the post-press conference coverage, Vega ranted, “I want to tell you about the open hostility right here in this room. You know, I'm sitting right here kind of in the middle of...

On Sunday, even after the FBI hinted the presence of a link to radical Islam, the panel on ABC’s This Week blamed the terrorist attack at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida on heated election rhetoric and guns in America. “I think we all ought to pause with what happened in Orlando today,” stated ABC’s Matt Dowd when asked if third party candidates could gain supporters, “And if we understand that all of the hateful thoughts become hateful words become hateful actions.” Dowd continued, “And now, maybe in the course of this, after what happened, the temperatures will go down...

Am I the only person in America who noticed that the chief strategist of the Bush-Cheney campaign, Matt Dowd, inadvertently predicted Bush's loss to John Kerry in his e-mail memo to party insiders on Tuesday? In that memo — no doubt crafted to lower expectations — Dowd matter of factly predicts, based on his analysis of past Gallup surveys, that Bush may well be 15 points behind John Kerry at the beginning of August. No, I didn't make this up. Dowd's e-mail includes a link to the Bush-Cheney website that has a chart showing Bush losing to Kerry 55.5 percent...
