New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) again pressed former President Trump to cool down his rhetoric and focus on the election at hand, suggesting Friday that Trump will “pivot a little bit” from personal attacks if polling continues to shift away from him. Still, the governor warned that not focusing more his messaging could cost the former president the election. “Just don’t miss the opportunity. I think that’s the message,” Sununu told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins Friday evening in an interview. “And if he does that, it’s the block and tackling of running a campaign. If he does that, he wins.”

New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) is calling on Republicans to “stop the trash talk” leading up to November, arguing such attacks will do little to shore up support for the GOP ticket. “As Donald Trump and my fellow Republicans navigate the next steps of their campaigns, my message to them is this: The path to victory in November is not won through character attacks or personal insults,” Sununu wrote Thursday in an op-ed published by The New York Times. Sununu argued the “catchy one-liners” against Vice President Harris, including labelling her as a “bum,” “not a serious person,” and...

What are you hoping to hear from President Biden and is it fair to tie in any way what happened at the Emanuel AME church to Donald Trump? Donald Trump had barely launched his campaign when that attack happened.”

Former NBA star turned television personality Charles Barkley took a shot at former President Trump for his recent rhetoric on immigration. “For a man who’s running for the most powerful position in the world to use pseudo-racist rhetoric — that’s one of the reasons I can’t vote for that guy,” Barkley said Wednesday. “Because man, he just rubs me the wrong way. And people can vote for whoever they want to. But I just do not like it at all.” Trump has come under widespread criticism in recent weeks for the way he has described the influx of immigrants coming...

Why do conservative media feel the need to kowtow to the Democrat Party's biased and partisan (not to mention self-serving and … hateful) rhetoric? Have the many troubling events of election night already been forgotten? Once and for all, fellow journalists and fellow citizens, conservative and liberal alike (although I hardly expect the latter to follow this piece of — friendly — advice), stop saying "Trump tried to overturn the 2020 election" and stop referring to "the election that Trump lost", to "Trump's defeat", to "Trump tried to change the results", and to "false claims". The way that even conservative...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that the Republicans’ “crazy violent hate rhetoric” was a “threat to the heart of our democracy.” Clinton said, “There always been a streak of violence, of racism, misogyny, antisemitism, as you said, but I think what we’re seeing today, and it has certainly been thrown into very high relief by the horrific attack on Paul Pelosi, is not just an aberration where one or two people or a small group engage in that kind of violent rhetoric and urge people to take action against political figures like her,...
