The new CNN poll has Scott Walker polling at less than one half of one percent, or effectively zero. Statistically speaking, no one supports Scott Walker, not his campaign staff, not his family, not even himself. He is the epitome of zero, zilch, nada. It is expected that he will soon discover a burning need to spend more time on governing Wisconsin, or to be with his family, or perhaps spend quality time with his motorcycle. But before he goes, what are some lessons from his fall? 1) Busting public unions is good, but it doesn't make you into a...

Ground-breaking research by political science experts (actually me, Googling) reveals that a new breed of American politician has been discovered, the first ever "libertarian socialist." And it has a name: Bernie Sanders. Oxymoronic, you say? Call me crazy, but the senator from the Peoples' Republic of Vermont is at least two-thirds of the way there on the road to free minds and free markets. There are three issue frames in politics. Foreign. Social. Economic. Sanders is as non-interventionist as Ron Paul on foreign policy. He is as pro-choice and pro-gay rights as Yahweh on social issues (Yahweh has come a...

Carly Fiorina was always going to win last night's debate, griped rival Scott Walker, whose own performance at last night's Republican debate was panned by political pundits. 'I think going in, we knew the narrative, no matter what was going to happen, was that they were going to say Carly had a big night, no matter what, and obviously they said that,' Walker said Thursday on Glenn Beck's radio show, blaming the political media for making the call and crowning Fiorina the winner. While the Wisconsin governor had once been considered a top-tier GOP pick, Fiorina was among the pack's...

Even so, if I’m not mistaken, these are the first two polls anywhere since Trumpmania broke big that don’t show him on top.

Rolling Stone writer Paul Solotaroff said this week that Donald Trump has superpowers along the lines of a clairvoyant. If so, Trump may already know what renowned psychic medium Bill Philipps told The Mirror during an extensive phone interview Friday upon the release of his new book, Expect The Unexpected: Bringing Peace, Healing, and Hope from the Other Side. Which is that Trump will not be president. Philipps didn’t address Trump’s candidacy for president. Nor is the Orange County-based psychic medium too well-versed in politics considering he never watches TV or follows online reports about the campaign trail. But he...

"..When it comes to Trump’s idea for a mass deportation of 11 million unauthorized immigrants in the U.S., [Sheriff Joe Arpaio] said: “If the illegals don’t get caught or do anything wrong they’re not going to get deported. They got a pass. You’re not gonna go into their house for no reason other than you think that they’re here illegally. I’m not for that.” The Sheriff has consistently been a proponent of tough-on-immigration laws, supporting bills like Arizona’s S.B. 1070 back in 2010..."
