Dick Morris claims Mitch McConnell backed Senate candidates praise former President Donald Trump but go against him behind the scenes...

Morris predicted President Donald Trump would win in a landslide on Election Day only to have Democratic secretaries of state in swing states later determine Biden won after counting mailed in votes. Morris said that would ultimately lead to Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts determining the results of the election. So what you’re probably looking at is that you’re going to have on election night a report that Trump carried … all of the potential swing states. And they’ll say that Trump has 330-350 electoral votes and won a landslide. And then, day after day, week after week, you’re...

Twenty-one Republican members of the House of Representatives have signed a discharge petition in the hopes that, combined with Democrat members, they can get enough signatures to force a vote on legalizing recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program without having to embrace Republican demands for tougher immigration laws as a tradeoff. These GOP congressmen are sabotaging President Donald Trump’s efforts and those of conservative House members to hold up legalizing DACA immigrants (those who came here as children) until Democrats agree to strengthen immigration laws. The conservative rationale is highly sensible. When we grant, in effect, amnesty...

Hillary Clinton's political habit is to kick the can down the road, rather than to deal with crises immediately. This has resulted in a possible October Surprise as the FBI has now found 15,000 more emails after Hillary swore she turned them all in. Now she faces a continual crisis through October and likely through election day. Dick Morris was the senior political adviser to both Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton. He comments on this and more in today's political videtorial.

In this video commentary, I discuss Dr. Ben Carson’s credibility with the truth. Tune in!

Dick Morris, who famously predicted that Mitt Romney would defeat President Barack Obama in a "landslide," has now joined the Beltway mob in blaming radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh for the Republican Party's woes, the Daily Caller reports. Morris also claimed that the Senate immigration bill "is not only a good solution--it's the only solution" to the nation's illegal immigration problem. He attacked Limbaugh for opposing the bill: "Stop losing the elections for us....Focus on the changes that are taking place in the country,

Politico is peddling a misleading liberal-media attack on Dick Morris. Item from Politico's "Morning Score" today [emphasis added]: "DICK MORRIS, who has not been taken seriously by serious people for a very long time, confessed on Fox News yesterday that he deliberately misled viewers: 'I think that there was a period of time when the Romney campaign was falling apart, people were not optimistic, nobody thought there was a chance of victory and I felt that it was my duty at that point to go out and say what I said.' There's just one problem. As Professor William Jacobson has...

As Election Day approaches, we must be very sensitive to last minute changes in the polls. Remember that President George W. Bush fell from a 4 point lead into a tie over the last weekend in 2000 and Clinton rose from a tie to a 5 point win in the last weekend of 1992. With that caution in mind, a danger signal comes from the latest Rasmussen Poll reflecting a two point gain for Obama. Whereas before the storm, Rasmussen showed Romney two ahead, he now has the race tied at 48-48. That is troublesome. It may be that Obama’s...

O'REILLY: "Campaign 2012 Segment" tonight, as you may know, Dick Morris predicting a big landslide for Mitt Romney even though, as we mentioned, a "New York Times" poll out today says the President will most likely win in three vital swing state. Morris, the author of the big new bestseller, "Here Comes the Black Helicopter"; he joins us now Dick Morris from Detroit. So you, I'm sure, repudiate the "New York Times" poll? DICK MORRIS, FOX NEWS POLITICAL ANALYST: Yes. And let me go through the numbers because it's important for people to get in. In Florida, the "Times" says...

Now that the dust has settled from the two conventions, the Romney campaign has started to “carpet bomb” swing states with a fabulous new ad! (And I have often been critical of their past efforts). The ads, different in each of the swing states, each open with Romney’s speech at the Convention saying: “This president can ask us to be patient. He can say it is somebody else’s fault. But he cannot tell us that we are better off now than when he took office.” The ads each then speak about the problems of the state in question and then...

When Justice Roberts folded and held the Obamacare law constitutional, he upheld the individual mandate. But he gave us all an individual mandate: To defeat Obama and repeal this horrible law! But the Romney campaign — and the Super PACs — have not put this issue in play against Obama. We need an avalanche of ads explaining how the health care law will force rationing of medical services, worsen the shortage of doctors, tax young people out of one month’s income, and raise all of our health care premiums. Since everybody knows the law has passed but many don’t realize...

Today, Barack Obama won the battle but will lose the war. The Supreme Court decision makes Obamacare the central issue in the 2012 election, just like it was in the 2010 election. And we know how that turned out. The Court has sustained the individual mandate. That imposes on us a mandate: To defeat Obama and take the Senate. Now that is the only way we can kill this horrible law. Public opinion has rejected this law for two years now by about the same margin: 40% support; 55% oppose. While the Court decision may give the law a short...

I heard part of a radio interview with Dick Morris the other day. He said Herman Cain was now in the 1st tier of GOP candidates (which he defined as currently being Romney, Bachmann, and Cain). He placed everyone else (including Pawlenty, Santorum, & Newt) are in the 2nd or 3rd tier. Morris also had this to say on O’Reily about the GOP field: …the best credentialed candidate of any of them is Cain.In the past, Dick Morris has totally discounted Cain. Now he has Cain as one of the leading GOP candidates; and not just in vote getting ability,...

Green Bay Packers fans turned out in droves to welcome their Super Bowl championship football team back to town on Monday. Fans lined the city streets all along the Packers’ route from Austin-Straubel Airport back to Lambeau Field after the team’s plane landed around 1:45 p.m. The players and coaches traveled in a caravan of Green Bay city buses, and on some streets fans were lined up as much as five or six people deep, on both sides. The crowds grew considerably larger the closer the team got to Lambeau. Upon arriving at the stadium, thousands of fans were waiting...

After Tucson, Ariz., shootings, Sarah Palin's unfavorable rating in the CNN poll rose from 49 percent before the midterm elections to 56 percent now. It was not the left-wing charges that Sarah Palin had somehow incited the Tucson shooter by her aggressive political rhetoric that did her damage. Polls show that voters discounted these statements and even Rep. Giffords' husband has made clear that there was no political motive involved. It was Palin's response to these attacks that got her in trouble. Her highly publicized accusation that the criticism was a "blood libel" turned voters off. As sincere admirers of...

Dear Friend, Today, October 6th, is the first day this year that the Republican candidate leads in the most recent poll in ten Senate races for Democratic seats. If the Republicans hang onto these leads, they are assured of a majority! Even more important, the Republican is moving up in all ten races even where the margin is still narrow! The following are the polling data from the most recent survey listed on realclearpolitics.com: North Dakota = Republican + 43% Arkansas = Republican + 18% Indiana = Republican + 18% Wisconsin = Republican + 12% Pennsylvania = Republican + 7%...

YORBA LINDA, CA – Author and political strategist Dick Morris today announced his endorsement of U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina. “It is my pleasure to endorse Carly Fiorina in the Republican Senate primary on June 8. While I have a high regard for Carly’s record and position on issues, my endorsement is based mainly on the fact that I believe she would be the best candidate to achieve victory for Republicans in November over Senator Boxer. “The conventional wisdom that a moderate does better than a conservative in a California statewide election does not, in my opinion, hold true for...

If the House Democratic majority passes Obama's health care proposals, one of two things will happen by Election Day, 2010 -- and neither one will be healthy for the Democrats seeking re-election. Either the Medicare cuts will take effect or they will be postponed by a terrified Congress. If they take effect, physicians' fees will be slashed 21 percent and hospital reimbursements for Medicare patients will be cut by $1.3 billion. Tens of thousands of doctors and thousands of health care institutions -- hospitals, hospices, outpatient clinics and such -- will refuse to treat Medicare patients. Entire cities will be...

One of my favorite quotes about politics comes from Henry Kissinger in his book Years of Upheaval, his memoir of the Ford presidency: “A statesman’s duty is to bridge the gap between his vision and his nation’s experience. If his vision gets too far out ahead of his nation’s experience, he will lose his mandate. But if he hews too close to the conventional, he will lose control over events.” Now, at once, we see both happening to President Barack Obama.

On the Hannity show, Dick Morris just said he thinks the Democrats will lose as many as 100 seats in 2010. Hannity was so shocked that he audibly gasped.
