They’ve tried backing exemplary Scripture-quoting Christians — without result. After Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum and considerations of Cruz himself, they are increasingly reluctant to support like-minded candidates who are nonetheless incapable of advancing their cause in a hostile political arena so dominated by secularism. They have no illusions about Trump. They have no expectations of religious uplift. What he…

Detroit — It was not immediately clear which of the four remaining candidates won Thursday’s Republican presidential debate here. But there was no shortage of losers. Marco Rubio, needing a strong performance to reassure donors and persuade voters ahead of Florida’s do-or-die primary on March 15, spoke with a hoarse voice that rendered him incapable of topping Donald Trump in…

This week, Gov. Dennis Daugaard of South Dakota vetoed a bill that would have required students in public schools to use bathrooms and locker rooms based on their biological sex at birth. South Dakota would have been the first state to pass such legislation, pushing back on guidance from the Obama administration requiring schools to allow transgender students access to…

GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump’s vow to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border seems to be spurring more illegal immigration in recent months, according to Reuters. The news agency says there has been an increase in illegal immigration at the southern border as migrants seek to make it into the United States illegally before Trump gets into office and…

It’s either Donald Trump or a contested convention. Such is the reality facing the Republican party today. Its leaders are now staring down two scenarios they long dismissed as fantasy, after a slew of Super Tuesday contests demonstrated once again both the breadth of Trump’s support and the difficulty in unifying his opposition. Trump didn’t win a clean sweep on…

Rush Limbaugh sent a clear signal to his radio audience Monday on the eve of Super Tuesday. If you want to send a message to the Washington and GOP establishment, Ted Cruz is your candidate. “Ted Cruz is only guy that was taking on the Republican establishment of all the Republicans in the race,” Limbaugh told his 10 million listeners….

In a Hillary Clinton vs. Donald Trump race — which, the Beltway keening aside, seems the probable outcome of the primaries — what are the odds the GOP can take the White House, Congress and the Supreme Court? If Republicans can unite, not bad, not bad at all. Undeniably, Democrats open with a strong hand. There is that famed “blue…

Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) posted “An Open Letter to Trump Supporters” on his official Facebook page that outlined exactly why he will not be supporting Donald Trump this November if he were to be the nominee. He urged conservatives to find a third option to support if Trump were to land the party’s nomination. (Emphasis added) My current answer for…

We’re less than 24 hours from Super Tuesday, where voters will decide who to allocate the 595 Republican and 1,004 Democratic delegates up for grabs across the South, Midwest, and Northeast. Both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton look like they’re going to sweep the southern states, where both have broad appeal to voters. Clinton is especially strong with black Democrats…

Last night Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio did what they had to do in taking down Trump. Don’t fool yourself. That was fun and great theater but it will not change the underlying dynamic of the race. Donald Trump is going to roll up a series of wins on Super Tuesday. The only measurable impact that it might have is…
