But the breakdown of those numbers is troubling. Among Gen …

Republicans in the House of Representatives had to adjourn because they couldn’t get behind Rep. Steve Scalise as the nominee for Speaker.

BAD NEWS: The Electoral Math Says… | Steve Berman


Opinion Contributor

It’s hard for me personally to understand why the polls continuously have Donald Trump with a double-digit lead among Republican voters in primary polls (as of September 12, that is). As my brother tends to gently smack me in the head to bring me to reality—people have made their major decision on Trump’s disqualification. Those who continue …
