WASHINGTON, Feb. 26 (UPI) -- A poll by Public Policy Polling found that a surprising number of Florida voters believe Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz could be the Zodiac Killer. While a 62 percent majority of voters answered "No" when asked if they believed Cruz was responsible for the string of murders in the early 70s, 10 percent answered "Yes" and an additional 28 percent said they were unsure. Several reports say the rumor stems from a speech Cruz delivered at the Conservative Political Action Conference in 2013 titled "This is the Zodiac Speaking" and has become popular again since he began his presidential campaign. Public Policy Polling, a ...

You Know You're in the Trump Cult When... Image: YouTube Screenshot At a campaign rally in Iowa on Saturday GOP frontrunner Donald Trump bragged about how loyal his followers are."I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters," Trump boasted, as he formed his fingers into the shape of a gun and pointed at the crowd:I'm beginning to believe that Trump could do about anything at this point and his most loyal followers would find a way to justify it. He makes disgusting, sexist comments about women and his supporters think it's hilarious —Megyn Kelly had it coming, they say. Trump makes fun of a reporter's ...

Have you ever made fun of Donald Trump? Have you ever read an editorial that really lays into him with criticisms of his proposed policies, or even his hair?
Well if Trump becomes president, he promises that things will change, and these sorts of critiques will no longer be legal.
It almost sounds like satire, but during a speech in Texas on Friday morning, the Republican candidate and frontrunner, Donald Trump said he wants to sue news outlets if they negative stories about him.
He acknowledged that currently the First Amendment of the Constitution protects a free press, and thus shields journalists from suits like this.
But Trump said on Friday that he would limit the press ...

Feb 26th 2016 9:53PM Professor: If Trump Gets the Nomination, He'll Win in November Folks, get ready for President Donald J. Trump! Let us explain. According to a professor at Stony Brook University, the billionaire has at least a 97 percent chance of being our 45th commander in chief if he gets the GOP nomination. First, a little bit about the professor, Helmut Norpoth. He created a model that predicts candidates' possible performance in a general election based on how they do in their party's primary. Norpoth claims his model has worked in every presidential election except one since 1912. Norpoth told Stony Brook's student newspaper, "That's exactly the ...

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's endorsement of Donald Trump, which can only be described as stunning and shocking to the political world, will cause panic and chaos throughout the GOP establishment. Here are some of the immediate results of the Christie move. First, Christie's endorsement of Trump for president is devastating to the GOP establishment which was in virtual panic about the rise of Trump before Christie endorsed him and is now in a state of total panic behind the scenes. Second, Christie's endorsement of Trump is a devastating blow to the conservative establishment, which views Trump as neither a legitimate Republican or a legitimate conservative (as I wrote in ...

Former Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman Michael Steele tells Breitbart News that Chris Christie’s endorsement of Donald Trump Friday was a pivotal moment in the campaign. “One word, BOOM! Exclamation point,” Steele said in an interview. “Today after what we saw Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) do last night, he was out there attacking Trump on twitter and Trump was like, got one for you, BOOM!” “Now the guy who defined Marco a few weeks ago is back in the game. He’s engaged, and he’s working with Trump. BOOM!” Christie formally endorsed Trump in Texas at a press conference Friday before a major rally, calling Trump a longtime personal friend ...

Surprise! Donald Trump is a rank hypocrite on immigration. Per the New York Times: Donald J. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach describes itself as “one of the most highly regarded private clubs in the world,” and it is not just the very-well-to-do who want to get in. Since 2010, nearly 300 United States residents have applied or been referred for jobs as waiters, waitresses, cooks and housekeepers there. But according to federal records, only 17 have been hired. In all but a handful of cases, Mar-a-Lago sought to fill the jobs with hundreds of foreign guest workers from Romania and other countries. In his quest for the Republican presidential nomination, Mr. Trump ...

There might be a “bombshell” revelation to be discovered in Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump’s tax returns, 2012 party nominee Mitt Romney said Wednesday. He also called on the entire GOP field to release their tax returns. “I think there’s something there," Romney said of Trump's returns, "Either he’s not anywhere near as wealthy as he says he is, or he hasn’t been paying the kind of taxes we would expect him to pay,” Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, told Fox News’ Neil Cavuto on “Your World.” Trump responded later Wednesday on Twitter, slamming Romney for losing a winnable election, and ...
The Only Strategy For Hillary Clinton Is To Scorch The Earth

The slogan, says Begala: “Be afraid.” If Hillary Clinton manages to beat Bernie Sanders, the early primaries have already revealed that there’s only one strategy for the general election against a Republican, be it Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, or Ted Cruz: Scorch the earth. There was a scenario, which looks more like a fantasy, in which Clinton was a movement. Women in their twenties, thirties, and forties would rally to her the way black Americans rallied to Obama; she would run on her own mantle of change. In reality, nobody is that excited about Hillary Clinton, and young voters, women and men — the foot soldiers of any Democratic Party movement — aren’t ...

A top official with the Koch Brothers is leaving his perch to join Florida Sen. Marco Rubio's presidential campaign. Marc Short, president of Freedom Partners, the central organization of Charles and David Koch's political and strategic network, will be a senior adviser to Rubio effective immediately. The Kochs, wealthy billionaire activists, have spent hundreds of millions of dollars in presidential politics - including $400 million in the 2012 election. While they have not directly engaged their vast donor network in the Republican primary, signs indicate that they prefer Marco Rubio and are doing things short of directly spending money to help him. Representatives from the ...

LAS VEGAS (AP) – The Republican presidential candidates are focused on Nevada and its caucuses today. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is continuing to lash out at rival Ted Cruz. Trump tells a crowd of thousands in Las Vegas, “This guy is sick. There’s something wrong with this guy.” Trump took specific issue with an ad Cruz’s campaign has been airing that accuses Trump of being against turning over federal land in Nevada to state control. But Trump says it’s “not a subject I know anything about.” “Something to do with I want to take away your land? And I want to keep it in the federal government? I don’t even know what ...

Donald Trump said Monday night that he believes Hillary Clinton will likely get away with her use of a private email server while she was secretary of state. But the GOP front-runner quickly revived the visibly disappointed Las Vegas audience by promising that as president, he would be sure to prosecute Clinton. Fox News' Sean Hannity asked Trump in front of a live Nevada audience if his attorney general would go after Clinton should an investigation find she broke the law while serving in the Obama administration. "I think you have to do that," Trump responded, delivering some of his strongest remarks against the Democrat since he entered the race last June. The ...

There’s probably no man alive better suited to put Donald Trump on the couch than that other self-promoting “Bonfire of the Vanities” character who dominated the tabloids in the 1980s: Al Sharpton. The two men are very different politically, of course, but they are – to an extent both quietly admit to friends – salt-and-pepper, Queens-Brooklyn doppelgangers. Back in the 1980s, while Donald Trump was struggling with his casino business but prospering on the front pages of the Post and News, Sharpton was a 309-pound street preacher who wore velvet track suits, gold rope chains and a Trump-like ambition to eventually gain real power. At half his ‘80s weight and ...
Ted Cruz and Ben Carson Held a Secret Meeting Inside a Closet - It “didn’t go well.”

Getty Images/Scott Olson Ted Cruz and Ben Carson, two adult males who are running for president of the United States of America, haven’t been getting along very well lately. Carson has, of late, been accusing Cruz of “dirty tricks” on the campaign trail, including, but not limited to, telling supporters that Carson had dropped out of the race when he hadn’t. Cruz, for his part, has blamed the “misunderstanding” on CNN, who reported that Carson had returned to Florida during the Iowa caucus to pick up some fresh clothes, an act that Cruz claims led him to believe Carson was, in fact, returning to the Sunshine State to announce his removal from the race rather ...

From coin tosses to high-card, Hillary Clinton cannot stop beating Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) when luck takes the place of voters. To break tied precincts in the Iowa Caucus a few weeks ago, Hillary won every coin toss — 6 out of 6 — the odds of which are less than 2%. In Nevada’s caucus today, Democrats played a game of high-low card to determine a tie. And super-lucky Hillary just won with an ace to Bernie’s 6 in the precinct of Pahrump, Nevada. Wall Street Journal: The 30 voters in Precinct 10 at Morse Elementary School split even, 15 to 15. Per state Democratic Party rules, the precinct chairwoman, Peggy Rhoades, produced the sealed deck of cards she was provided to ...

My newest book Jeb and the Bush Crime Family reports allegations that Jeb Bush dealt both drugs and alcohol at his Andover prep school for the rich and entitled and that he was involved in drug smuggling operations that eventually led to the murder of CIA pilot Barry Seal, who tried to blackmail the Bushes and ended up riddled with bullets. These allegations fit Jeb’s lifelong pattern of elite deviance. But I more recently discovered allegations that Jeb teamed up with Dudley Farenthold, son of legendary Texas Democrat Sissy Farenthold and John B. Connally Jr., son of former Texas Governor John Connally, to smuggle cocaine into Houston for resale. Steven Mark ...

HANAHAN, South Carolina — 2016 GOP presidential frontrunner Donald J. Trump tells reporters here that his pledge to support the eventual GOP nominee is now void because the Republican National Committee, along with local and state GOP factions, is stacking debate audiences with donor class officials. “The RNC is in default,” Trump said at the press conference. “Just so you understand, the RNC is in default. When somebody is in default, that means the other side can do what they have to do. The RNC is in default.” Trump’s point is that the RNC has defaulted—through its actions against his candidacy—on the pledge he signed earlier in the cycle, and his ...
