New Right populism isn’t very different from leftist progressivism, and it will be as harmful for the country as leftist progressivism. The Railway Safety Act demonstrates the difference between truly conservative Republicans such as Cruz and big-government, pro-union populists such as Vance.

Governors create a fiscal record that can help voters decide who might make the most fiscally responsible president.

Given their age and various legal and health challenges, there is nothing dishonorable about Trump and Biden deciding not to run again. They don’t have to convince the country it’s the right thing to do—the country knows that. They would only have to convince their egos.

The latest effort to keep Donald Trump from running for president is to invoke Section 3 of the Constitution's 14th Amendment which prohibits certain individuals who have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the government of the United States from holding high office. 

We will hear a lot about a "gender pay gap" in this election cycle. We explain why almost all of the claims are wrong.

While it’s unlikely, we can’t rule out the possibility that one or both of the current leading presidential candidates could, in the next year or two, be convicted of one or more crimes.

If Trump were convicted and sentenced to jail in Georgia, he couldn’t pardon himself of a state crime, which means he couldn’t “discharge his duties” as president. That’s when the country would have to turn to the Constitution’s 25th Amendment.

Ronald Reagan wasn’t perfect but he did a great job of growing the economy, rebuilding the military, and reasserting U.S. global leadership. It’s a good model for GOP candidates to follow.

While third-party candidates don’t win presidential elections, they can change the debate and the results. Sometimes that works in favor of Democrats and sometimes Republicans. That could be the case again.

A DA's job is to prosecute criminals, not love on them.
