Take a deep breath. The Republican contest still has another month to go.
Writing at the Hill, analyst Mark Plotkin figures he knows why Ted Cruz's poll numbers have tanked in Indiana: rings.
Remember when the Republican presidential candidate stumbled over the word "rim" as he was trying to re-create a scene from the movie "Hoosiers" (for some reason)? Well, that slip-up will "doom him" in basketball-loving Indiana, just as so many have been doomed by so

Donald Trump Just Struck a Blow against Authoritarianism
In Neil Gorsuch, Trump has nominated to the Supreme Court a man with deep respect for the Constitution and the freedoms it protects. If you ask vast numbers of both conservative and liberal Americans what word comes to mind when they hear Donald Trump’s name, the response is immediate: “Authoritarian.” In fact, if there is one theme that has remained constant in mainstream coverage of Trump

At the Iowa Debate, Bernie Sanders' Most Vociferous Opponent Was CNN
AHEAD OF THE August 2015 Fox News debate, the company’s chair, Rupert Murdoch, issued a directive to debate moderator Megyn Kelly: The Donald Trump thing has gone on long enough, it’s time to take him down.
