Democratic Debate Exposes Deep Divides Among Candidates Over Health Care
Once again, health care took up a large chunk of a Democratic primary debate. Once again, there were fights over costs, coverage and whether the party is growing too extreme.
But this time, all of the front-runners were onstage together, providing the first opportunity for all of them to take direct aim at each other and their vastly differing health care plans. It made for some heated

OPINION: The Climate Trap for Democrats
The real felt urgency of climate change will not, anytime soon, match the rhetoric of the advocates.
The more the climate debate changes, the more it stays the same.

Polarization Vortex: Obama, Bush Approval Shows Widest Partisan Gap
Many Republicans claim that President Obama is among the most polarizing presidents in modern history. If the results of a new Gallup survey measuring his approval rating are any indication, they might be right.

Warren and Trump Have More in Common Than You Think
Warren’s catchphrase, “I’ve got a plan for that,” has as much cultural resonance with her base as Trump’s “Make America Great Again” does with his. Culturally, Elizabeth Warren is a lot more like Donald Trump than you might think.
Hold on. I know: Going by their personal lives, their demeanors, and their ideological agendas, they’re apples and oranges. But apples and oranges actually
