It's been a slog for the Trump campaign the past few weeks. Let's face it: President Joe Biden was former President Donald Trump's clearest path to victory. And the gift that kept on giving has laid its last golden egg. Biden is gone. It's incredible how poor a candidate he was. And it took his exit to fully realize just how bad off the ...Read more

How do voters know the prestige press is hopelessly partisan? For three weeks, Kamala Harris has been refusing all requests for interviews or press conferences, and that goes unpunished. Donald Trump held a press conference, and he was absolutely punished.
