Given what we know of Donald Trump, it’s more believable that he’s currently flirting with the idea of choosing Mitt Romney for Secretary of State because he relishes making his fellow tycoon, and former fierce critic, subordinate to his will than because he seeks his counsel. Romney at State will …

An article in this morning’s New York Times argues that Democrats lost the 2016 presidential election because of turnout — theirs, not the Republicans’. In fact, they acknowledge that Trump and Republicans generally benefited from the enthusiasm of their base and political sympathizers. Democrats on the other hand suffered from …

This election was, if nothing else, a resounding rejection of the Obama legacy, just as it definitively rejected the kind of platform Hillary Clinton‘s candidacy promised: more spending, more taxes, more government in our lives and, of course, unilateral enforcement of the political left’s overarching agenda of economic regulation, social policy change and climatism, whether the rest …
