CNN anchor Jake Tapper repeatedly asked Donald Trump on Sunday to denounce David Duke's support for his candidacy, but Trump insisted he didn't know anything about about the former KKK grand wizard. "Will you unequivocally condemn David Duke and say that you don't want his vote and that of other white supremacists in this election?" Tapper asked Trump on "State of the Union." But Trump, the Republican presidential frontrunner, said he didn't have enough information to answer the question: I don't know anything about David Duke, OK? I don't know anything about what you're even talking about with white supremacy...

Donald Trump had a town hall last night with MSNBC. Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski and the audience were asking Donald Trump questions. At one point, Mika Brzezinski started to describe a candidate to Donald Trump, going through a host of viewpoints and descriptions. She then asked Trump who she was describing. Watch this :36 The look on Trump's face is absolutely priceless. One would think, this might be something that gives pause to Republicans considering voting for Trump. He and Bernie freaking Sanders are apparently so alike, Sanders gets described and Trump thinks the person is talking about him. Seriously,...

Ted Cruz began his Monday with a somewhat contentious interview on Fox & Friends. Contentious because at least two of the three co-hosts are Trump supporters. Which two? Watch the body language in the right hand frame at the 7:25 mark, when Sen. Cruz points that Trump has given money to Jimmy Carter, Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer and Harry Reid: ...

Most of us who have followed the GOP nomination contest expected Donald Trump to show his posterior pursuant to his loss to Senator Ted Cruz in the Iowa caucuses, but it is unlikely that many expected him to crack up after only one defeat. Nonetheless, that seems to be what is happening. Even when he reverted to his trademark antics only one day after an uncharacteristically rational concession speech, few students of the Donalds weird campaign could have been surprised. It is difficult, however, to escape the conclusion that Trump is losing it when he claims that Cruz foisted Obamacare...

Ben Carson took 11 percent.In a previous Public Policy Polling national survey released in December, Trump held a double-digit lead with 34 percent of the vote. His closest competitor, Cruz,...

As far as I can tell, Donald Trump's grieving process works more or less completely in the reverse order from what you would expect from a rational human being. Immediately after the event, Trump was more or less in acceptance mode, saying he was proud of finishing second, he loved the people of Iowa, he was going to come back and buy a farm there. Then he went into depression, secluding himself for an uncharacteristically long time from twitter and the media. Working backwards, he skipped over bargaining and went straight to anger, blaming the media and their unfair treatment...
