Though Ron DeSantis hasn’t even announced his candidacy for the presidency yet, a Trump-supporting super PAC has filed an ethics complaint against him with the Florida Commission on Ethics. According to the 15-page complaint, the Trump super PAC, MAGA Inc., is calling on the commission to investigate DeSantis for allegedly “leveraging his elected office and breaching his associated duties in a coordinated effort to develop his national profile, enrich himself and his political allies, and influence the national electorate.”Though publicly noncommittal, privately sources say DeSantis’ presidential candidacy for the upcoming presidential election is inevitable. As such, the complaint claims that...

Last week the lawyer for the former “DC Madam” said he had a record log of contacts that could “upend the 2016 election.” Attorney Montgomery Blair Sibley has a GoFundMe page set up to pay for his court costs if he releases the phone records. Montgomery Blair Sibley recently released a video saying he has the list of contacts relevant to the 2016 presidential race. Attorney Montgomery Blair Sibley said the records were already online. On Tuesday Supreme Court denied a request from Montgomery Blair Sibley, the lawyer for the former DC Madam, to release documents and records that would...

Congratulations, #NeverTrumpers – Tuesday night you became the dog that caught the car. What are you going to do with it now? Because it's still skidding toward a cliff. Sen. Ted Cruz's Wisconsin whipping of GOP front-runner Donald Trump has brought into focus the new convention-al wisdom: It's going to be contested, baby! Trump can't reach a majority of delegates, according to the new Beltway buzz, and because Cruz has a target-the-delegates strategy while Trump has a bluster-about-myself strategy, the tactical Texan is going to win. "It's still possible for Trump to exceed the 1,237 majority needed to win on...

A DePaul student was unexpectedly caught in the middle of a short-lived political scandal. Her picture was used to help spread a rumor about a presidential candidate that wasn't true. Samantha Rivera said her phone was ringing so much it woke her up Wednesday morning. There were also texts and emails asking her if she had an affair with a presidential candidate. The journalism major at DePaul says nothing she learned in public relations classes prepared her for this. Rivera's profile picture is at the center of an alleged sex scandal involving Republican Presidential Candidate Ted Cruz. Rivera said someone...

A group of self-righteous Ted Cruz supporters released a prepared statement today demanding Donald Trump fire Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowski for allegedly assaulting reporter Michelle Fields when he walked past her at a Trump event in Jupiter, Florida. Lewandowski was charged with “battery” for allegedly assaulting the former Breitbart reporter. These Cruz supporters signed a letter today demanding that Lewandowski be fired. Tonight Greta Van Susteren lambasted these “conservative” women who signed on to this outrageous letter. “Two things. One, Lewandowski hasn’t even had a trial and they’re calling for his head. Yes, they’ve tried and convicted him. And, second,...

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump quickly walked back a statement he made earlier Wednesday that if abortion were illegal in the United States, then women who have the procedure should be punished - saying later that only those who performed the procedure should be punished. “If Congress were to pass legislation making abortion illegal and the federal courts upheld this legislation, or any state were permitted to ban abortion under state and federal law, the doctor or any other person performing this illegal act upon a woman would be held legally responsible, not the woman,” Trump said in a written...

To understand the concern, and in some cases the panic, of many Republican officials over Donald Trump, consider this fact: Young people generally donÂ’t like him. The potential of losing an election is one thing, but as polling numbers suggest, the Trump brand could weigh on the G.O.P. for a generation. â–  In a recent USA Today/Rock the Vote poll, respondents under 35 said they would pick Hillary Clinton over Mr. Trump, 52-19. Those lopsided numbers would be hard to reverse if Mr. Trump were the nominee because he is such a known quantity. When the respondents were limited to...

The new Emerson College poll for New York provides some good news for Donald Trump — for now, anyway. With more than five weeks to go before the Empire State’s primary, Trump trounces Ted Cruz for the state’s 95 delegates by more than 50 points, 64/12, with John Kasich only getting 1% despite his big win in Ohio. That puts Trump well over the 50% threshold for winner-take-all allocation, while leaving Cruz and Kasich well below the 20% threshold for any allocation in the event of a plurality. Trump, the home-state candidate, also gets the most favorable marks in...

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Nearly 46,000 Pennsylvania Democrats have switched to Republicans since the beginning of the year. According to Penn Live, some experts attribute the mass exodus to Donald Trump. There’s even a title for the movement. It’s called “Ditch and Switch” and calls for lifelong Democrats to abandon the party, register Republican, and help ensure Trump’s place in the general election. Professor of Public Affairs at Franklin and Marshall College, Dr. G. Terry Madonna, tells the paper he has a theory behind the switch. “With the increase in support in exit polls for Trump among working class, blue-collar Democrats,...

Sound/Video Recording of Donald Trump saying he heard that Rubio is getting out of the race.

"I think it's a great time to start a mortgage company," Donald Trump told CNBC. It was April 2006. Many economists and Wall Street analysts were warning about an impending downturn in housing. But, as the Washington Post reported Monday, Trump was unswayed. Trump's confidence in his new venture bears a striking resemblance to his approach to governing. "I think the market is very good," he told CNBC at the time. "We're going to have a great company…it's going to be a terrific company." Instead, after a year, the company closed after doing about $1 billion in business.

Trump embraces positions on economics and foreign policy anathema to most conservative politicians. He is an ardent critic of recent free-trade agreements, opposes cuts to Social Security and Medicare, has been even more vocal than many Democrats in criticizing President George W. Bush and the Iraq War, and even endorses the Democrats’ long-standing call for government negotiations with pharmaceutical companies to drive down drug costs.... The key lies in that rejection of conservative economic and fiscal orthodoxy (except in his endorsement of big tax cuts). But unlike Democrats, Trump is a sharp critic of illegal immigration, multiculturalism and “political correctness.”...

Donald Trump's boast that if he had been president, the September 11 jihad terror attacks would not have happened because "if I were running things, I doubt those people would have been in the country," has been gaining him even more notoriety and cheers from foes of Obama's immigration policies. What Trump would do to prevent jihad terror attacks by domestic jihadis, or Sharia encroachment on American freedoms, however, is far less clear than his stance on immigration, and some of the things he has said about these matters should give even the most full-throated of his enthusiasts considerably less...

The anti-war movement of 2003 has finally found its voice: Donald Trump. To judge from the polls and his recent victory in New Hampshire, Donald Trump is the Republican front-runner. Yet in his critique of the foreign policy of President George W. Bush unleashed in tonight's GOP debate, Trump sounded not at all like a Republican but like the most radical anti-war activists of the early 21st century. He said the Iraq war was a disaster which was sold by lies about weapons of mass destruction. When told that Bush kept America safe, Trump snorted, "How did George W. Bush...
