Richard Warnica: Everything I saw in person, over months, looked good for Trump. But I never fully bought into any of it — not the enormous crowds or the enthusiasm I recently found a copy of the notes I made the first time I saw Donald Trump in person. It was at a rally in Des Moines, Iowa, in January 2016. Even outside, it was the strangest thing I had ever seen in politics. Hundreds, maybe thousands, were queued up in the cold. A who’s who of through-the-looking-glass Americana stretched over the yellow grass while reporters from all over the...

RUSH: “Twelve Months Later, Trump Would Probably Still Win the 2016 Election.” That’s the headline of a piece in the Washington Post today. This is a bombshell story, when you measure this against nearly universal coverage from the Drive-By Media for the past year. “Trump’s an idiot! Trump’s a buffoon! Trump’s stole the election! He cheated. He colluded with Russia. Trump is hated. Trump’s approval numbers are down in the toilet. Trump’s this; Trump’s that. People hate Trump. Trump’s a pig.” I’m sure you can add to the list. That has been the basic focus of news in the past...

The so-called November 4 protests, which took place in cities across the country today, hosted by a nascent protest group called Refuse Fascism, will likely be remembered more for what they did not look like, than what they did. Far-right conspiracies had morphed the event into a fantasy world of unrealistic expectations.

(CNN) -- On November 8, thousands of Americans say they will mark the anniversary of Donald Trump's election by meeting across the country to "scream helplessly at the sky." The Facebook page for the event in New York says 2,500 will attend and 15,000 are interested. I'm skeptical: The mood seems ironic, and the cool weather might put people off. But Trump would love it. He lives for division, he succeeds by driving his opponents mad. Screaming is a concession of defeat. The emotions implied are understandable. Not only was Trump not supposed to win in 2016 on account of...

Just over a year ago, the political left in the US watched in shock as what seemed unimaginable happened - Donald Trump won the presidency. Since then, they've mourned, they've marched, and they've moved on. Sort of. There was a moment on the first full day of the Women's Convention in Detroit, Michigan, last month when the audience came alive. Linda Sarsour, a co-chair of the event, was moderating a panel about activism in the era of Trump, and glanced down at her phone. She then announced to the cavernous conference hall that there were reports that independent counsel Robert...
