• 'WaPo's' Dana Milbank To Literally Eat His Column
    Back in October, Dana Milbank of The Washington Post wrote a piece about Trump titled: “Trump will lose, or I will eat this column.” In the piece he elaborated: “I’m so certain Trump won’t win the nomination that I’ll eat my words if he does. Literally, the day Trump clinches the nomination I will eat the page on which this column is printed in Sunday’s Post." He’s now asking readers to send in recipes with which he can cook his column.
  • Trump Could Consider Democrat For VP Spot
    Dr. Ben Carson, former GOP presidential candidate and Trump surrogate, has said that the Republican nominee could potentially pick a Democrat as his vice president. He was asked whether the Trump campaign would have Democrats and Independents on the short-list. Carson responded “yes,” and added: “We would consider people who are Americans and who put America first."
  • Sanders Still Hopes To Block Clinton At Convention
    It is clear to the Sanders campaign that he will not be able to win the nomination with pledged delegates before the Democratic convention. His aides, however, still see the possibility of winning the Democratic nomination through a convention strategy of convincing superdelegates to switch over to the Vermont Senator’s side. The Sanders campaign is still confident that neither candidate will arrive in Cleveland with the number of delegates required to win the nomination outright.
  • Trump Breaks With GOP Over Minimum Wage
    During the primary cycle, Donald Trump toed the Republican line on the minimum-wage, saying that it was already too high. In a not so surprising turn of events, the de facto leader of the Republican party is now “open to doing something” on the minimum-wage. A clear shift to the general election, Republicans will be reeling as they see additional evidence of Trump not exemplifying the “true” conservative.
  • Trump Will Not Self-Fund Campaign
    With more than $1 billion expected to be spent by the Trump campaign in the general election, the New York billionaire announced that he would not look to self-fund his campaign. Instead, the real-estate mogul will raise money in order to keep up with the fundraising prowess of the Democratic party. Being more specific, the presumptive GOP nominee said: “I’ll be putting up money, but won’t be completely self-funding.”
  • Hillary Clinton Raises $2.4 Million From Trump's 'Woman Card' Comments
    Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton raised an unprecedented $2.4 million in the last three days of April, and she has Donald Trump to thank for that bounty. After Trump’s comments about Clinton in which he attributed her success to playing the woman card, the Clinton campaign ran with the ridiculous attack, noting: “Claim your free Woman Card today, and let’s show Trump and the Republicans exactly who they’re up against.”
  • Sanders Wins In Indiana But Remains Far Behind
    After winning the Indiana primary by five points, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders sounded like someone who’s not going to give up. According to the Senator, his win in Indiana will help him “pull off one of the great political upsets in the history of the United States.” Clinton’s lead in delegates is pretty much insurmountable at this point, but the Indiana win will give Sanders reason to remain in the race and continue shaping the eventual Democratic platform.
  • Ohio Gov. John Kasich Drops Out
    It has been confirmed to CNN that Ohio Gov. and only remaining Trump opponent, John Kasich, has decided to drop out of the race for the Republican nomination for U.S. president. Just hours after Texas Sen. Ted Cruz announced his retirement from the race, Kasich followed suit. Neither candidate had a mathematical chance of winning the nomination after Trump’s rout of his competitors in Indiana.
  • Clinton's Fundraising Doesn't Give Much To State Parties
    Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton has said previously that she is raising money for her campaign, as well as for state parties, in order to support down-ballot races. Whereas Clinton has raised around $61 million so far through a fundraising vehicle in conjunction with state parties, only about 1% of that money has actually gone to help her fellow Democrats.
  • Trump's National Lead Among Republicans Continues To Grow, Now At 56%
    Recent polls show that hopes of a Trump ceiling have been sorely unfounded. New numbers from an NBC News/Survey Monkey poll shows Trump at 56% among all registered Republicans. This is compared to Cruz at 22% and Kasich at 14%. The survey also recorded a lead for Clinton in a general election against Trump, but her lead has tightened slightly since mid-April. She is now only 6 points ahead of the GOP front-runner.
