Mac Stipanovich: Bloodied, but unbowed after Donald Trump’s election

Published on November 15, 2016 in 2017 by Guest Author

I was a charter member of #NeverTrump, and, as such, I was a true believer in the justice of the cause and the probability of its success. So no one was more surprised by Donald Trump‘s victory than I. Or more bewildered by it. Or more angry about it. No one. I have been told ad nauseum that my blindness was the result of being out of touch with the WWC (the white working class, which is just the latest…

Published on November 9, 2016 in Peter/Top Headlines by Peter Schorsch

Yesterday’s slate of general elections in Florida certainly provided a list of winners and losers, and I’m not just talking about the candidates. Here is my list of the real winners and losers coming out of Tuesday. Winners Rick Scott — The Naples Republican was an early backer of the president-elect, comparing Trump’s rise to his own 2010 gubernatorial run and even penning an op-ed way back in January that Trump captured “the frustration of many Americans.” No doubt he’s taking notes for his own rumored 2018…

Mac Stipanovich: Win or lose, Never Trump movement remains proud

Published on October 31, 2016 in 2017/Top Headlines by Guest Author

With Donald Trump still down in the polls with a week to go, the edifice of excuses designed to justify his potential defeat is being hurried to completion. To the foundation stones of voter fraud and a mainstream media conspiracy his campaign manager recently added treason, alleging that if Trump loses it will be, in large part, because he was stabbed in the back by the Never Trump renegades in the GOP. That is a baldfaced lie. Never Trump did not…

Today on Context Florida: Open primaries, Mac Stipanovich, Hurricane Wilma & Key West and EULAs

Published on May 13, 2016 in Apolitical/Top Headlines by Phil Ammann

Today on Context Florida: Voters will still have plenty of choices without resorting to open primaries, says Bob Sparks. Advocates for open primaries say it is not fair for Republicans and Democrats to exclusively choose their own party’s nominees. They believe the Socialist Party or the Libertarian Party, for example, should be able to help decide the nominees of the major parties. They also want those who register with No Party Affiliation (NPA) to participate. It must be made clear that…
