in 2017/Top Headlines by

After Carly Fiorina earned nearly universal praise as the big winner of last week’s Republican Presidential debate from the Reagan Library, the big question was whether that praise would translate into a bump in her poll ratings, which have languished in the lower tier this year. The answer to that is a definitive yes. According to a new CNN/ORC poll released Sunday morning, Donald Trump continues to lead the field with 24 percent, but Florina is now in second place with 15 percent. That’s…

Jeb Bush is feeling the heat of Donald Trump‘s unexpected dominance in the GOP race for president. Although the former Florida governor has said that the immigration proposals released by Trump earlier this week, which include calling for an end to birthright citizenship — simply aren’t practical, he used the derogatory term “anchor babies” when speaking about it on a nationally syndicated radio show on Wednesday. “If there’s abuse, if people are bringing — pregnant women are coming in to…

The issue has come to the forefront this week after GOP presidential contender Donald Trump unveiled his white paper on immigration on Sunday, which included eliminating automatic birthright citizenship.

Scott Walker is counting steps on his FitBit. Jeb Bush swears by the Paleo diet. Bobby Jindal is a “gym rat.” With long travel days and a fresh slab of cherry pie never far away, the campaign trail is notoriously unhealthy. But many 2016 presidential candidates are striving to make smart lifestyle choices as they tour the small town diners and pizza places of the early voting states. “I try to do at least 10,000 steps a day,” said Walker,…
