in 2017/Top Headlines by

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, brushing aside any recent claims of civility, has equated Ben Carson‘s childhood “pathological temper” to the illness of a child molester, questioned his religious awakening and berated voters who support him. “How stupid are the people of Iowa?” declared Trump during a rally at Iowa Central Community College. “How stupid are the people of the country to believe this crap?” For more than an hour and a half Thursday night, the billionaire real estate mogul…

Mitch Perry Report for 11.12.15 — Does the DNC want anyone to watch their debates?

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Overnight returns give Fox Business Network’s prime-time GOP presidential debate showing a 8.9 rating among households and 13.5 million viewers in prime-time. That’s just shy of the 9.5 rating and 14 million viewers earned by CNBC’s recent coverage for the third. And while it’s not nearly as large as the gaudy ratings numbers that Fox and CNN reaped this summer (24 million and 23 million. respectively), it should be noted that the Fox Business Network is in a lot less…

The trend there had been set, but that turned upside down last week when Ben Carson swooped over Donald Trump in two polls taken from the Hawkeye State.

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Just in time for the Sunday morning shows, the Jeb Bush campaign on Saturday night is taking a shot at Donald Trump’s abilities to be the next commander in chief. On Friday, Bush told Charlie Rose that he didn’t know if Trump had the right stuff to keep America safe.
