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

in 2017/Top Headlines by

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…

Mitch Perry Report for 10.21.16 — Rick Scott in 2020?

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Forget about Marco Rubio in 2020, what about Rick Scott? Troy Kinsey from Bay News 9 reports that “some GOP operatives are floating him as a potential presidential contender in 2020, should Trump lose in November.” Kinsey then quotes all of one lone such operative in his story. But it does make for a good headline. Now, what about Marco Rubio? The Florida lawmaker made news this week when he declared in his debate against Patrick Murphy, “I’m going to serve in the Senate for the next six years, God…

Mitch Perry Report for 10.12.16 – Is there still no crying in baseball?

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

It’s painful today for me, folks. I stayed up past midnight this morning to see the Chicago Cubs come from behind with four runs in the top of the ninth inning to defeat the San Francisco Giants, 6-5, and advance to the National League Championship Series this weekend, where they’ll play either Washington D.C. or Los Angeles. When I was a kid in the 1970’s, baseball was my favorite sport, just like it was America’s. But over the course of…

Hillsborough GOP Chair Deb Tamargo says media strays on covering presidential race because of “sexier” issues

in 2017 by

While some Republicans are jumping off the Donald Trump train with just four weeks until Election Day, Hillsborough County Republican Executive Committee Chair Deb Tamargo says the calls coming into her office on Monday supported the GOP presidential nominee, and were critical of Paul Ryan. The Speaker of the House told Congressional Republicans Monday they should feel free to stop supporting Trump if they felt it would improve their electoral prospects. Although the conventional wisdom among political observers says Trump more than held his own in the second debate on Sunday night…

Hillary Clinton says video of Donald Trump is “horrific”

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Hillary Clinton is responding to a video of rival Donald Trump making lewd comments about women in 2005. The Democratic presidential candidate said on Twitter, “This is horrific. We cannot allow this man to become president.” Trump issued an apology after the video emerged of him making sexually charged comments. He called it “locker room banter.” Clinton has said that Trump has shown a lack of respect for women, noting during the first presidential debate that he insulted a former…

Mitch Perry Report for 10.5.16 — Whipping out that thing. Again.

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Well, that was unpleasant. Before last night’s vice-presidential debate from Farmville, Virginia, the conventional wisdom amongst the pundit class was that Donald Trump would “sink” Mike Pence, as he’d have to contend with all of the many, many provocative comments made by the GOP nominee, both during this year-and-half-long campaign, but also going back decades. It didn’t exactly turn out that way, did it? True, Pence dealt with the recitation of some of Trump’s greatest hits as recounted by Tim Kaine by…

The Mitch Perry Report for 10.4.16 – And now for something completely different

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Since his selection to be Donald Trump’s running mate back in July, it’s been downright amusing at times to watch Mike Pence have to answer for his new boss while being asked about his latest outrageous comment. “Torturous” might be the best term to explain some of the responses he’s had to come up with to defend or deflect the latest comment by the GOP standard bearer. Sure, Katrina Pierson and Jeffrey Lord have lost their dignity at times on cable news, but Pence is the…
