in 2017/Top Headlines by

Besides gaining support from conservative groups, U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis, in his Senate campaign, is pushing his establishment credentials by bringing in Tony Fabrizio, one of the state’s most highly regarded pollsters. In addition to polling, POLITICO reports that Fabrizio – the principal at Fabrizio, Lee and Associates — will also serve as DeSantis’ senior campaign adviser, a role he played in two winning campaigns for Gov. Rick Scott. Fabrizio will also poll for the 2016 presidential campaign of U.S. Sen.…

In Sarasota, Donald Trump says the world is abusing the United States

in Top Headlines by

Donald Trump has flirted with running a serious presidential campaign four times in the past 18 years — in 1988, when he was arguably at the zenith of his popularity as his Art of the Deal memoir topped The New York Times best-seller list, as well as 2000, 2004 and four years ago. So even though he says he’s going to surprise some people when he makes his announcement about 2016 next month, it’s best to remain skeptical. Trump was in Sarasota on Thursday night, speaking…

A Pew Research poll published on Tuesday shows that Republican primary voters are more excited to vote for a president than in the past two election cycles.

in 2017/The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Jeb Bush isn’t the only leading Republican presidential contender from Florida who is struggling to get his story straight on whether it was the right thing to invade Iraq. Yesterday on Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace refused to let Rubio off the hook regarding where he stands on the issue, since he appears to have two completely different answers to that question in the past two months. Wallace also grilled Rubio for displaying a lack of leadership in the way he handled the issue…

Jeb Bush’s tough week exposes challenges for his likely 2016 bid

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Jeb Bush worked his way through the dim hallway of an Arizona resort for hours, shuttling from room to room and meeting with dozens of Republican officials, many for the first time. He was in need of a political reset. For days, he had offered confusing answers to questions about the war in Iraq. He had disappointed Republicans in Iowa, the leadoff state in the nomination chase. And, for a moment, he had forgotten he wasn’t yet a 2016 presidential…

GOP wrestling with too many ’16 prospects for a TV debate

in Top Headlines by

Never have more than 10 candidates taken the stage for a televised Republican presidential debate. Wish the GOP luck in trying to keep it that way. With the party’s first debate set for August, Republicans must decide to either allow what could become a nationally televised circus act, or figure out how to fairly whittle down a field likely to include eight current or former governors, four senators, two accomplished business executives and a renowned neurosurgeon. More than a half-dozen…
