• Flash forward: #NeverTrump in 2020

  11-12-2016 23:01 via hotair.com
  
  Imagine for a moment that it’s 2020. (Or, more likely very early in 2019.) The midterms are over and people are lining up to formalize their bid for the presidency. The Democrats, having been out of power for years, have completed whatever form of post-election autopsy they decided to perform and a number of them are scrambling for position. Assuming that President Donald Trump intends to run for a second term (which is a big assumption, I know…), what of #NeverTrump?

• Marco Rubio, John McCain warn Trump on nominating Tillerson for State job

  11-12-2016 21:31 via hotair.com
  
  McCain’s attitude doesn’t surprise me. He’s the Senate’s most ardent Russia hawk, he’s 80 years old, and he was just reelected. He’s got nothing to lose in standing up to Trump. Rubio’s attitude does surprise me a little. He’s hawkish and freshly reelected too, but he’s all of 45 years old and is surely planning another presidential run eventually. He backed off his apocalyptic criticism of Trump after the primaries this year, even before he&

• Portland to heavily tax companies if their CEO earns too much money

  11-12-2016 20:01 via hotair.com
  
  Despite the popular revolt which seemed to characterize the 2016 elections, it seems to me as if some of you still just don’t get it. And by “you” in this case, I mean the city council in Portland, Oregon. You see, guys, the idea is to encourage companies to grow and hire more people. It’s not to drive them away. And yet we see new laws being passed such as this.
  The city of Portland, Oregon, is imposing a surtax on companies whose CEOs earn more than 100 times the median

• Sunday reflection: Matthew 11:2-11

  This morning’s Gospel reading is Matthew 11:2-11:
  When John the Baptist heard in prison of the works of the Christ, he sent his disciples to Jesus with this question, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?” Jesus said to them in reply, “Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the good news proclaimed to them.

• The final bill for the two campaigns might change the way presidential politics works

  11-12-2016 17:01 via hotair.com
  
  Long before the 2016 presidential election “officially” got in gear it had become a known rule inside the beltway that this was going to be expensive. It would be essentially impossible, according to the experts, to mount a realistic presidential campaign without a minimum of one billion dollars. Some estimates ran higher, with top fundraisers telling The Hill in January of 2015 that the total bill for the two parties would likely go as high as five billion and Hillary Clinton would

• Ivanka Trump as First Lady-Daughter Kills All Hope for a Melania-Run East Wing

  Click here for reuse options!The only fun part of a Donald Trump presidency was going to be Melania as FLOTUS — now even that is gone. There are many legitimate deaths to mourn here in the twilight of 2016 — reason, civility, the future of the Republic — but I felt none so sharply this week as the snuffing of my last hope for delight in the White House over the next four years.

• Louisiana Senate runoff surprises pretty much nobody

  11-12-2016 15:31 via hotair.com
  
  As much as you probably wanted the 2016 elections to be over (at least on the national level) they really weren’t until last night. Louisiana’s curious election laws meant that we once again had to wait until yesterday for their final runoff which determined the last Senate seat as well as a House race. To the surprise of virtually nobody, Republican state treasurer John Kennedy cruised to an easy win for the last Senate seat to be decided. (NOLA)

  Have you finally sorted out all of the various racial groups around the country and the social justice concerns which are being raised these days? You might think you have but I’m guessing you missed one. You can be excused, of course, because the one I’m thinking of is relatively new. In fact, it was just minted by the Obama administration. Get ready for the Next Big Thing in identity politics because we’re about to be hit by a fresh wave of Mena-Americans. The details come to

  Outgoing Senator Harry Reid appeared on MSNBC this morning for one more attack on FBI Director Comey, comparing him to J. Edgar Hoover and suggested he should resign. However, it’s not clear that anything Reid said is backed up by facts.
