Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks has had it with what she perceives as country radio's hypocrisy, at least when it comes to the presidential race currently taking place in the U.S. The singer, who has been publicly vocal about numerous issues in the past , called out a double-standard in the world of country music: Maines insists that country-music radio is fine with conservative commentary, but liberal points-of-view are immediately critiqued and shot down. Maines is specifically referring to GOP candidate Donald Trump's remarks about the Second Amendment , and his perceived call to "do something" about his opponent Hillary Clinton.
More than 75 Republicans have signed a letter urging Republican National Committee Chair Reince Priebus to spend the party's money on helping secure the Republican majority in the Senate, not on Donald Trump's presidential campaign. The letter, whose signers include former congressmen Gordon Humphrey, Mickey Edwards and Christopher Shays; Bruce Bartlett, a member of President George W. Bush's cabinet; and former RNC staff members said that Trump's campaign will have a "catastrophic impact" on down-ballot races.
Hillary Clinton has admonished rival Donald Trump for claiming that she and Barack Obama were the founders of the Islamic State group, saying anyone who would "sink so low" should never be president. Mr Trump again roiled the presidential campaign late on Wednesday, telling a rally in Florida that Mr Obama "is the founder of ISIS".
First, he correctly observed that the roots of the Islamic State predated Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's tenure and, indeed, even the liberation of Iraq. It's an inconvenient truth to remember that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein fanned the flames of Islamism in the wake of his 1991 defeat in Kuwait and that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's group killed an American diplomat in Jordan months before President George W. Bush decided to use military force to oust Saddam Hussein.

Against the wishes of her New York Democratic constituents, Hillary Clinton voted with Senate Republicans to invade Iraq.

When Eleanor Schiff, a former domestic policy staffer in George W. Bush's White House, contemplates her impending vote for Hillary Clinton, she says she's "stunned." "If you told me a year ago that I'd be voting for her, I'd say there's no way," Schiff tells me.

The anger that he has consistently displayed in public and his tendency to lash out against his critics, whomever they might be, even the parents of a slain soldier, has sent Republicans into a full-scale panic. His willingness to make false statements or to play around with facts involving matters of national security has generated immense criticism.
The George W. Bush years were hard on liberal activists and writers. Shortly after 9/11 there was a worry that outspoken critics of the Bush Administration would be targeted for surveillance and retribution.
Hillary Clinton offers Donald Trump a history lesson in Philadelphia, saying the US never "wanted one person, one man to have all the power like a king."

It was a variant on a traditional convention for a party seeking a third straight term in the White House, attempting to overcome an apparent post-convention bounce for the opposition's candidate: shades of 1988 or 2000 or 2008. Usually it starts with a valedictory speech by the incumbent president, followed by celebration of the new nominee and ending with a rousing acceptance speech.
For political journalists, there's nothing crueler than two national political conventions, two weeks in a row: Endless hours of note-taking; long, boring speeches by countless politicians; cheap hotels, lousy food and not enough sleep.
