Plotting a general-election strategy against Donald Trump , Hillary Clinton 's advisers joke that their challenge feels like Lucille Ball's in the famed chocolate-factory episode of "I Love Lucy." As truffles fly down a conveyor belt, Lucy frantically tries to wrap them before they pass.

In this photo taken May 7, 2016, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks during a rally in Spokane, Wash. More than a million voters have already sent in their ballots for Washington state's presidential primary, Tuesday, May 24, 2016, but the only delegates at stake are for the Republican contest, because state Democrats ignore the primary and use the smaller caucus system to allocate their delegates to their national convention.
Worldwide, more than 110 journalists were killed in 2015, bringing the total to 787 since 2005, according to Reporters without Borders. The threats to free speech in this country don't rise to that level, of course.
Obama campaigned on supposed practicality and ad hoc politicking. This left his most cynical detractors shadowboxing at the leftist positions they knew that he actually held, even as the media and his supporters Donald Trump may despise President Obama enough to question his origin of birth .
In influence, we are all over the map, from talk-show hosts with audiences of millions to politicians who directly shape policy to academics who write technical papers read exclusively by their peers. We have been dubbed the "Republican Establishment" during this campaign season - bemusing to those like me who have trivial influence and are not even Republicans - but I'll use Establishmentarians as a convenient label for who we are.
As it stands now, it seems almost inconceivable that Sanders could become the Democratic nominee - unless the FBI indicts Hillary Clinton before the convention, or she reveals herself to be some sort of animatronic device sent from the future to bore us to death . The former seems about as plausible as the latter, given that Trump's nomination makes it even less likely the Feds will risk interfering with the election.
It was his original red meat message, the one that brought Donald Trump to this improbable moment as the presumptive Republican nominee for president. The one the crowd in Anaheim was hungry to devour over and over again.

Could Bernie Sanders put Mitt Romney in the White House? I haven't gotten my 2012 and 2016 wires crossed; I have a theory that's slightly more realistic than a Donald Trump presidency seemed a year ago. As it stands now, it seems almost inconceivable that Sanders could become the Democratic nominee -- unless the FBI indicts Hillary Clinton before the convention, or she reveals herself to be some sort of animatronic device sent from the future to bore us to death .
Donald Trump has said in the past that he's "been very, very good for women," but Hillary Clinton disagrees. Speaking to Ellen DeGeneres on The Ellen DeGeneres Show , the presumed Democratic nominee for president took Trump to task for his past rhetoric against women, noting her expected opponent has been "very derogatory" toward members of the opposite sex.
As Donald Trump is dredging up Bill Clinton's past to use against his wife, the man who served as the chief antagonist of Clinton in the '90s has nothing but praise for the man he investigated. Kenneth Starr served as the independent counsel who scrutinized Clinton during his presidency for the Whitewater investigation that led to the Democrat's impeachment hearings.
Although The Hill calls her a reporter, Michelle Fields plays the part of a pseudo reporter with a political ax to grind. That is the takeaway from a story in The Hill .
