President Donald Trump latched onto revelations tying Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign to a dossier of unsubstantiated allegations about his ties to Russia, saying Wednesday that it was a "disgrace" that Democrats had helped pay for research that produced the document.

Nothing succeeds like success, so the conventional wisdom goes, but in politics, as a skeptic of my acquaintance is fond of reminding me, nothing recedes like success.

Traditional Republicans fancying the cracks in their party as an opening to primary President Trump in 2020 need to deal with one inconvenient fact: Republican voters aren't interested. The brawl for dominance in the Republican Party is certainly remarkable.

America has two political parties, but only one of them has a reasonably coherent political vision, a leadership that isn't under the thumb of an erratic reality television star, and a worldview that implies a policy agenda rather than just a litany of grievances. Unfortunately for the Democrats, their vision and leaders and agenda also sometimes leave the impression that they never want to win another tossup Senate seat and that they would prefer Donald Trump be re-elected if the alternative requires wooing Americans who voted for him.

Rep. Kevin Brady, the chairman of the House's tax-writing panel, wouldn't rule out changes to the program used by 55 million U.S. workers who hold some $5 trillion in their 401 accounts, a system that has become a touchstone of retirement security for the middle class.
In response to Reg Murphy's Oct. 21 column regarding Russian collusion in our election, I respectfully disagree with his assertions. Donald Trump was not elected by, or because of the Russians.
I have read Carl Cannon's article and the letters that followed, both pro and con, and agree that President Trump's comments to a grieving family could have been misconstrued to the point of insensibility. Despite my support for our president, I have never felt he was an eloquent speaker, although I have always believed him to be sincere, which I feel was the case here.

Down through our political history, it has been decidedly rare for former presidents to re-enter the fray and comment on the performance of their successors.
