As a young woman, I will vote for Donald J. Trump for president because he and his wife Melania have proven themselves presidential in ways Hillary and Bill Clinton failed. First things first: a vote for Donald Trump is a vote against Hillary.
By the time you read this, we will know if Donald Trump pulled off a miracle and overcame his myriad personal shortcomings to win the second debate and maybe save his candidacy by holding Hillary Clinton accountable for the legacy of failure she intends to continue.

It's good that 26 GOP state senators and candidates now acknowledge that "Kansas is on the wrong track." And that they now seem at least somewhat open to changing direction on state tax policies.
As the news stories pile up about police shootings of black men in the U.S., there can no longer be any doubt about the country being deeply rooted in racism. As Hillary Clinton said, when she addressed a black church in Charlotte, North Carolina, "Because my grandchildren are white a they won't face the kind of fear that we heard from the young children testifying before your city council."
It certainly took him a while, but I'm glad to see Bill Clinton has come around to my way of thinking on Obamacare.

A federal job guarantee - a job for every American that wants one - has deep American roots.
For the last year, all eyes have been focused on the future of the Republican Party. Pundits love to talk about the collapse of the party, the fractures between social and fiscal conservatives, the number of party leaders who say they will not vote for the GOP nominee and what the party will do to rebuild the day after the election - in the wake of what the media now believes will be the defeat of Donald Trump.
Both Republican Mike Pence and Democrat Tim Kaine performed well during their televised debate Tuesday night. But Pence performed a big public service by hammering on the war on coal being waged by President Barack Obama and which presidential candidate Hillary Clinton wants to intensify.
