Mr. Trump alternated between rambling statements and grandiose boasts when he […]

Matt Lauer’s moderation of NBC’s Commander-in-Chief forum was widely panned—and deservedly so—but Lauer’s fault was not that he did something unusual.

It included the three core elements of what has been a relentless double standard: Antagonism and scorn for Clinton, an unhealthy obsession with her emails, and sheepish acquiescence […]

Speaking to Sean Hannity in 2015, Donald Trump said this: The problem we have right now—we have a society that sits back and says we don’t have to do anything. Eventually, the 50 percent cannot carry—and it’s unfair to them—but cannot carry the other 50 percent. Trump echoed the same sentiment in an interview with MSNBC’s Kasie Hunt: […]

If there is any lesson we learned from the Bush era, it’s that the answer to terrorism isn’t to undermine our own values. When we devolve into a culture of torture, when we curtail civil liberties, we play into our enemies’ hands. With that perspective in mind, read this June 29 NBC News article: Donald Trump on Tuesday […]
