(Rich Galen, Mullings.com) – I spent the weekend on T. Boone Pickens’ ranch, Mesa Vista, with about two dozen really smart people talking about energy and transportation. As those of you who have ever sat in a meeting – or even had lunch – with me know, I have the attention span of...

(Jim Clark) – Stories such as Donald Trump’s town meeting being disrupted by protestors and Hillary Clinton’s marathon examination by the Congressional Benghazi Committee tend to dominate the political news, eclipsing the other candidates of both parties who are not deemed newsworthy on any given day. So what can we, voters, learn about where the candidates...

(Fred Weinberg) – The mainstream media has a love/hate relationship with Donald Trump and to a lesser extent Ben Carson. It lines up with the hardcore conservative wing of the GOP—it wants them dead, cold with a stake through their hearts. Financially, however, these guys bring eyeballs.

(Nathan Gonzales, Roll Call) – The race for president will continue to dominate the 2016 landscape, with...

(Chuck Muth, Citizen Outreach) – The first presidential debate lived up to its high expectations, but FOX News clearly decided to take an early swipe at Donald Trump right out of the box with its “Hands Up, Don’t Scoot” question. I think it backfired on them. Yes, the folks in the audience...

(Ron Knecht & Geoffrey Lawrence) – With 15 major Republicans already declared – the best presidential field since Ronald Reagan ran for re-election – GOP voters should be able to tap a very strong candidate to lead their party next year.  Which one would best unify and represent them? Good cases certainly can...

(Fred Weinberg) – I’m not nearly as put off by Donald Trump as are many people who identify themselves or their politics as Republican.  In fact, I think his presence is good for the process and good for America. I’m not prepared to endorse him at the moment, but it would appear...
