0dd thought: Is it possible that Iran’s deeply flawed quasi-democracy is working better than America’s, esp. on GOP side? — Stephen Walt (@stephenWalt) February 28, 2016 This retard is a professor of International Affairs at the Kennedy School of Government, at least that what his Twitter blurb says.

#NeverTrump
It was asked of me why I’m not giving full throated support for Cruz. As I alluded to in the replying comment, I have the benefit of some time to watch how things play out. Super Tuesday, plus a few weekend primaries prior to my state voting on the 15th. And I want to be clear….
Commentary Now Has Establishment Tendencies? Oy!
I started reading Commentary Magazine when I was a teenager, and I was always impressed by the hint of rebellion in most of what I read. They were anti-communists when Détente was an actual thing, and communism was a popular theme on campuses across the country. They saw the real evil in progressivism, and the…
Can Anyone Beat Trump In The Primary?
No. End of Post. Ok, Ok you want some actual analysis behind this? Fine here it is. Full disclosure in NV I overestimated Rubio and underestimated Trump by a lot. I was spot on with Carson and Cruz. I overestimated Kasich by a bit. Combine that with my other predictions posted here and you…
The NY Times: Often Wrong, But Never In Doubt

Twitter, Hamfistedness And The Marketplace Of Ideas.

Donald Trump: The Republican Party’s Lifeline — If He Loses In The General Election
Many on the real Right (as opposed to the statist Republican elite) are positively gleeful of the remote prospect….the faintest possibility….that the Republican Party will disintegrate with another election loss in November. It is difficult to reconcile the yawning gulf between what many rank and file Republicans want from their party and what the moneyed…
Not So Bold Predictions Part 3: South Caroline…ah-ah-ah!
Anything anything? OK, bad joke. Fine, whatever. I’m writing this just before 3CT on Friday. (It won’t post until Saturday all info was current as of then. I don’t plan on making any changes, if I do…well I’ll just change this and y’all will be none the wiser.) In any case: AND AWAY WE GO: I…
Commentary Magazine Misses The Malign Effects Of Obama’s Second Term
Contrary to Noah Rothman’s suggestion that Obama’s accomplishments during his second term are “written in sand,” he has managed to accelerate the coarsening of our political discourse, solidify racial and ethnic divisions in America that were once considered a thing of the past, and destroyed our already rapidly decaying credibility and power in foreign affairs….
