At many American universities, standards and intellectual authority have given way to political correctness and indemnity politics. That same scenario, argues Joseph Epstein in the WSJ, is what has been playing out in the Democratic Party. By ceding moral authority to the far left, the Democrats have lost the power “to counter bizarre proposals with […]
Odds of Any Democrat Beating Trump “Increasingly Bleak”
At The American Spectator, Robert Stacy McCain notes that the “odds of any Democrat beating Donald Trump in November have become increasingly bleak.” Some of the Party’s elder-standard bearers like Chris Matthews and James Carville are sounding the alarm, but it may be too late. McCain writes (abridged): The odds of any Democrat beating Donald […]
New Hampshire Democrats Vote Sanders and Socialism
Matthew Walter asks at The Week, whether or not the Democratic establishment will be able to prevent Bernie Sanders from winning their party’s nomination. New Hampshire’s Democrats voted for Sanders and his socialism in last night’s state primary, making it even harder for the party’s poobahs to stop his momentum.

Are Democrats Fatally Divided?
The Democrats cannot afford another week like the one they just had. Should Donald Trump win the White House, it will be traceable to the first week in February, writes Peggy Noonan in the WSJ. The Unserious Party Iowa made them look the one way a great party cannot afford to look: unserious. The lack […]
Democrats Forced to Play the Hand They’re Dealt
The United States seems to have lived down Paul Krugman’s notorious 12:42 a.m. prediction of 9 November 2016: “If the question is when markets will recover, a first-pass answer is never.” President Trump had a lot to boast about Tuesday night, and boasting has never been Donald Trump’s short suit, Kyle Smith reminds readers in NRO. Would […]
Democrats Have Ceded the Independent Voter to Trump
George Neumayr explains at The American Spectator that Democrats with “doom-and-gloom socialist rhetoric” that “ill befits America’s history and traditions” have ceded the middle of the political spectrum. Stepping into the void Tuesday night was President Trump with his State of the Union address “full of material and moments appealing to everyone.” Neumayr writes (abridged): […]

To be sure, Iowa was long considered a tough state for him, given that the Democratic voters […]
Establishment Democrats Feel Heartbern in Iowa
At Real Clear Politics, Charles Lipson explains the dilemma facing the Democrat Party establishment in the face of Bernie Sanders’ strong performance in Iowa.
