Democrat Presidential candidate Rep. Beto O’Rourke drew a huge cheer at the last debate when he said, “Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47…” Let’s imagine that the Texas lawmaker miraculously gets to the White House and attempts to keep that promise. Bill Whittle, Scott Ott and Stephen Green game it out.
President Trump “quits” John Bolton, his third National Security Adviser, over “strong disagreements”. Why does the President hire people who disagree with him and then fire them because they don’t agree with him? John Bolton’s ideology and reputation preceded him like a brass band, but a president who wants to extract us from foreign military engagements hired a well-known “hawk”.
President Trump Tweet-Trolls the Iranian regime using a satellite photo of a “catastrophic accident” involving its Safir SLV missile at Semnan Launch Site One. The American Left goes ballistic, accusing Trump of leaking the classified image.
Women now occupy more top positions in Democrat presidential campaigns, and at equal pay, than at any time past. Why has it taken so long for Democrats to treat women with fairness? Does the presence of women in the top echelons of presidential campaigns reshape the competitive landscape for 2020? How can Trump, a known sexist, compete?
While President Trump says the economy is great, and the coming Chinese trade deal will be great, White House talk of a payroll tax cut lends credence to the media’s recession narrative. Democrats running for president in 2020 would love to neuter the incumbent’s best campaign issue. Could Trump turn the tide by lifting the punitive tariffs against China to boost the economy and bring much-needed relief to U.S. farmers?
Leading Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren proposes a 30% gun tax plus a 50% ammo tax which she says will add up to an 80% drop in gun deaths. Of course, there’s more to it than than, including an end to the filibuster in the Senate. Can Betsy Warren ride her sensible gun math equation to the White House, and if so, why doesn’t she stay in the Senate so she can help pass it?
Profusely sweating, pacing, pointing, bragging and shouting to reporters over the motors of Marine One, Donald Trump presents a vision of a president unlike any in recent memory. In an age of video, President Trump’s appearance and approach convey messages beyond words. Bill Whittle analyzes the showmanship and stagecraft of this unique president.
While drunkblogging the Democratic presidential debates this week, Stephen Green suffered a haunting flash-forward: “What if one of these jokers wins?” Not content to replay this endlessly inside his own private Hell, Steve puts the question to Bill Whittle and Scott Ott…and you! How much of the Constitution will survive inside the Democrat presidential blast radius? Does America need to elect a hard socialist to innoculate itself against the disease forever?
Tom Steyer, who has led a two year campaign to impeach President Trump, and devoted years as a climate crusader alarmed at global warming, just announced he’ll spend $100 million to get the Democratic nomination for president. Can Steyer’s billions buy the White House? Should the Democrats pick a wealthy populist outsider to face Trump? How long can Progressives endure a rich, white, male, heterosexual, professing Christian, candidate?
Newly-leaked dispatches from British Ambassador to the U.S., Sir Kim Darroch, to his colleagues in the UK Foreign Office portray the Trump White House as chaotic, riven by internal divisions, and ignorant of how to conduct foreign relations.
In the wake of the first round of Democratic presidential primary debates, Americans are left with the impression that climate change and Mitch McConnell are the two greatest, imminent threats to the country, and to life on Earth. But even if Mitch McConnell personally causes climate change, can Democrats win the White House?
Just a month after announcing his presidential candidacy, former Vice President Joe Biden makes himself scarce on the campaign trail, while Sanders, Warren, Gillibrand, Buttigieg and others take to the hustings frequently before peppy crowds. As Gropin’ Joe runs away from running, will he inevitably squander his “inevitability”?
President Trump meets privately with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who emerge announcing “goodwill” and a common commitment to spend $2 trillion on infrastructure spending. Did Trump get played? Will Democrat insistence on environmental regulations drag out projects and jack up their price?
Politico reports that there are too many Democrat candidates running for president in the 2020 race….according to “Science.” Voters can’t possibly choose among them. Bill Whittle, Stephen Green and Scott Ott have a grown-up conversation with Science about this assertion.
Poll analyst Nate Silver at fivethirtyeight advances six theories on why the approval rating for President Trump gets no post-Mueller report bump. The men of Right Angle — Bill Whittle, Scott Ott and Stephen Green — mansplain it to Nate.
