What makes presidential campaigns successful?
Since the 1970s, the most critical factor in American presidential campaigns has not been candidate qualifications, name recognition, financial backing or the burning issues of the day. As important as these may be, the hallmark of successful campaigns over the last 50 years has been effective campaign strategy, usually led by effective campaign managers.

If they like their ObamaCare cash, let lower-income earners keep their ObamaCare cash
Despite President Joe Biden’s best efforts to convince the public that inflation has peaked, anyone who has shopped for groceries lately knows we’re not out of the woods.
And unfortunately, the pain is about to extend beyond the dairy aisle.
Next year, Americans are projected to suffer the largest jump in health care costs in more than a decade. A recent Mercer study projects a 6.5 percent increase in the cost of health plans. Although a majorit...
Brendan Boyle’s plan to end debt ceiling games once and for all
Days before the federal government is expected to shutter its doors, the media’s attention has been focused on House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and his raucous caucus.
Reneging on an agreement reached with President Biden last June to raise the debt ceiling and establish spending levels for the next fiscal year, McCarthy has yielded to the extreme Republican wing, which is demanding a shutdown showdown.
The de facto leader of the far-right win...
Government shutdown lessons for the GOP
The Republican-led House of Representatives and the Democratic-led Senate are at a budget impasse once again, which could lead to a government shutdown at the end of the month. A group of conservative and mainstream House Republicans reportedly worked out an agreement over the weekend to fund the government through October through a continuing resolution, but it appears that some far-right House Freedom Caucus members are panning the deal. A few are even arguing that a government shutdo...

No point at all: Please just end the daily White House press briefing
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has demonstrated once again why it's time to do away with the insulting spectacle known as the White House daily press briefing.
Rather than serve the public interest, the daily briefing has become a venue for White House propaganda. It has also become a springboard for shrewd, self-serving reporters who see the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room as a shortcut to easy notoriety. It has been this way for many years. It is...
