A few weeks ago, I joined many evangelicals—a number of Hispanics among them—in New York City for “A Conversation About America’s Future with Donald Trump and Ben Carson.” Trump was asked a “softball” question by a Hispanic leader: “You have often spoken of building a wall for our southern border, but how will you build a bridge to Hispanics, the fastest growing demographic in our nation?”
Trump’s answer was hardly satisfactory (more of that below). But it isn’t as if we H

Declaring America in crisis, Donald Trump pledged to cheering Republicans and still-skeptical voters Thursday night that as president he will restore the safety they fear they’re losing, strictly curb immigration and save the nation from Hillary Clinton’s record of “death, destruction, terrorism and weakness.”

Donald Trump, the billionaire businessman whose outsider campaign has both galvanized millions of voters and divided the Republican Party, is the 2016 GOP presidential nominee.
The New Yorker’s embrace by the Republican National Convention marks a remarkable moment in U.S. political history and validates a campaign that shattered precedent, defied pundits and usurped the GOP establishment.

If it weren’t for Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton would be the most disliked major-party presidential nominee in recent American history.
That qualifier, of course, is important here. Clinton doesn’t need to be liked; she needs to be liked slightly more than Trump in what will very likely boil down to a two-candidate race.
But it’s h
As if a speech by Scott Baio hadn’t made the night epic enough, Donald Trump debuted at the Republican National Convention Monday in a cloud of fog backlit by blinding lights.
Blaring from the loudspeakers: “We Are The Champions” by Queen.

Hillary Clinton has regained a lead over Donald Trump in their November match-up, three new polls out Sunday show, but the race remains a virtual dead heat as Republicans head to Cleveland for the quadrennial nominating convention.
Clinton beat Trump in a one-on-one matchup 46%-41% in an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll out Sunday that had a 3.1-percentage-point margin-of-error. Another 8% said they preferred neither candidate.

In a speech weighted with America’s complicated racial history, Democrat Hillary Clinton laced into Republican presidential rival Donald Trump on Wednesday, accusing him of fueling divisions among Americans over race and religion.
"His campaign is as divisive as any we have seen in our lifetimes," Clinton said at a campaign appearance at the Illinois state house in Springfield. "It is built on stoking mistrust and pitting American against American. It's there in everything he says and everythi

“Donald Trump’s support among African-American voters has plunged to a new low — and the New York Daily News wanted to make sure the Republican presidential candidate knew it,” Ed Mazza reported Wednesday for the Huffington Post.
“According to the Quinnipiac University poll, just 1 percent of African-American voters supported Trump. That was well behind the 6 percent of the black vote that went to Mitt Romney in 2012, and the 4 percent that supported John Mc
Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign is considering former House speaker Newt Gingrich and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in a shortlist of possible candidates for vice president, according to media reports.
Gingrich and Christie, the leading contenders, received vetting papers in the last 24 hours, the Associated Press reported Thursday. It said their inclusion was confirmed by people with direct knowledge of the process who spoke on condition of anonymity becau
BANGOR, Maine — No peace til Cleveland? Just when some thought the infighting was over, Donald Trump once again is taking on former Republican rivals and traditionally conservative allies.
The GOP presumptive nominee, less than three weeks from the party's convention, told a crowd on Wednesday that he isn't happy that some of his former rivals aren't endorsing him — and the way he sees it, there should be consequences.

The stakes this November are too high. We cannot allow Donald Trump anywhere near the White House.
Nearly eight years ago we made history by electing Barack Obama our forty-fourth president, the first African-American president to ever hold the job. He has been a uniter in times of deep division, a pillar of strength in times of great grief – a leader who understood the gravity of his words and issued them with the utmost care and thought. There have been a

Donald Trump, the GOP presidential nomination virtually in hand, is signaling a new phase of his outsider campaign, searching for a running mate who could help him govern and reaching out to one-time competitors in an effort to heal the fractured Republican Party.
On that, though, there are exceptions.
“I am confident I can unite much of”
Donald Trump is the presumptive Republican presidential nominee following a decisive victory in the Indiana primary and the decision by Ted Cruz to drop out of the race.
Though Trump has not formally secured the 1,237 delegates he needs to win the nomination — and likely won’t until June — there is no serious opposition left to block his path.

About 30 black students who were standing silently at the top of the bleachers at Donald Trump’s rally here Monday night were escorted out by Secret Service agents who said the presidential candidate had requested their removal before he began speaking.
The sight of the students, who were visibly upset, being led outside by law enforcement officials created a stir at a university that was a whites-only campus until 1963.

The leader of the white nationalist American Freedom Party thinks the golden-maned GOP frontrunner is leading a movement as big as the antiwar cause in the 1960s.
William Daniel Johnson is a practicing lawyer in Los Angeles.
He’s 54 years old with neatly styled silver hair and a kind of authoritatively quiet voice. He also serves as chairman of the American Freedom Party, a white nationalist group he co-founded. And he absolutely loves Donald Trump.
