Early 2016 saw the presidential race go into full swing. It seems like a lifetime ago, but the year started with Presidential debates, the most interesting being those on the Republican side. 16 men and one woman began their campaigns in earnest.
GOP
Trump’s Hail Mary
I'm not his biggest fan, but Trump showed me something Wednesday. He showed me that he's willing to do the hard things, he's willing to put his candidacy on the line. Meanwhile, Hillary has been MIA for most of the past fortnight. She hasn't even gone to Louisiana after both Trump and President Obama went. Baton Rouge should be mostly dry by now, will she ever go?
Should other Republicans emulate Trump’s pivot to the black community?
Republicans have to either push to admit more states into the union with favorable demographics, or do better with the minority vote in the current fifty.
The faulty rational of persistent #nevertrump’ers
This was to finally be the year of the movement conservative. What none of them realized, was that the white, non-college educated working man had abandoned the Republican party two elections ago.
What the Trump campaign could be doing better.
Don't waste effort defending statements and actions that have little or nothing to do with winning the White House.
Election strategy revisited.
There will be no shortage negative of ads and personal attacks in the coming months. Conservatism has so much more to offer America than that.
Quick Thoughts 5/3/16
The Cruz-Kasich alliance is better termed a mutual non-aggression pact. It's true that Kasich didn't call for his supporters to vote for Cruz to stop Trump in Indiana, but he did pull his operation out of Indiana in favor of more fertile grounds in Washington and New Mexico. Some in the media were quick to call it a failure, the truth is we won't know until those states vote, starting on Tuesday.
The Northeast Enjoys the Primary Spotlight
The presidential primaries are usually settled by the time many states in the Northeast vote.

Rarely does Pennsylvania factor into a presidential primary, but it will this year.
The Odd Couple of Trump and Carson
Carson adds an air of civility while providing some meat to Donald’s thinner policies. Some of the doctor’s loyal followers, those who admire his reserved, quite strength and wisdom will have a tough time following him down this new path he has chosen.
