Clinton's fakery was so deft and deeply ingrained that it was impossible to tell where it ended and the real Bill Clinton began. This constituted a kind of political genius.

Parents are the most likely to be victims of the violence of their mentally ill children.

Clearly [Donald] Trump likes the way business executives and generals think and talk much more than policy professionals.

It is Hillary's lot in life not to be able to fake it well...

Republican hawks like John McCain and Lindsey Graham who are very skeptical of [Rex Tillerson]. At the same time the Democrats will portray him as a climate criminal because he heads a big oil company. So, he'll be in for really tough confirmation hearings.

If Hillary can't win the nomination - and it's clearly very, very hard for her - she's basically a stalking horse for McCain. She's preparing the demographic ground for McCain, by getting white working-class Democrats used to (if you will) not voting for Obama.

The debate over troop levels will rage for years; it is...beside the point.
