THE NEW HAMPSHIRE DEBATE

Ken Berwitz I\’ll start with an admission:  I only saw the last 40 or so minutes of last night\’s New Hampshire debate.  And, based on what I\’ve read about it this morning I missed some fireworks between Chris Christie and Marco Rubio, and between Jeb Bush and Donald Trump. I\’m particularly sorry about missing the Christie Rubio to-do, because it apparently...

THE IOWA RECOUNT

Ken Berwitz The Des Moines Register is reporting that, albeit grudgingly, the Democrat Party will now recount the Iowa primary caucus delegates.  Given their obvious reluctance to do this, I am not entirely confident the recount will be any fairer than the original one.  But we can hope, can\’t we?  Now the big question: what if a recount changes the result, and it turns...

ELIZABETH: THERE GOES THE BIG ONE

Ken Berwitz “Elizabeth, here comes the big one”:  Fred Sanford, portrayed by the great Redd Foxx, clutching his chest and calling out to his late wife, to show how serious his situation was. Suppose Elizabeth Warren came out in support of Hillary Clinton?  Would that benefit her among the left wing of the Democrat Party – which, these days, is an extremely (and I...

HILLARY\’S SPEECH IMPEDIMENT

Ken Berwitz If Hillary Clinton did not say anything problematic in her speeches  – her $200,000+ speeches – to companies like Goldman Sachs, why would she make sure the general public cannot find out what she said? Excerpted from Katharine Q. Seelye\’s article in The New York Times: In response to a question at Thursday night\’s debate, Hillary Clintonsaid...

OBAMACARNAGE (CONT.)

Excerpted from John Merline\’s article at Investors Business Daily: About 12.7 million people enrolled in ObamaCare plans thisyear, which is almost 9...

HILLARY CLINTON AS A RIGHT-WINGER

Ken Berwitz Is Hillary Clinton part of the vast right wing conspiracy?  To paraphrase Pogo, has she met the enemy and found that that it is her? How about Bernie Sanders?  Is he a right winger? Please stop laughing.  That question was asked of Hillary Clinton during last night\’s Democrat debate, and Bernie Sanders\’ right wing credentials were enumerated in Ms...

RACISM AND SELF-SEGREGATION

Ken Berwitz Let me start with a question:  can you resolve racism by creating more racism?  Personally, I don\’t think you can. . Now another question:  can you resolve perceived racism by self-segregation?  Personally, I don\’t think that is even possible. But, if you believe Tre\’vell Anderson\’s article in the Los Angeles Times, that is...

WHY IS THERE NO IOWA RECOUNT?

Ken Berwitz The more we hear about Hillary Clinton\’s “win” in the Iowa primary caucuses, the more it stinks. As I pointed out in a blog just yesterday, even the Hillary-friendly Des Moines Register has said as much, and wants a recount of delegates. So why isn\’t it happening? I think we may have an answer, via the following excerpts from Chuck Ross\’s latest...
