A CYCLE FOR SURVIVAL CHALLENGE

Ken Berwitz This is a challenge to all of the politicians I postcomments about, regardless of whether they are positive or negative  — and everyone else.

MICHAEL MOORE: NICHE MARKETER

Ken Berwitz I greatly admire Michael Moore.  Not as a political thinker, that\’s for sure.  But as a niche marketer. Moore figured out a long time ago that if he positioned himself as a lunatic leftwinger – we\’re talking light years beyond just about anyone else – most of the country would avidly dislike him, most of the rest would either dislike, disregard...

RUBIO RISING?

Ken Berwitz When a vacuum is created, something will fill it. When a political vacuum is created, a politician will fill it.

THE QUOTE OF THE DAY

Ken Berwitz Today\’s quote comes to us from the reliably liberal/left, Hillary-loving MSNBCer, Andrea Mitchell.  This is how she reported the behavior of Hillary Clinton and her campaign people: I think we\’ve learned that they were in a meltdown as thisrace got closer and closer, and they started, you know, e-mailing that theywere going to win, because they felt that Polk...

Ken Berwitz The Iowa caucuses are now history.  Sort of, On the Republican side, the good news is that Donald Trump got taken down a peg or two, by losing to Ted Cruz.  The bad news is that he lost to Ted Cruz.
