Don't talk to the help
Via Drudge, Politico revives a story - how Hillary Clinton doesn't talk with reporters following her campaign.
She has the set interviews.
The talks with people at events.
But the people who follow her daily - and can see trends others miss - don't get a chance to ask questions.

Another endorsement for Trump
Earlier this week, President Obama said he didn't think Donald Trump would be elected president.
Today, Pope Francis had discussions about Donald Trump and walls.
Do they both know their comments are going to help Trump?

Regrets, he'll have a few more
Now President Obama regrets his actions as a Senator, working with Democratic colleagues to filibuster Samuel Alito's confirmation to the Supreme Court.
When the Republicans win in November, and start using his methods to undo his policies, he'll have more things to regret.
Which is why you use restraint in power.
Because you're going to move out of power one day.

Arrogantly shabby meets arrogant
Just a few more days for Republicans to hang around South Carolina.
And my old stomping grounds.
Donald Trump will be in Pawleys Island, known as "Arrogantly Shabby," Friday afternoon.
Marco Rubio has a lunchtime event planned nearby.
Hope they take a moment to enjoy the sea breeze.

Obama doomed Jeb's campaign
As Jeb Bush's campaign slowly rolls to an end, time to answer why.
Why did all the money and establishment support not produce votes?
Instead, they produced reminders of the problems left over from his brother's administration.
George W. Bush did his best to leave the country in good hands.
Iraq was moving toward security in 2009.
Now the Middle East is in more turmoil.
Most of the current problems can be traced to Obama administration policies, but they prefer to blame the Iraq invasion.
The economic troubles of the fall of 2008 linger.
Seven years after that, the economy should be doing much better.
But Obama's policies continue to slow the nation, and he continues to blame Bush era policies.
If Obama had been doing a better job with the economy and internationally, "blame Bush" would not hold sway.
And a Bush brother would have had a better chance.

These are Trump's people
A protester tried to disrupt Donald Trump's rally Tuesday in South Carolina.
Two men escorted him out, and Trump asked them to the stage.
You may not like Trump, but these guys do. And they are proud of his campaign.

Replacing Cal Ripken Jr. with Ryan Minor
Do you remember Cal Ripken Jr.'s consecutive games streak?
Do you remember who took his place on the field the night the streak ended?
Ryan Minor.
He played college basketball at Oklahoma, and has been a minor league manager for years.
But he wasn't Ripken at third base.
Nobody could be.
Democrats need to understand that Antonin Scalia was not just a Supreme Court justice.
He was the best for years.
A legend.
Someone you know it will be hard to live without, even though you know the day would one day come.
President Obama will eventually name someone to take Scalia's seat.
But they will never take his place.
Never come close.

A compromise Court candidate
Can President Obama find a candidate for the Supreme Court people can agree on?
How about nominating Ted Cruz?
I'd supported that choice.
Trump would pay for any expense to make it happen.
The Republicans in the Senate would probably approve him at the news conference.

Delay. Delay. Delay
The Democrats heard Donald Trump talking about the Supreme Court vacancy Saturday.
They thought he meant take your time.
No.
He was giving Democrats his recommendation for the spot.
Tom Delay, Delay, Delay.

How we view the living Constitution
I enjoy watching Democrats like Elizabeth Warren talking about the constitution and the part on advise and consent.
Hey, isn't it a living Constitution.
If Democrats aren't bound by its words, should Republicans also?

Ask Bernie and Hillary
No one said President Obama couldn't nominate someone to be on the Supreme Court.
Just that Republicans don't want to vote on it.
There is a campaign going on.
Will Obama's choice be the one that Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton would make?
Sure, they will probably support Obama.
But is his first choice also their first choice?
If not, should they have a say?

Nice try, scheduling guy
Monday was originally scheduled as a day off from school - teacher workday.
A few weeks ago, the county realized it would be too busy to have school on primary election day and made Monday a school day.
Mother Nature had other plans.
Sleep in kids, along with your parents who have President's Day off.

The Bork question
Democrats using the Anthony Kennedy confirmation story may not be helping the current cause.
Yes, the Kennedy confirmation came in early 1988 - an election year.
The question is why?
The answer is simple.
Democrats, including Joe Biden, voted against the nomination of Robert Bork in the fall of 1987.
They used their power of advise and consent to delay filling the Court vacancy.
It took a few more months to get Kennedy nominated and approved.
If you agree with that use of advise and consent, how do you disagree with the current Senate taking seriously its advise and consent role.

First Monday in October
So you want President Obama to nominate someone to replace Justice Scalia on the Supreme Court.
How does the calendar work for that?
It's mid February.
Almost all the important cases of this term have been heard or scheduled.
Usually the last case is heard in late March, and opinions released in June.
No need for someone before then.
The next term starts the first Monday of October.
Five weeks before Election Day.
When we'll have two candidates who'd like input in Supreme Court appointments that they will have to deal with.
There's time to make the right decision.

Time for Ginsburg to retire
The sudden passing of Antonin Scalia thrust the Supreme Court back into the political foreground.
But it's always there.
The oldest member of the court is Ruth Bader Ginsburg at age 83.
The past few summers, there was pondering that she should give President Obama the chance to appoint her replacement.
Especially in 2014, when Democrats still controlled the Senate.
Scalia represented the conservative side of the Court, and replacing him with an Obama liberal tilts the Court.
But if Republicans stop Obama from replacing Scalia now, a new Republican president could put a conservative in his place next year.
Then replace liberal Ginsburg with a conservative as well.
Imagine the fight over both of those choices.
People say they hate the Court being such a partisan group, but each side wants jurists who mostly vote their way.
Instead, Ginsburg could step up and take the opportunity to keep the court from drastically flipping.
Obama could replace her with a young liberal, and put a place-holder moderate in Scalia's place.
Maybe even an older Republican from the Senate.
We could work together.
There could be a compromise that both sides could feel good about.
I know.
It's unlikely to happen.
But we can hope that partisans will think about the good of the country for once.

Time to focus
DaTech Guy has a simple opinion about the passing of Justice Scalia.
I can’t think of anything that could raise the stakes for election 2016 more.
Any GOP senator who allows Barack Obama a vote on a replacement they should be drawn and quartered.

Donald Trump and Luke Bryan
I had the country music station on, and there was a Luke Bryan song playing.
He's quite popular, but not among those who like their country music the way it used to be.
People think there's too much pop in his country.
But lots of people like him.
They buy his records and pack arenas for his concerts
Does Bryan have a place in country music?
Donald Trump has the Bryan approach to Republican politics.
He doesn't do things the traditional way, but he has his fans.
Can old school Republicans adapt to living in Trump's world?

No complains about President Trump, right?
Andy Schmookler takes on Blue Virginia to praise President Obama's executive actions.
What else can he do with obstructing Republicans?
Something else.
Anything else.
The main reason - January 20, 2017.
The Obama term will end.
Will his executive actions remain in place when he departs?
Or will his successor execute actions to reverse Obama?
Why not?
That's why you're supposed to work with Congress and the Courts - to build actions that last.
Not your own whims.
When Donald Trump wins election in November, do you expect Schmookler to consistently praise executive actions?
I think he'll execute an amazing reversal.

Who's afraid of the big bad Trump
Scott Adams continues pondering Donald Trump's candidacy - asking why people are afraid he might become president.
Trump, on the other hand, actually scares people. I have seen people’s bodies twist up and go into full panic at the thought of him being president. I’m talking about actual, literal, bodily fear, as if a monster is already in house and you don’t know where it is hiding. Even professional members of the media feel this fear.

Math Lives Matter
Being on the Obama email list, you see some scary things.
None more scary than what arrived this afternoon.
He talks about his budget.
and quickly says
If you take a look beyond the numbers and math of it all.
Isn't a budget supposed to be about math.
Making your priorities work within the numbers?
Not Obama.
His bloated budget shows his priorities.
Priority number one - not make hard decisions.
We have more priorities than money, so let's pretend to fund them all.
With nine trillion dollars added to the deficit during his tenure - and setting us on the path for more trillions in the future - future priorities will likely be crippled while we pay interest on our debt.
Too bad that hasn't been an Obama priority.

She traveled while the world burned
Mark Steyn looks around his northern New Hampshire home and how the primary went.
Hillary's real problem is that she's running on biography, and no one gives a crap. The consultants always say candidates need a "compelling personal story". Really? Trump doesn't have one, nor does Sanders, aside from occasional glimpses of his Soviet honeymoon, etc. No one cares about Kasich being the son of a mailman or Rubio being the son of a bartender. But whatever the opposite of a "compelling personal story" is, Hillary is it.

Before New Hampshire, Hillary has a 20-point lead on Bernie Sanders.

Maybe her lead was based on name recognition only.
And now everybody knows Sanders.
