It’s not easy to keep up with this one. Late last night I added an update to this previous post of mine on the subject. But for further updates, I refer you to this post at Legal Insurrection.

Describing the Trump voter
Here are some observations from commenter “Bob” on the Trump voters he met and talked to while canvassing for Cruz about a week ago. I thought they were worth highlighting: I canvassed for Cruz, and found it quite illuminating speaking … Continue reading →
Free speech and the election: protests force canceling of Trump event in Chicago
What happened to cause the cancelation of the Trump rally at the University of Illinois for security reasons due to protests was a subset of a growing tendency of the left to shut down free speech on several fronts. Note … Continue reading →
Update on the Michelle Fields story
[UPDATED further below] Trump has made a statement, and a lot of video has emerged, on the incident where Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski is alleged to have grabbed Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields by the arm and thrown her to … Continue reading →
Ace explains why he went from Trump-curious to anti-Trump
A good post by Ace. Ace’s blog is one of the few I follow regularly, and for a while I’ve noticed that Ace (who has for a long time been very angry at the GOP establishment) was amenable to Trump’s … Continue reading →
Did Trump’s campaign manager assault a Breitbart reporter ?

Another reversal from Trump, this time about giving illegal orders to the military
First Trump walked back his immigration reversal from the debate (I discussed the original positions and the reversal here), without explanation or apology. Yesterday he did the same with his statements during the debate on ordering the military to follow … Continue reading →
Reflections on the March 3 GOP debate: Trump’s ever-changing visa program, and plans as military leader
Many things happened during last night’s GOP debate. The level of debate discourse (can I use highfalutin words like “discourse” without being called a snobbishly out-of-touch member of the “elites”?) has fallen even further and we are now reduced to … Continue reading →
On Romney’s anti-Trump speech and the establishment
First of all, I don’t think Romney’s speech will do much either way. No one is going to decide one thing or another based on a speech that most people don’t even know about. Political junkies are into it, and … Continue reading →
