The third debate for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination Wednesday seems to have been the best showcase so far for the differences between the self-proclaimed conservative candidates who want the White House. Sure, every single one of the A candidates (we’re not even counting the Happy Hour debaters) is the “only one up here” to do […]
Don’t expect the first Democratic presidential debate Tuesday night to light a match to the two GOP grudge matches that have already come and gone and gained record ratings for Fox and CNN. Hillary Clinton is just not as entertaining as Donald Trump. And Bernie Sanders isn’t quite as fiery a speaker as Marco Rubio. […]
Jeb Bush‘s once almost certain nomination as the GOP presidential choice seems farther and farther away each day and he seems increasingly desperate to gain that ground back. Maybe that’s why he felt the need to embellish his business experience in an interview Thursday on Fox News’ Happening Now. Asked to differentiate himself from his […]
That was actually fun! Ladra loved the interaction at the GOP’s debate Wednesday night on CNN, but it’s too late to give a full analysis. We can get to that in the morning. Right now, it’s time for the instant, knee-jerk observations, relevant or not. It felt like they talked about immigration for far too […]

As Republican nominees for the 2016 presidential nomination prepare for the first debate Thursday by rehearsing their issues stances and going over (and over and over) their message points, political junkies in the 305 — where we have not one but two local boys in the running — prepare by purchasing bulk amount of chips […]
Anyone subscribed to any of the presidential candidates’ email lists get the pleas for donations, which have been coming furiously in the past few days as we approach Tuesday’s deadline. “Dear Friend,” they usually start before begging for your $5 or a whatever-you-can afford donation because it really, really, really makes a difference, they invariably […]
We keep hearing that the national Republican Party wants to include more Hispanics and appeal to more Latino voters. They keep saying that they respect our values and are better able to represent them. But when one of their own calls a large group of Hispanics in the U.S. drug dealers and rapists, the GOP […]
Two of the people at the Miami-Dade Lincoln Day Dinner Saturday night left with a phenomenal impression of Sen. Marco Rubio and support his run for presidency. But they weren’t guests. They didn’t buy the tickets that started at $150 for a stuffed chicken dinner with jumbo asparagus. They served the plates of chicken and […]
“Marco! Marco! Marco! Marco!” Sen. Marco Rubio was in da house Saturday night. His house. The former West Miami Commissioner, state rep and House Speaker was definitely among friends and fans when he spoke at the Miami-Dade Lincoln Day Dinner as a real contender for president. There were about 20 protesters outside, rallied by the […]
Expect former Gov. Jeb Bush to talk about his family at the anticipated announcement this morning that he is running for president. Not just his famous father and brother, who have already served their own stints as the leader of the free world, but his Mexican wife who ultimately is what brought him to Miami […]
