  Frank Luntz is probably the best-known Republican Party pollster in the country. At a briefing he gave to for Global Counsel, a British strategic advising company he consults, he said he's "never seen a campaign more mis-calibrated than the Trump campaign. Frankly, his staff ought to be brought up on charges of political malpractice. It is the worst campaign I’ve ever seen and I’ve been watching them since 1980. They’re on the wrong issues. They’re on the wrong message.

Albatross by Nancy OhanianThis morning, Politico made it sound like the McCarthy vs Scalise battle to take over as Speaker is breaking news. It isn't. The two of them have been aware Ryan won't be running in November and they have been quietly courting supporters for the better part of a month as Ryan gets ready for the big announcement.

Capitol Hill power-players Schumer & Ryan are NOT admired by young peopleFrank Luntz is a well-known right-wing pollster, consultant and strategist.

A friend of mine-- a wise friend of mine-- told me she thinks Bernie's going to win the primary in a  walk... but will lose to Trumpf, Cruz or Rubio because the Clintons will utterly destroy the Democratic Party, just as their dear friend Trumpf is destroying the Republican Party. Interesting proposition. The constitution purposely left out any mention of parties and the Founding Fathers were disdainful of their influence. Today we can see why; neither party deserves to exist.

Trump claims-- on twitter , of course-- that he will finally be opening his legendary purse strings. Beware the moths that fly out.

Maybe Republicans and Republican-lite media elites expected Hillary to come off like she is in their sick, twisted fantasies.

On came Morning Joe, better known as the Hate Hillary Hour. But the 3 or 4 minutes I could of that wretched show was all about how she won the debate last night.

Texas fascist Ted Cruz is counting on Jeb Bush and Donald Trump to destroy each other so that the nomination falls into his own lap.
