Ann Coulter penned an opinion piece on how businessman Donald Trump is like Ronald Reagan and how the media is clueless about it.
The Hill reported:
Neurotically ignoring the fact that Donald Trump’s position on immigration has catapulted him to the lead for the Republican presidential nomination, the media diminish his soaring poll numbers with a scrolling series of rationalizations.
Trump might or might not be the nominee, but the dismissals of him are wishful thinking, not historical fact.
All summer, for example, we were smugly assured that polls mean nothing this far in advance of an election. Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-Fla.) campaign manager Terry Sullivan assured Politico: “Show me the candidate who was first place in August who ended up winning in February.” …
…In fact, most candidates who were in first place the summer before an election year went on to be the nominee. Luckily, Politico is not a website primarily concerned with politics or it might have known this.
Among them: Ronald Reagan in August 1979, Walter Mondale in August 1983, Michael Dukakis (tied for first) in August 1987, Bob Dole in August 1995; George W. Bush in August 1999 and Mitt Romney in August 2011.
The years when the nominee wasn’t ahead the summer before an election are the outliers, explained by unique circumstances: President George H.W. Bush’s formidable Iraq War poll numbers in the summer of 1991; the GOP electorate going mad in 2007; and, that same year, the Democrats not working up the nerve to tell feminists that Hillary Clinton wasn’t going to be the nominee.
Not only is Trump’s total domination of the polls significant — not to be confused with “insignificant” — but his supporters’ intensity is also consequential. Intense voters man phone banks and talk fence-sitters into voting for their guy.

Representative Paul Ryan is set to meet with a group of House conservatives Tuesday as he weighs a potential run to replace Speaker John Boehner under pressure from fellow Republicans.
The Wisconsin Republican will get together with the House Freedom Caucus, a group of almost 40 hard-liners whose opposition to Boehner drove him to announce that he would give up the speakership and leave Congress. Ryan, Boehner and all House Republicans will then meet behind closed doors later Tuesday evening to discuss plans for the coming weeks.
Ryan spokesman Brendan Buck said the lawmaker plans to meet with members of the Freedom Caucus at their request. Ryan is “always willing to talk with his colleagues,” the spokesman said.

Joe Biden is going to run for president — and he's poised to eventually replace Hillary Clinton as Democratic frontrunner, Emmy award-winning journalist Sharyl Attkisson tells Newsmax TV.
"He'll shoot to number one on the Democrat side," Attkisson said Tuesday on "The Steve Malzberg Show."
"If she's not more popular now among the constituency … then that just signals some trouble for her and I don't think things are necessarily going to get a lot better.
"There are more bumps in the road. [Biden] may be perceived as having less baggage at this point, even though he's got
The vice president is expected to announce on Wednesday he is throwing his hat in the ring, just a day before the former secretary of state is set to testify before the House committee on Benghazi.

Former US senator Jim Webb abandoned his 2016 Democratic nomination challenge Tuesday, saying he was not comfortable in either political party and leaving the door open for an independent White House bid.
"I'm withdrawing from any consideration of being the Democratic Party's nominee," Webb told reporters in Washington.
"How I remain as a voice will depend on what kind of support I am shown in the coming days and weeks as I meet with people from all sides of America's political landscape."
Webb, 69, is a decorated former US Marine who fought in Vietnam and served as Republican president Ronald Reagan's secretary of the navy in the 1980s. He then joined the Democratic Party and was elected to the Senate in 2006, serving one term.
But he blasted the Democratic "hierarchy" as an unfair operator that has come close to anointing former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, the frontrunner for the nomination.

Republican presidential hopeful Ben Carson says that “logic and common sense” make clear it’s time to talk about eliminating gun free zones, not guns.
A new poll from Citizens United, conducted among two thousand members between October 16 and October 20, shows overwhelming support for both the work of the House Benghazi Committee and the appointment of an impartial special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton’s email server.
Bernie Sanders could capitalize on the most left-wing Dems in 15 years

Businessman Donald Trump told Sean Hannity tonight he should beat Hillary Clinton very easily based on her record.

Yes Donald but you know they have the voter fraud in place, hoping for the best. She should be behind bars.
