Teflon Don: Trump at 32 Percent in New Post-Debate Poll
Teflon Don: Trump at 32 Percent in New Post-Debate Poll by Matthew Boyle He is truly “Teflon Don.” Republican frontrunner billionaire Donald Trump has jumped seven points—a remarkable hike in the polls—after the GOP debate in Cleveland, Ohio, last week and a subsequent spat with Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly.

Gun control? Americans increasingly see more guns as the solution, not the problem. By Amber Phillips Gun control is still going nowhere in Congress. And in fact, with every major mass shooting in America, gun-rights supporters seem to be digging in even further — and bringing the rest of America along with them.

The Disastrous Neocon Mindset
The Disastrous Neocon Mindset August 6, 2015 The neocon mindset, which envisions U.S. military force remaking the Mideast at the point of a gun or the warhead of a drone, has confronted a string of disasters and faces a new challenge from President Obama’s successful diplomacy with Iran, but the mindset will likely survive, says ex-CIA analyst Paul R.
