Opinion: Trump and his CPAC fans lead GOP down a losing path
Donald Trump's return to the national stage at the Conservative Political Action Convention (CPAC) was about what I expected: In a two-track speech where he was intermittently bored by a teleprompter and amused by his own adlibs, he teased a third presidential run, came home to his animating issue, immigration (which was inexplicably absent from his 2020 reelection campaign) and continued the farce that he actually won last November. He even ran through a "hit list" of Republicans to be ousted from the party.

[ cnn.com ]Opinion: Biden is racing a ticking clock to fulfill this campaign promise
When Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis ran for President against George H. W. Bush in 1988, he made competence one of his major campaign themes.

It's not about meaningless labels; it's about American values -- old-fashioned values like accountability and responsibility and respect for the truth."

[ cnn.com ]Opinion: The man who created President Donald Trump
When the news broke last October that Donald Trump had been diagnosed with Covid-19, legendary conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh immediately swooped in to help the campaign.
