NOTE: These are very early (and small) data. I would not start reading too much into these until we have more ballots turned in. The initial wave of voters are uniquely motivated to vote, so may have a different demographic breakdown than the eventual aggregate numbers. Nonetheless, the data is posted, because it is there, and I know people are …

This Presidential Election Doesn’t Really Matter

Brian BradyBrian Brady 27 Comments

In about three weeks, the country is going to vote for a President. When the election is over, 27% of the country will be “spiking the ball,” 25% of the country is going to be depressed, and the rest country will be thinking “WTF just happened in 2016?” No matter who wins, here is what you need to know: (1) …

Is the Republic in danger? Chill-ax.

Duane DichiaraDuane Dichiara 6 Comments

So, it used to be annoying that half a dozen of my friends posted insane political memes and conspiracies. Now their behavior is the rule, rather than the exception. Folks, the Republic was set up in a fairly diligent manner — expressly to stop or slow wild behavior among any of the three branches of government. No one of either …

Dave Roberts: The Temperament of Donald Trump and the Ethics of Hillary Clinton

Brian BradyUndesignated Leave a Comment

You can’t make this stuff up. Trump brags about trying to hit on married women and accuses Clinton of having tremendous hate in her heart in a debate. Shady Dave Roberts got caught abusing his female employees and accuses Gaspar of “ugliness” for communicating his ethical transgressions to the voters. This is the oddest election cycle I’ve seen in my …

Chargers resurrect attacks on Chris Cate

Guest ColumnGuest Column 3 Comments

From Sage Naumann… After the latest poll, Spanos & Co. went back to the drawing board and decided to re-hash a tactic that they proclaimed as “brilliant!” to stop the bleeding of their campaign…and team.

The System is Rigged Against Republicans

Brian BradyBrian Brady 17 Comments

The system is rigged against Republicans, but you already know that. Let’s start here: Hillary Clinton will be the next POTUS. Republicans will probably lose the Senate. It’s not fair, it’s not right, and it’s going to hurt the Republic. A vote for Donald Trump now is a resistance vote; I get it. He was an unconventional candidate in unconventional …
