• The Clintons have created a shell corporation that exists solely to advance their interests and shield them from accountability. It’s called the Democratic party.

• Fox News, which will host the first Republican presidential debate in Cleveland August 6, announced that it will restrict the field to the top ten candidates according to an average of five national polls. RNC chairman Reince Priebus, relieved not to have a mob scene onstage, quickly agreed. We say, the hell with it. How would Abraham Lincoln have polled one year before the Republican Convention of 1860? Fox should split the field in half and hold two debates, with candidates assigned by lot. Except for Donald Trump, who is a boob, every announced candidate has stature (even Carly Fiorina — Wendell Willkie was a businessman; even George Pataki — three-time governor of New York). Let them fight, and let the viewers decide.
