Chicago’s clues for the 2020 Democrats
03/18/2019 - 3:54pm
Michael Barone
DEMOCRATS: March 15, 2019 There was a record-sized field of candidates containing as many women as men. Their surnames ranged from the long familiar to the novel and exotic; they had multiple racial and ethnic backgrounds, and at least one gay candidate was in the running. This sounds like the ever-expanding list of candidates for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, but it’s also...
Impeachment quest lets AOC types set Democrats’ agenda
Michael Barone 03/11/2019 - 1:22pm
DEMOCRATS: March 8, 2019 Has the Democratic Party reduced its chances of denying President Trump a second term by continuing to concentrate on throwing him out before the end of his first? You can make a good case that it has. Democrats have been itching to oust Trump since the days before he took the oath of office. Obama administration law...
Democrats are getting out on a dangerously left-wing limb
Michael Barone 03/04/2019 - 12:21am

Congressional Democrats have reportedly inserted provisions that make it easier for purported asylum seekers arriving with children to disappear...
Why are leading Democratic presidential candidates endorsing ‘the Green Dream, or whatever they call it?’
Michael Barone 02/17/2019 - 5:10pm
DEMOCRATS: February 15, 2019 There’s an old joke about an egotistical politician whose disgruntled speechwriter, just before quitting, prepares a draft that promises the moon, and specifics for how to pay for it, on the first two pages, and leaves the third page blank except for the words “You’re on your own now.” That...
Trump’s surprisingly reflective and disciplined State of the Union
Michael Barone 02/09/2019 - 10:58pm
SOTU ADDRESS: February 8, 2019 “This year,” President Trump stated in his widely viewed and positively rated State of the Union address, “America will recognize two important anniversaries that show us the majesty of America’s mission and the power of American pride.” “On D-Day, June 6, 1944, 15,000 young...
