Donald Trump talking about the (alleged) size of his dick was only the moment of reckoning. The trend had been building throughout the primaries. Before Trump talked about the size of his dick, Trump called Ted Cruz a pussy, he attacked Megyn Kelly for having the audacity to menstruate, and he claimed that Carly Fiorina was too…
Donald Trump‘s appearance on the University of Central Florida campus on Saturday made headlines—but not because of anything he said. The Internet was instead captivated by two young men standing to Trump’s left after seeing one feed a chip to the other, airplane-style. Who were these mystery dudes? Were they “Trump bros?” Were they protestors? Sign…
To accommodate everything that went on in the 2016 campaign just this past week, “Saturday Night Live” had to break format and jam four cold opens into the top of the show last night. Beck Bennett as Jake Tapper hosted the week-in-review montage, which began with Darrell Hammond’s Donald Trump — complete with a woefully introspective…

Ever since Keith Olbermann left the ESPN airwaves eight months ago, there has been a conspicuous lack of uppercutting people into volcanoes and dropkicking them through glass doors in our lives.

While there have been many real-life occurrences we badly wish we could bet money on, “Donald Trump will one day be accused of stealing someone’s tips” was at the top of our all time list. Sure enough, here we are. As reported by DNAInfo’s James Fanelli, on Feb. 13, 2015, a woman named Deborah Garcia…
WASHINGTON (AP) — Thirty-six-plus hours of televised debates in the 2016 presidential campaign have brought us Marco Rubio’s robotic moment, Donald Trump’s jaw-dropping sexual innuendo, Bernie Sanders’ dismissal of Hillary Clinton’s “damn emails” and Clinton’s denunciation of Sanders for an “artful smear.” Oh, and we’ve heard about issues, too. Is it all too much? Trump,…
As a retired military officer, I watched last night’s Republican debate from Detroit (transcript here) with a special focus on which candidate is qualified to lead the military as commander-in-chief. I knew, of course, that Donald Trump had promised in the past to use torture against America’s enemies (last night, he called them “animals”), that…
The Hispanic attorney (29, Florida) ‘He has demonstrated that he is, at heart, a caring person’ On paper, I probably look like a guaranteed Cruz or Rubio vote. I’m a millennial woman, my parents immigrated from Castro’s Cuba, I work as a trial attorney in Miami and I’m a born-again Christian. But I’m voting for…
The 2012 GOP nominee’s advisers are examining what a fight at the convention might look like and what rules might need revising. “It sounds like the plan is to lock the convention,” said the source. Romney is focused on suppressing Trump’s delegate count to prevent him from accumulating the 1,237 delegates he needs to secure…
