With Elizabeth Warren lagging badly in the early primary states, it appeared that Sanders had also overcome the biggest challenge to being “The Candidate” for the more liberal wing of the Democratic Party. It was time for Sanders to hit the accelerator and begin pushing his lagging rivals out of the race entirely. Instead of ramping up, Sanders made the mistake of taking his foot off the gas and wasted what could have been a pivotal moment for his campaign.

The most closely watched race of the March 10th primaries will no doubt be Michigan. Michigan not only has the largest total of delegates at 125 (36% of the March 10th delegates) but it contains a high amount of symbolism for Bernie Sanders.

Texas’ 3rd District at first glance hardly appears to be a congressional battleground seat. Collin County, which holds the entire 3rd District has long been inhospitable ground for Democrats. The District which extends through Plano, McKinney and portions of Richardson and Dallas is covered in its entirety by the booming Dallas metropolitan area. Not a single Democrat currently holds a seat in any level of government in the county…

The political party that has won Kentucky’s governorship has gone on to see their party win the following year’s presidential election in every election cycle since 2003. If this cycle continues into 2020 then Donald Trump will find himself out of a job come next November.

After all the hype, fundraising and live streaming, former Congressman Beto O’Rourke dropped out of the 2020 presidential race. It was a stunning fall for a candidate that was once viewed as a potential top three contender for the Democrat nomination. After O’Rourke’s narrow defeat at the hands of Ted Cruz, in 2018, it seemed all but a given that not only would he run for president…
