GOP's two-faced leaders have one thing in common

Stephen H. Provost

There’s something more than politics to this. Giuliani, McConnell, Graham, Hawley, and Cruz all have one thing in common — other than being Trumpian sycophants, that is.

Why GOP senators cling to Trump — and it's not fear of his base

Stephen H. Provost

Pundits make a point of emphasizing that Trump is running against a far more likeable candidate this time, and one he can’t tar and feather with sexist rhetoric. (He tried ageism, but that didn’t work.) This should be 1936, 1972, and 1984 all over again. So why the hell is this race so close?
