Bill and Loretta: too much interest, not enough conflict
by Kevin Kelton
On our weekly political podcast, “A More Perfect Union,” I got into a spirited exchange with my co-hosts about whether Bill Clinton’s private tarmac meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch created a potential conflict of interest. I argued that it didn’t. They thought I was crazy.
They were wrong; I am right. Read More

Bernie Sanders’ Name May Be On The Ballot This Fall…Whether He Wants It There Or Not
Bernie Sanders may be about to run as a third party candidate in the general election, whether he knows it or not. And whether he wants to or not. Sounds ludicrous? Hear me out…
Like anyone who plays with fire, Sanders is about to get burned by his own revolution. Sanders has lost control of his unruly movement, and the Bernie or Bust crowd will not go gladly into that good night – even after Clinton’s inevitable nomination, when Bernie will no doubt urge his millennial minions to get on board with her.
“Okay,” you say, “but no one can force Sanders to run in the fall. Right?” Wrong.
Yes, they can get him to run. Or at least, they can run his name. Read More
