On the eve of the Philadelphia coronation of Hillary Clinton (wait, who is that guy with the unkempt white hair sneaking up behind her during her acceptance speech?) and after the Disaster in Cleveland (I alone am allowed to say that), I asked my insiders to reflect on the Republicans, look ahead to Adam Laxalt’s...

Hardy has 38 percent and Kihuen has 36 percent, meaning that about a quarter of the electorate chose a minor candidate or is undecided. The survey also shows Donald Trump ahead of Hillary Clinton by 7 percent in the strongly Democratic district that President Obama twice...
