On Hillary Emails, Comey’s Evidence Clashes with Comey’s Conclusions By Charles Hurt
So it turns out that while you can indict a ham sandwich, indicting our top diplomat for “extremely careless” handling of national secrets at a time of war against the most determined and diabolical enemy we have ever faced — well, that is just a waste of time. Inconvenient. Awkward.

Will the West Survive the Century? By Patrick J. Buchanan
"Nativism ... xenophobia or worse" is behind the triumph of Brexit and the support for Donald Trump, railed President Barack Obama in Ottawa.

Who's Really to Blame for Brexit and Donald Trump By Ted Rall
At this writing, securities markets and the international community are reeling at the news that British voters have opted to leave the European Union. The "Brexit" has provoked angry reactions from the pro-Remain camp, who accuse Leave voters of stupidity, shortsighted ignorance and, worse, thinly-disguised racism and nativism posing as nationalism.

Brexit Due to Failure of Elites, Not Bigotry of Masses By Michael Barone
Bigotry! Nativism! Racism! That's what elites in Britain, Europe and here have been howling, explanations for why 52 percent of a higher-than-general-election turnout of British voters voted for their nation to leave the European Union.

The Political Science Election Forecasts of the 2016 Presidential and Congressional Elections By James Campbell
Normally around this time in a presidential election cycle — the “interregnum,” as it has come to be known — we would be waiting for the dust from the nomination campaigns to settle before moving on to the conventions and to considerations of the general election race. As you may have noticed, however, this is not a normal year. It has been anything but. No dust, just tons of rubble from two wildly contentious nomination fights left to clear away as we turn to a general election bout likely to be the political equivalent of a mixed martial arts cage fight.

After Brexit, a Trump Path to Victory By Patrick J. Buchanan
Some of us have long predicted the breakup of the European Union. The Cousins appear to have just delivered the coup de grace.
While Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to remain in the EU, England voted for independence. These people, with their unique history, language and culture, want to write their own laws and rule themselves.

Trump Pivoting Away From Tabloid-Style Campaigning By Michael Barone
Donald Trump is the latest proof that the campaign always reflects the candidate and that the candidate is a product of his experience over the years.
