Eminent domain has long been used by government to build public projects like roads and dams.  Increasingly it has been used by government to enhance private projects, such as Donald Trump’s casino in Atlantic City.  Here Trump defends it’s use for private projects.

Close campaigns are won by a strong field organization that gets their vote out.  That is what the Bernie Sanders campaign is doing.  In this video Senator Sanders visit’s his Nashua, New Hampshire campaign office to meet with volunteers.

This fast-paced montage of media coverage captures some of the action of modern day presidential campaigns. (Those brief flashes of excitement among hours of boredom.)

Donald Trump doesn’t like criticism and those around him try very hard to please him, even if it means limiting free speech and freedom of the press.

The media are bad people according to Donald Trump because “they” don’t pan the room to show the HUGE crowds at his events.  This is also an example of how his style can whip up a crowd with the smallest provocation.   Tyngsboro, MA event Friday Oct. 17, 2015

Jeb Bush has been sliding in the polls for some time. Wishful thinking among all GOP Presidential campaigns is that Donald Trump will eventually fade as the “flavor of the day” candidate and everyone gets a second chance. But IF that happens, Jeb Bush is not capturing the hearts and minds of GOP moderates he needs to sway in order to win the nomination.

Rod Webber is known to quoting Biblical verses and giving Presidential Candidates flowers for Peace. He also regularly prays with Jeb Bush for Peace. This relationship does not extend to Donald Trump’s campaign and Rod. Here Rod was told to go to the back of the room to ask a question to Trump, but the staff member apparently meant the “back” as in “outside” the event. You can see for yourself what happens.

With sagging poll numbers, soft fundraising and pressure to protect his Senate seat, Rand Paul needed to demonstrate he has a path to victory. But he did not meet expectations at the preference poll held by the Republican Liberty Caucus in Oct. 2015. This signals that he is not dominating his base and he will have trouble attracting other conservatives, if the dynamics of the race changed.

The Opioid Epidemic (Prescription Pain Meds and Heroin) have ravaged parts of the US.  Many experts have pointed out that the crisis knows no socioeconomic boundaries. As evidence, three family members of Presidential Candidates have died due to substance abuse.  Yet, this is a very little know fact.  Can you imagine the media frenzy if these three tragedies were the result of Ebola?  This segment not only explores the personal struggles of Presidential families, but also explores the evolution of drug and treatment policies needed to address this crisis.

One day after the mass shootings at the Umpqua Community College in Roseberg, Oregon, Sen Ted Cruz commented on the subject of mass shootings, without specifically referring to this shooting, which at the time was still an active investigation.
