Today, South Dakota Secretary of State Shantel Krebs announced that a new recognized political party has been formed. The Constitution Party submitted 7,655 valid signatures.

It’s been a few years since Hillary Clinton was the shoe-in Democrat nominee for president, only for Obama to come out of nowhere and steal the nomination from her. Now, she’s the shoe-in once again and Bernie Sanders, an admitted socialist, is giving her quite the run for her money. Will he, too, steal her promised crown?

Although the current colorful, for want of a better word, presidential campaign is attracting attention from voters, indicators are that this attention reflects voters being turned off to the whole process.

A caller to the Rush Limbaugh show Tuesday captured perfectly my frustration with so many normally reliable conservatives who have in 2016 decided to hide their brains in the back of a closet and whore out their principles to a liberal named Donald Trump.

It goes without saying that any contributions to Democrats and especially those who support false marriage and abortion do not count as serious philanthropy or benevolent giving. Since Donald Trump has given to those who back these kinds of things, we will not include them for obvious reasons.

While the Democrats in the race embrace the failed European model of Muslim immigration and assimilation, the Republicans are striving for something different. Rather than waste our time in prurient discussions of hand sizes, the campaigns need to force these issues into the media.

Dutch politician and historian Guillaume Groen van Prinsterer (1801-1876) is credited with what seems an eerily prescient foreshadowing of the bizarre phenomenon that is “Trump 2016.” “Pent-up anger and long-held frustration due to economic stagnation, moral decay, spiritual impotency, and political corruption,” he opined, “invariably pave the way for the rise of crass manipulators. Instead of a mastery of truth, such revolutionary opportunists tap into fear and rage, ignorance and prejudice, staging great public spectacles of narcissism.”

As George Orwell-the famous writer who tried to teach us so much about Marxism and the Left through powerful novels like 1984 and Animal Farm-once said, “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

The brass ring for the GOP this year is defeating the presumptive Democratic nominee, Hillary “What Difference Does It Make?” Clinton, in November. A recent poll of a key demographic shows that the Republican candidate who has the best shot at defeating Hillary isn’t a New York billionaire. It’s Sen. Ted Cruz.
