The latest Quinnipiac poll shows that the American public rejects the president's Iran deal by more than 2-to-1. This is astonishing. The public generally gives the president deference on major treaties. Just a few weeks ago, a majority supported the deal.
Listening to Jeb Bush, at least now I know I'm not the only one who thinks we've carried this self-esteem thing too far. At a Foundation for Excellence in Education summit Thursday, hours before he was due on the GOP presidential debate stage in Cleveland, Bush spoke to a rapt audience: “This morning, over 213 million Chinese students went to school, and no one debated whether academic standards should be lowered to protect their students’ self-esteem.”
Panama City urologist Dr. Neal Dunn launched a congressional bid Friday, even as a Republican primary opponent went on the attack, questioning his conservative credentials.
With former Florida House Speaker Allan Bense in his corner, Dunn kicked off his campaign at a media event. Dunn is running for the seat currently held by U.S. Rep. Gwen Graham, D-Fla.
With the state Legislature heading to Tallahassee to kick off a special session Monday on congressional redistricting, two Democrats in the Florida delegation announced Friday they would not run against each other, even if they end up in the same district.
The Republican debates Thursday night proved far different than early primary forums, with the top 10 candidates engaging in a dramatic battle while seven hopefuls filled up the undercard. With this primary shaping up as the most competitive and turbulent Republican contest in decades, the stakes were high in Cleveland. The leading candidates engaged in a memorable debate while a dark horse had a good night in the warmup bout. Some winners and losers emerged, but the debates boiled down to the candidate leading in the polls.
Republicans were ready for a street fight Thursday night in a compelling, sometimes fierce presidential debate -- main event in the first of the 2016 race -- with front-runner Donald Trump in the center position among a field of 10, going on the offensive from the first question.
Hillary Clinton said in a fundraising email she didn't watch the FoxNews Republican presidential debate Thursday evening -- instead, she was snapping photos with reality celebrity and selfie queen Kim Kardashian in Los Angeles.
The photo, posted late Thursday evening on Clinton's Instagram account, shows the Democratic candidate smiling wide next to Kardashian and her husband, rapper Kanye West.

Why did Fox News decide to schedule two Republican presidential debates rather than one? Simple arithmetic: 90 minutes divided by 17 candidates equals 5 minutes and 29 seconds apiece. That's scarcely enough time for the oral equivalent of a few tweets.
