Barack, You’re Wrong About Bernie
Brent Budowsky: Obama is wrong — and insulting to voters — when he suggests that they need him or the media to determine whether they should put their faith in Sanders.
Trump the Loser
Brent Budowsky: What Trump does is endlessly repeat the same insult against an opponent and let the media repeat it endlessly until it sticks to his target. In advertising this is called branding.

Why Dems Pray for Trump or Cruz

Why Hillary Feels the Bern
Brent Budowsky: Sanders is the Rembrandt of progressivism, painting a portrait of a progressive reformation in vivid and dramatic colors, while Clinton paints by the numbers.
Why Is TV in the Tank for Trump?
Brent Budowsky: Many TV news organizations — led by CNN — have turned their campaign coverage into virtual infomercials for the Trump campaign that masquerade as news, supporting a reality television show personality who masquerades as a potential president.
Trump Makes America Hate, Not Great
Brent Budowsky: Not since the days of the racist governors of the segregationist South has any American politician so embodied values that are alien to the American idea as Donald Trump does today.
