"Free trade": The elites are selling it but the public is longer buying it. Look at the support for Democrat Bernie Sanders and Republican Donald Trump, especially in light of Sanders' surprise 20-point comeback in this week's Michigan primary. With prima

Before you read the article, you may want to take a guess — or even take the poll — as to why in the world Media Pollsters just keep on under-estimating (and under-counting) Bernie Sanders widespread and solid support.

A little walk down memory lane. In January 2008 Hillary Clinton claimed Obama had said “Republicans had better ideas than Democrats the past 10-15 years”. Bill Clinton also claimed Obama said “in the 90s the good ideas came out from the Republicans”. Poli

The overall margin still gives Clinton a huge advantage, but this isn't the 90-10 margin she was pulling in the Sou
