"An online communications strategist working for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s (R) campaign-in-waiting resigned late Tuesday, according to The Associated Press, after controversy erupted over disparaging comments she had made about Iowa.",
"The news agency said that Liz Mair’s resignation — only a day after news broke that she had been hired — would be immediate, quoting a statement from her.",
"The statement said, “The tone of some of my tweets concerning Iowa was at odds with that which Gov. Walker has always encouraged in political discourse.”",
"Mair was, for the moment, affiliated with Walker’s political action committee, but it was widely expected that she would play a role in his official campaign if he entered the 2016 race for the White House.",
"She had worked for Walker previously, when he faced a recall election in 2012. In 2008, she worked as online communications director for the Republican National Committee.",
"The controversy that engulfed her was focused primarily upon tweets she sent during the Iowa Freedom Summit in January, an event where Walker was seen to have shone.",
"At one point, she tweeted, “In other news, I see Iowa is once again embarrassing itself, and the GOP, this morning. Thanks, guys.”",
"Shortly afterward, she added, also on Twitter, “The sooner we remove Iowa’s frontrunning status, the better off American politics and policy will be.”",
"Mair’s views of Iowa appalled GOP activists in the state, which holds the first contest in the presidential nominating calendar.",
"A co-chairman of the state GOP, Cody Hoefert, toldTheNew York Times that he found the remarks, which also included criticisms of ethanol subsidies beloved by Iowa farmers, “disgusting and repulsive.”",
"Opinions about Mair did not break along neat lines, even among conservatives, however. Erick Erickson, the activist and commentator behind RedState.com, wrote a defense of Mair earlier on Tuesday evening, before news of her resignation broke.",
"Erickson asserted that Mair was \"very competent at her job\" and suggested there was an orchestrated campaign to force her out.",
"“I think an early test for Scott Walker is going to be if he is willing to stand up to the sound and fury of people outraged by a staffer’s tweet in the way he stood up to union activists,” Erickson wrote.",
"He updated the post in light of the news of Mair’s resignation. “Team Walker has botched this,” he wrote, adding that it “plays into the ‘not ready for prime time’ theme already developing around Team Walker.”",
"The initial Associated Press report also quoted Rick Wiley, one of Walker’s closest aides, saying of Mair, “We accept those who have a variety of viewpoints on issue[s], but what we ultimately must have is absolute respect for people across the country.”"

"GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson said on Monday that he would only reject a Muslim candidate for the presidency who practices a radical interpretation of Islam.",
"“You know, what we have to do is, we have to recognize that this is America, and we have a Constitution,” Carson said on “Hannity.”",
"“We do not put people at the leadership of our country whose faith might interfere with carrying out the duties of the Constitution,” he said.",
"“Now, if someone has a Muslim background and they’re willing to reject those tenets and to accept the way of life that we have and clearly will swear to place our Constitution above their religion, then, of course, they will be considered infidels and heretics, but at least I would then be quite willing to support them,” the retired neurosurgeon added.",
"Carson’s original remarks that a Muslim should not be president sparked a firestorm, drawing swift criticism from the Obama administration, Democratic lawmakers and even other members of the 2016 Republican presidential field.",
"“I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation,” he said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “I absolutely would not agree with that.”",
"Carson argued on Monday that his position is completely valid when expressed in the context of radical interpretations of Islam.",
"“I could never support a candidate for President of the United States that was Muslim and had not renounced the central tenet of Islam: Sharia law,” Carson wrote during a question-and-answer session on his Facebook page that evening.",
"“Those Republicans that take issue with my position are amazing,” said Carson, a Seventh Day Adventist. “Under Islamic law, homosexuals — men and women alike — must be killed. Women must be subservient. And people following other religions must be killed.”",
"“I know that there are many peaceful Muslims who do not adhere to these beliefs,” Carson added. “But until these tenets are fully announced … I cannot advocate any Muslim candidate for president.”",
"The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is now calling for Carson’s exit from next year’s White House race in light of his remarks earlier this week.",
"Carson currently ranks second out of 15 GOP presidential candidates with 18.8 percent, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average of national polls."

"The father of a reporter killed on live television by a disgruntled former colleague has some strong words for lawmakers: Stop being cowards, get out of the NRA’s pocket and do something about the runaway gun violence in the U.S.",
"Andy Parker, whose daughter Alison was one of two journalists killed on Wednesday morning outside Roanoke, Va., told CNN’s \"New Day\" he will be \"the John Walsh of gun control” if he must.",
"“Look, I’m for the Second Amendment,” Parker continued, \"but there has to be a way to force politicians that are cowards and in the pockets of the NRA to come to grips and make sense, have sensible laws so that crazy people can’t get guns.”",
"Parker slammed both national and local lawmakers for “kick[ing] the can down the road” repeatedly on the issue of gun control and declared: “This can’t happen anymore.”",
"In a preemptive response to the argument likely from the National Rifle Association and other gun groups that a “good person with a gun” might have been able to prevent Wednesday’s tragedy, Parker said that simply isn’t true.",
"\"I got news for you,” he said, \"if Alison or Adam had been carrying an AK-47 strapped around their waist, it wouldn’t have made any difference,\" he said, referring to slain videographer Adam Ward.",
"\"They couldn’t have seen this thing coming.”",
"Parker then vowed not to rest \"until I see something get done here.\"",
"Earlier Thursday, coworkers of Alison Parker and Ward at WDBJ-TV held hands in an emotional on-air moment of silence for their fallen colleagues."

The father of a reporter killed on live television by a disgruntled former colleague has some strong words for lawmakers: Stop being cowards, get out of the NRA’s pocket and do something about the runaway gun violence in the U.S. Andy Parker, whose daughter Alison was one of two journalists killed on Wednesday morning outside Roanoke, Va., told CNN’s "New Day" he will be "the John Walsh of gun control” if he must. “Look, I’m for the Second Amendment,” Parker continued, "but there has to be a way to force politicians that are cowards and in the pockets of the NRA to come to grips and make sense, have sensible laws so that crazy people can’t get guns.” Parker slammed both national and local lawmakers for “kick[ing] the can down the road” repeatedly on the issue of gun control and declared: “This can’t happen anymore.” In a preemptive response to the argument likely from the National Rifle Association and other gun groups that a “good person with a gun” might have been able to prevent Wednesday’s tragedy, Parker said that simply isn’t true. "I got news for you,” he said, "if Alison or Adam had been carrying an AK-47 strapped around their waist, it wouldn’t have made any difference," he said, referring to slain videographer Adam Ward. "They couldn’t have seen this thing coming.” Parker then vowed not to rest "until I see something get done here." Earlier Thursday, coworkers of Alison Parker and Ward at WDBJ-TV held hands in an emotional on-air moment of silence for their fallen colleagues.

"Let’s consider student loans for a moment. Many of the candidates for president have promised relief of some sort from the high cost of college tuition. That’s not surprising considering that 40 million Americans currently hold student loans and that debt incurred for education now lags only mortgage debt as a source of consumer indebtedness—logging in at the astonishing total $1.2 trillion. And, here is the rub, most of that debt has been loaned directly by the government and, as the current policy debate illustrates, students who borrow from the government don’t necessarily have the same expectations and sense of repayment obligation to their lender – as those receiving loans from a private financial institution.",
"Decisions made in the 1990s to transform the US government’s role in providing student loans, from that of a guarantor to a direct lender, were driven primarily by budgetary rather than policy considerations. Direct lending had a clear advantage because it had a dramatically lower price tag than the guaranty program at the time. And when private lenders became reticent to assist students during the darkest days of the 2008 financial crisis, direct loans from the government became the primary source of student loans in the US and the guaranteed student loan program was abolished.",
"The prevailing wisdom at the time was that the government could step in and perform the same role formerly played by private financial institutions, absent the costly subsidies exacted by those lenders, without much else changing. But the direct loan takeover has resulted in conspicuous federal involvement where expectations on the part of borrowers may have fundamentally shifted from that of debtor-lender to one that perhaps more closely resembles lending arrangements among family members. When loaning money to your brother-in-law, you may have hopes for repayment but you also realize prospects will dim if he loses his job, gets sick, retires, or maybe even has to pay for one of his kids to attend college. You’ll have no real choice but to accommodate his ever-changing life circumstances. The government may be putting itself in that same familial position as it services the loans of its millions of student borrowers.",
"By stepping directly into the student loan market, the government seems to be trying to play the role of a benevolent agent with the goal of enabling students to pay for college under the best terms possible. Few restrictions have been placed on program eligibility and little consideration is given as to whether a borrower can repay. In contrast, a theoretical market-based approach would be more concerned with whether those taking out loans can complete a degree and repay loans granted. Underwriting criteria such as high-school grades, test scores, and potential earnings of majors are among multiple factors that would determine eligibility for loans.",
"The justification for federal involvement in the credit marketplace, as discussed each year in the Analytical Perspectives volume of the President’s Budget, is based largely on market failure. Policy choices, however, can be driven by the simplicities of budget scorekeeping rules rather than by such abstract economic principles. The budgeting rules used for credit programs, which exclude operating costs, can incentivize the government to embrace direct lending rather than provide marginal inducements to spur private lending.",
"Policy decisions are most appropriately made when considering the best possible public sector role and likely economic costs and benefits, rather than simply determining whether the government can provide a good or service more cheaply than the private sector. While the abandonment of guaranteed student loans in favor of direct lending might appear to make budgeting sense, it has cemented the government’s role as lender of first resort for students. As student borrowers come to view their lender as being increasingly altruistic, taxpayers could ultimately suffer the consequences of being a rich uncle to far too many.",

"Here’s another case of voters outpacing timid lawmakers, especially this year’s crop of White House aspirants. According to a new poll released by the Drug Policy Alliance, a large majority of South Carolina’s notably conservative primary voters supports ending mass incarceration, even across party lines. A substantial majority, furthermore, supports decriminalizing drug possession outright – a position that none of the current presidential candidates have yet taken.",
"We’ve heard movingly from candidates in both major parties about their personal connections to drug abuse and calls for people struggling with addiction to receive compassion and alternatives to incarceration. (Many commentators have reasonably suggested the recent shift from knee-jerk punitive responses reflects the fact that the current spike in addiction and overdose deaths has a white face.) Drug policy reform advocates welcome the gentler rhetoric but would prefer to see candidates echo the much further-reaching positions already held by majorities of voters.",
"In this week’s survey of voters in the upcoming South Carolina primary, 70 percent consider substantially reducing the number of Americans in prison an important issue, including majorities of Democrats, Republicans and Independents. In fact, more than a third of primary voters (37 percent) would be more inclined to support a presidential candidate who promised to prioritize downsizing prison populations.",
"Moreover, 59 percent of South Carolina primary voters support decriminalizing drug possession, asserting that someone caught with a small amount of any illegal drug for personal use should be offered treatment but not be arrested, let alone face jail time. That result, mirroring a survey of New Hampshire voters last month, reflects a profound advance in attitudes about dealing with drugs in the United States.",
"This is no mere hypothetical debate. Reducing, even eliminating, criminal drug possession penalties is gaining momentum in cities and states across the country.",
"California’s Proposition 47, adopted by 60 percent of voters in 2014, made the Golden State the first to reduce simple drug possession (and five other petty offenses) from a felony to a misdemeanor. Prop 47 has reduced the number of people behind bars by at least 13,000 people, while more than 600,000 are eligible for resentencing of their past felony convictions.",
"Just two weeks ago, veteran Maryland lawmaker and practicing physician Dan Morhaim introduced a groundbreaking package of bills that represents a health-centered approach to drug policy. The bills would decriminalize simple drug possession entirely and require hospitals and emergency rooms to provide addiction treatment on demand, among other reforms.",
"Even Congress is getting into the act. The long-aborning Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act has bipartisan support to reduce lengthy mandatory minimum sentences for some drug offenses and allow judges to use their discretion to sentence people below the minimum in certain cases.",
"Now is the time for policymakers to show leadership by laying out plans to move our country from a failed criminal justice approach to a health-based approach to drugs. Voters want action – decriminalization, reform of mandatory minimums, an end to mass incarceration – and candidates would be wise to pay attention."

Here’s another case of voters outpacing timid lawmakers, especially this year’s crop of White House aspirants. According to a new poll released by the Drug Policy Alliance, a large majority of South Carolina’s notably conservative primary voters supports ending mass incarceration, even across party lines. A substantial majority, furthermore, supports decriminalizing drug possession outright – a position that none of the current presidential candidates have yet taken. We’ve heard movingly from candidates in both major parties about their personal connections to drug abuse and calls for people struggling with addiction to receive compassion and alternatives to incarceration. (Many commentators have reasonably suggested the recent shift from knee-jerk punitive responses reflects the fact that the current spike in addiction and overdose deaths has a white face.) Drug policy reform advocates welcome the gentler rhetoric but would prefer to see candidates echo the much further-reaching positions already held by majorities of voters. In this week’s survey of voters in the upcoming South Carolina primary, 70 percent consider substantially reducing the number of Americans in prison an important issue, including majorities of Democrats, Republicans and Independents. In fact, more than a third of primary voters (37 percent) would be more inclined to support a presidential candidate who promised to prioritize downsizing prison populations. Moreover, 59 percent of South Carolina primary voters support decriminalizing drug possession, asserting that someone caught with a small amount of any illegal drug for personal use should be offered treatment but not be arrested, let alone face jail time. That result, mirroring a survey of New Hampshire voters last month, reflects a profound advance in attitudes about dealing with drugs in the United States. This is no mere hypothetical debate. Reducing, even eliminating, criminal drug possession penalties is gaining momentum in cities and states across the country. California’s Proposition 47, adopted by 60 percent of voters in 2014, made the Golden State the first to reduce simple drug possession (and five other petty offenses) from a felony to a misdemeanor. Prop 47 has reduced the number of people behind bars by at least 13,000 people, while more than 600,000 are eligible for resentencing of their past felony convictions. Just two weeks ago, veteran Maryland lawmaker and practicing physician Dan Morhaim introduced a groundbreaking package of bills that represents a health-centered approach to drug policy. The bills would decriminalize simple drug possession entirely and require hospitals and emergency rooms to provide addiction treatment on demand, among other reforms. Even Congress is getting into the act. The long-aborning Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act has bipartisan support to reduce lengthy mandatory minimum sentences for some drug offenses and allow judges to use their discretion to sentence people below the minimum in certain cases. Now is the time for policymakers to show leadership by laying out plans to move our country from a failed criminal justice approach to a health-based approach to drugs. Voters want action – decriminalization, reform of mandatory minimums, an end to mass incarceration – and candidates would be wise to pay attention.

"The battle for Hispanic voters in the Democratic presidential primary is just getting started.",
"Hillary ClintonHillary Rodham ClintonSan Diego newspaper endorses Clinton Clinton proposes 'reserve' program for volunteers Voters want more from Clinton, Trump on fiscal issues, poll says MORE’s presidential campaign says the strong support it received from Hispanics in Nevada on Saturday will translate to other parts of the country and help her win the Democratic nomination. But Team Sanders isn’t ceding any ground, knowing that it must win more minority voters to beat Clinton.",
"The Hispanic vote is particularly important in Super Tuesday states such as Texas, Colorado and Virginia, where voters will cast their ballots on March 1, as well as in states such as Florida, which vote later in the month.",
"“I think the support from Latinos proved what we have been saying all along,” said one former Clinton aide. “The support from that community is very real.”",
"But Sanders, who pummeled Clinton in the predominantly white state of New Hampshire, is vying hard for Hispanic support. And his aides say Clinton has a problem with the demographic.",
"Clinton aide Nick Merrill didn’t hold back in his response to that statement, calling it “complete and utter bullshit” on Twitter.",
"The Sanders campaign has vowed to continue to lure Hispanic voters to its column in states such as Colorado, Arizona, Texas and California. And one Democratic strategist said the fact that the poll numbers are in dispute “says everything we need to know … it was competitive.”",
"Still, Eric Herzik, a professor of political science at the University of Nevada-Reno, said if the Silver State were any indication, Clinton would do well with Hispanic communities across the country.",
"“She won among Latinos,” Herzik said, adding that Clinton was better organized on the ground and her message was “far clearer and much better focused than Sanders,” particularly in the final days, when she went from casino to casino on the Las Vegas Strip and spent time with workers there.",
"And when it came to immigration reform, Clinton was also effective in sending a message of “I can get it done. I will do this,” Herzik said. “She came across as more believable than Sanders.”",
"Herzik pointed to the final town hall, which aired on MSNBC two days before the caucuses, where Clinton’s message appeared to resonate with caucusgoers. He also highlighted a campaign ad that aired in the final week and shows a teary-eyed 10-year-old girl at a campaign event who tells Clinton she’s afraid her parents will be deported.",
"Clinton called the girl “really brave” and tells her “not to worry too much.”",
"“Let me do the worrying. I’ll do all the worrying. Is that a deal?” she says before giving the girl a hug and telling her she promises to do everything she can to help.",
"Democratic strategist Lynda Tran said Clinton has an “extraordinarily strong record on immigration reform, including supporting the effort and standing with so-called Dreamers.” But one lesson from the caucus, she said, “has to be ensuring Hillary Clinton also makes the case to Latino and Hispanic voters when it comes to economic issues and kitchen-table concerns that are critically important to these communities.”",
"Tran said Clinton also will “need to be clear how her vision for tackling climate change and addressing student debt and other parts of her platform are connected to both job creation and improving economic opportunity for everyone — including Latinos.”",
"Asked what their plans were to keep Hispanics in their column, Clinton campaign aides on Monday highlighted their Hispanic-to-Hispanic phone banks where voters can interact with one another. They also pointed to organized events including the one in San Antonio, Texas, “that showed a tremendous amount of excitement” for Clinton and her surrogates, including Democratic Reps. Joaquín Castro (Texas) and Xavier BecerraXavier Becerra78 lawmakers vote to sustain Obama veto The Trail 2016: The fallout Buzz builds on Becerra’s future plans MORE (Calif.).",
"Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (D-Ill.), a Congressional Hispanic Caucus member who backed then-Sen.

He has ripped Sanders’s record on immigration reform, most recently calling it “troubling.” In a column written for Univision, the congressman accused Sanders — who voted against comprehensive immigration reform in 2006 — of breaking with Democrats and standing with “the hard-line anti-immigrant wing of the Republican Party.”",
"In explaining his vote, Sanders has noted that union officials had major concerns with that immigration reform measure.",
"The Clinton campaign dispatched former President Bill ClintonBill ClintonNewsweek hit with cyberattack after posting Trump Cuba story WATCH: Impatient Obama waits for Bill Clinton to board Air Force One Trump’s law and order promises won’t make America any safer MORE to Colorado over the weekend and to Texas on Monday, where he reinforced his wife’s message.",
"“We need to stop talking about sending 11 million immigrants home. We need to stop talking about throwing these Dreamers out of college,” he said. “If you really sent all these people home and built a wall, it would have the dual benefit of collapsing the economy and making everyone in Latin America furious.",
"“That doesn’t seem to me like a really good strategy in an interdependent world where we need to grow the economy and we need more partners and fewer enemies. We need to do this together.”",
"The next Democratic primary is Saturday in South Carolina, where Clinton — who enjoys strong support among African-Americans — is expected to cruise to victory.",
"Ben Kamisar contributed."

The battle for Hispanic voters in the Democratic presidential primary is just getting started. Hillary ClintonHillary Rodham ClintonSan Diego newspaper endorses Clinton Clinton proposes 'reserve' program for volunteers Voters want more from Clinton, Trump on fiscal issues, poll says MORE’s presidential campaign says the strong support it received from Hispanics in Nevada on Saturday will translate to other parts of the country and help her win the Democratic nomination. But Team Sanders isn’t ceding any ground, knowing that it must win more minority voters to beat Clinton. The Hispanic vote is particularly important in Super Tuesday states such as Texas, Colorado and Virginia, where voters will cast their ballots on March 1, as well as in states such as Florida, which vote later in the month. “I think the support from Latinos proved what we have been saying all along,” said one former Clinton aide. “The support from that community is very real.” But Sanders, who pummeled Clinton in the predominantly white state of New Hampshire, is vying hard for Hispanic support. And his aides say Clinton has a problem with the demographic. Clinton aide Nick Merrill didn’t hold back in his response to that statement, calling it “complete and utter bullshit” on Twitter. The Sanders campaign has vowed to continue to lure Hispanic voters to its column in states such as Colorado, Arizona, Texas and California. And one Democratic strategist said the fact that the poll numbers are in dispute “says everything we need to know … it was competitive.” Still, Eric Herzik, a professor of political science at the University of Nevada-Reno, said if the Silver State were any indication, Clinton would do well with Hispanic communities across the country. “She won among Latinos,” Herzik said, adding that Clinton was better organized on the ground and her message was “far clearer and much better focused than Sanders,” particularly in the final days, when she went from casino to casino on the Las Vegas Strip and spent time with workers there. And when it came to immigration reform, Clinton was also effective in sending a message of “I can get it done. I will do this,” Herzik said. “She came across as more believable than Sanders.” Herzik pointed to the final town hall, which aired on MSNBC two days before the caucuses, where Clinton’s message appeared to resonate with caucusgoers. He also highlighted a campaign ad that aired in the final week and shows a teary-eyed 10-year-old girl at a campaign event who tells Clinton she’s afraid her parents will be deported. Clinton called the girl “really brave” and tells her “not to worry too much.” “Let me do the worrying. I’ll do all the worrying. Is that a deal?” she says before giving the girl a hug and telling her she promises to do everything she can to help. Democratic strategist Lynda Tran said Clinton has an “extraordinarily strong record on immigration reform, including supporting the effort and standing with so-called Dreamers.” But one lesson from the caucus, she said, “has to be ensuring Hillary Clinton also makes the case to Latino and Hispanic voters when it comes to economic issues and kitchen-table concerns that are critically important to these communities.” Tran said Clinton also will “need to be clear how her vision for tackling climate change and addressing student debt and other parts of her platform are connected to both job creation and improving economic opportunity for everyone — including Latinos.” Asked what their plans were to keep Hispanics in their column, Clinton campaign aides on Monday highlighted their Hispanic-to-Hispanic phone banks where voters can interact with one another. They also pointed to organized events including the one in San Antonio, Texas, “that showed a tremendous amount of excitement” for Clinton and her surrogates, including Democratic Reps. Joaquín Castro (Texas) and Xavier BecerraXavier Becerra78 lawmakers vote to sustain Obama veto The Trail 2016: The fallout Buzz builds on Becerra’s future plans MORE (Calif.). Rep.

He has ripped Sanders’s record on immigration reform, most recently calling it “troubling.” In a column written for Univision, the congressman accused Sanders — who voted against comprehensive immigration reform in 2006 — of breaking with Democrats and standing with “the hard-line anti-immigrant wing of the Republican Party.” In explaining his vote, Sanders has noted that union officials had major concerns with that immigration reform measure. The Clinton campaign dispatched former President Bill ClintonBill ClintonNewsweek hit with cyberattack after posting Trump Cuba story WATCH: Impatient Obama waits for Bill Clinton to board Air Force One Trump’s law and order promises won’t make America any safer MORE to Colorado over the weekend and to Texas on Monday, where he reinforced his wife’s message. “We need to stop talking about sending 11 million immigrants home. We need to stop talking about throwing these Dreamers out of college,” he said. “If you really sent all these people home and built a wall, it would have the dual benefit of collapsing the economy and making everyone in Latin America furious. “That doesn’t seem to me like a really good strategy in an interdependent world where we need to grow the economy and we need more partners and fewer enemies. We need to do this together.” The next Democratic primary is Saturday in South Carolina, where Clinton — who enjoys strong support among African-Americans — is expected to cruise to victory.

"President Obama on Tuesday made what is likely his last major push to bolster the government’s digital defenses before leaving office.",
"As part of the annual White House budget proposal, the Obama administration rolled out a sweeping plan to inject billions of extra dollars into federal cybersecurity funding, establish a new senior federal cyber official and create a presidential commission on cyber that will establish a long-term road map.",
"\"The fact is we still don’t have in place all the tools we need, including ones many businesses rely on every day,\" Obama wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed.",
"\"We won’t resolve all these challenges over the coming year, but we’re laying a strong foundation for the future,\" he added.",
"The move is likely to complete Obama’s cyber legacy, which will include a historic attention to digital security, unprecedented executive orders on the topic and shepherding through Congress the largest-ever cyber bill — but also numerous bruising hacks at federal agencies and allegations that government networks were woefully outdated.",
"In a release, the White House called the plan “the capstone of more than seven years of determined effort.”",
"“[Obama] is the first president that is making a big cybersecurity push, and I think that’s tremendously important,” Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.), one of Congress’s most prominent cyber voices, told The Hill.",
"The proposal aims to inject more than $5 billion in new funding across the government to strengthen network defenses that have been repeatedly infiltrated by suspected foreign government spies.",
"The ask is a 35-percent increase over last year’s allotment of $14 billion and would put overall federal cyber spending at over $19 billion.",
"The extra funding, Schiff added, \"is essential to modernizing our government’s lagging cyber infrastructure and to investing in the next generation of cyber talent.\"",
"The budget request earmarks $3.1 billion for an “Information Technology Modernization Fund” that the White House described as a “down payment on the comprehensive overhaul” of federal IT systems.",
"Lieu said this fund could help solve one of the inherent budgeting problems when it comes to defending interconnected networks from hackers.",
"“What’s important about [the fund] is it can go across agencies and upgrade systems that touch more than one agency,” said Lieu, who sits on both the House Budget and Oversight committees.",
"Currently, each agency has its own individual cybersecurity budget that can be spent on its network but that cannot necessarily be expended on portions of the agency’s IT infrastructure at other agencies.",
"Hackers have exploited this balkanized budgeting process.",
"Over the summer, suspected Chinese cyber spies cracked into the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), pilfering over 22 million people’s personal information in two separate hacks. The initial intrusion — which exposed roughly 4.2 million federal workers’ personnel files — occurred at an OPM database that was housed at the Interior Department.",
"The OPM hacks also exposed the antiquated legacy systems the government relied on to run its networks.",
"Congress bashed OPM officials for not fully encrypting all their sensitive data. But the agency’s systems were simply too old to even accept modern encryption, they repeatedly explained.",
"The network also relied on the dated COBOL programming language, which initially became popular in the 1960s and is now eschewed by younger programmers.",
"A new federal official will oversee much of these update efforts.",
"As part of its proposal, the White House is establishing a federal chief information security officer, or CISO. The official will be housed within the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and report to federal chief information officer, Tony Scott, who oversees government technology.",
"“This is the first time that there will be a dedicated senior official who is solely focused on developing, managing, and coordinating cybersecurity strategy, policy and operations across the entire federal domain,” the White House said.",
"Centralizing cybersecurity oversight is an attempt to help overcome the lack of agency-to-agency communication on the subject.",
"“For a while, I’ve seen the argument that there are too many lines of authority in the federal government on cybersecurity,” said Lieu. “Sometimes it’s not clear who is responsible for what.”",
"The CISO will also help monitor the government’s digital defense spending, which has been knocked as cost-ineffective.",
"Recently, a federal watchdog report concluded that the government's main cyber defense system, known as “Einstein,” was largely ineffectual at thwarting sophisticated hackers. The report echoed long-standing criticism from security experts who say the program is a much-delayed boondoggle that is already obsolete.",
"Federal officials insist the system is in its final phase of implementation and will soon serve as a platform on which to add leading cyber tools.",
"This budget infusion and new federal CISO will with these technology updates, the White House said.",
"The proposal also includes a robust research and public awareness component.",
"In a bid to build a bridge to the next administration, Obama is launching a “Commission on Enhancing National Cybersecurity.”",
"The administration is directing a bipartisan group of lawmakers to appoint top industry representatives and leading technologists to the commission. The group will be tasked with taking the long view.",
"“The commission will make recommendations on actions that can be taken over the next decade to strengthen cybersecurity in both the public and private sectors while protecting privacy,” the White House said.",
"Security experts almost unanimously agree that one of these actions will be eliminating the traditional online password.",
"Since 2011, the White House has been trying to push people away from passwords. Tuesday’s plan includes a last bid to encourage people to adopt stronger login practices.",
"The proposal creates a new public awareness campaign that includes leading tech firms such as Google, Facebook and Microsoft.",
"“By judiciously combining a strong password with additional factors, such as a fingerprint or a single-use code delivered in a text message, Americans can make their accounts even more secure,” the White House said.",
"The proposal is likely Obama’s concluding statement on cybersecurity.",
"During his presidency, cybersecurity has gone from a fringe issue to one that most leaders acknowledge is vital to national and economic security. The topic received an increasing amount of attention in all but Obama’s final State of the Union address.",
"\"These cyber threats are a national-security risk few of my predecessors faced, but they will be ones my successors, regardless of party, must address,\" Obama wrote in his op-ed.",
"In recent years, the U.S. has seen the dramatic rise of global cyber crime syndicates that have pillaged banks, department stores and hotels.",
"According to an October report from Hewlett-Packard and the Ponemon Institute, cyber crime costs the average American firm $15.4 million annually, up 82 percent over the last six years. By 2019, it’s believed the cost of data breaches will reach $2.1 trillion globally.",
"Digital adversaries such as China, Russia, Iran and North Korea have also swooped in unexpectedly, plundering health insurers, airlines, nuclear plants, government agencies and, most memorably, a major movie studio.",
"Even terrorist groups such as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria are causing fears by hijacking high-profile twitter accounts and digitally defacing websites around the world.",
"\"Gone are the days when we could simply call the IT folks when there was a problem,\" Schiff said. \"Cybersecurity infuses almost everything we do.\"",
"These trends are bound to continue after Obama leaves the White House. The president acknowledged the country is \"still in the early days of this challenge.\"",
"But this ultimate cyber thrust could help cement his reputation as the first president to actively address the digital security challenge.",
"“If we can get this through, the funding, I think that would be very positive for his legacy,” Lieu said. “This is not just a federal government problem, it’s endemic in the private sector.”"

President Obama on Tuesday made what is likely his last major push to bolster the government’s digital defenses before leaving office.

Centralizing cybersecurity oversight is an attempt to help overcome the lack of agency-to-agency communication on the subject. “For a while, I’ve seen the argument that there are too many lines of authority in the federal government on cybersecurity,” said Lieu. “Sometimes it’s not clear who is responsible for what.” The CISO will also help monitor the government’s digital defense spending, which has been knocked as cost-ineffective. Recently, a federal watchdog report concluded that the government's main cyber defense system, known as “Einstein,” was largely ineffectual at thwarting sophisticated hackers. The report echoed long-standing criticism from security experts who say the program is a much-delayed boondoggle that is already obsolete. Federal officials insist the system is in its final phase of implementation and will soon serve as a platform on which to add leading cyber tools. This budget infusion and new federal CISO will with these technology updates, the White House said. The proposal also includes a robust research and public awareness component. In a bid to build a bridge to the next administration, Obama is launching a “Commission on Enhancing National Cybersecurity.” The administration is directing a bipartisan group of lawmakers to appoint top industry representatives and leading technologists to the commission. The group will be tasked with taking the long view. “The commission will make recommendations on actions that can be taken over the next decade to strengthen cybersecurity in both the public and private sectors while protecting privacy,” the White House said. Security experts almost unanimously agree that one of these actions will be eliminating the traditional online password. Since 2011, the White House has been trying to push people away from passwords. Tuesday’s plan includes a last bid to encourage people to adopt stronger login practices. The proposal creates a new public awareness campaign that includes leading tech firms such as Google, Facebook and Microsoft. “By judiciously combining a strong password with additional factors, such as a fingerprint or a single-use code delivered in a text message, Americans can make their accounts even more secure,” the White House said. The proposal is likely Obama’s concluding statement on cybersecurity. During his presidency, cybersecurity has gone from a fringe issue to one that most leaders acknowledge is vital to national and economic security. The topic received an increasing amount of attention in all but Obama’s final State of the Union address. "These cyber threats are a national-security risk few of my predecessors faced, but they will be ones my successors, regardless of party, must address," Obama wrote in his op-ed. In recent years, the U.S. has seen the dramatic rise of global cyber crime syndicates that have pillaged banks, department stores and hotels. According to an October report from Hewlett-Packard and the Ponemon Institute, cyber crime costs the average American firm $15.4 million annually, up 82 percent over the last six years. By 2019, it’s believed the cost of data breaches will reach $2.1 trillion globally. Digital adversaries such as China, Russia, Iran and North Korea have also swooped in unexpectedly, plundering health insurers, airlines, nuclear plants, government agencies and, most memorably, a major movie studio. Even terrorist groups such as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria are causing fears by hijacking high-profile twitter accounts and digitally defacing websites around the world. "Gone are the days when we could simply call the IT folks when there was a problem," Schiff said. "Cybersecurity infuses almost everything we do." These trends are bound to continue after Obama leaves the White House. The president acknowledged the country is "still in the early days of this challenge." But this ultimate cyber thrust could help cement his reputation as the first president to actively address the digital security challenge. “If we can get this through, the funding, I think that would be very positive for his legacy,” Lieu said. “This is not just a federal government problem, it’s endemic in the private sector.”

"Califf, who is currently the FDA’s deputy commissioner for medical products and tobacco, has waited for weeks to be confirmed as the agency's head.",

"Shaheen released a statement Thursday praising what she called \"long-overdue\" action from the FDA.",

A Democratic senator said he will not remove his hold on President Obama's nominee to lead the Food and Drug Administration nominee even after the agency announced a sweeping plan to tackle drug abuse in an effort to sway the senator. Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) said he would continue his hold on Dr. Robert Califf until the FDA agrees to an even wider review of its process of approving prescription painkillers, which are fueling an opioid epidemic in his state and many others. "The Food and Drug Administration today announced some important steps to address the opioid crisis, but they fall short of what is needed," Markey wrote in a statement Thursday. Markey's announcement came hours after Califf announced a “a far-reaching action plan to reassess the agency’s approach to opioid medications” – an effort indirectly aimed at removing the roadblock to his nomination. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), who has also deeply criticized the FDA's approach to opioid abuse, said he was also "not impressed" by what he described as a slight improvement to the agency's approach. Califf, who is currently the FDA’s deputy commissioner for medical products and tobacco, has waited for weeks to be confirmed as the agency's head. “This plan contains real measures this agency can take to make a difference in the lives of so many people who are struggling under the weight of this terrible crisis,” Califf wrote in a statement announcing the plans. Deaths from opioids have jumped 200 percent since 2000, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Health officials have warned that people addicted to prescription painkillers are more likely to turn to heroin, which is often cheaper and easier to access. Deaths from prescription drug and heroin overdoses reached an all-time high in 2014, increasing 14 percent from the previous year, the CDC reported. The Department of Health and Human Services is feeling the pressure to act on opioid abuse from across the Senate. Recently, Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) teamed up in a letter to the CDC calling for new prescribing guidelines for painkillers. Others such as Sens. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) and Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) have held field hearings in their home state to raise the profile of the issue. Shaheen released a statement Thursday praising what she called "long-overdue" action from the FDA. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said earlier this week that fighting drug addiction and preventing overdose deaths would be a goal for both parties in 2016. “Republicans and Democrats are working together to identify bipartisan solutions to this challenge,” he said after a meeting with the president and Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.).

"Donald Trump’s speech on national security, which he delivered the day after the terrorist attack in Orlando, Florida, will change the dynamic of this election.",
"The speech was specific, detailed, and on the money. Trump showed how strategic securing the border is, how important stopping immigration from terror zones like Syria is, and how deadly political correctness has become. Political correctness – which transforms the Islamic world, which has a lot to answer for, from aggressors into innocent victims – functions as a shield for Islamic terrorists, and handcuffs law-abiding citizens prompting them not to report suspicious activities by Muslims for fear of being called racist.",
"Trump was especially courageous (and politically incorrect) in pointing out that the Muslim communities in which the terrorists operate know what is going on but don’t say anything. What a contrast with Hillary’s speech today, which focused on reinforcing political correctness – attacking so-called assault rifles, as though guns and not fanatics were the problem, and emphasizing the importance of not alienating Muslims by acknowledging that a large and growing segment of the Islamic world is at war with us. What contempt for Muslims who are also victims of Islamic terror!",
"Does denying reality encourage non-belligerent Muslims to help us? For seven and a half years, the Obama administration has closed its eyes to the Islamic dimensions of the terrorist threat, has refused as long and as much as possible to even use the word “terror.” And what has been the result? Muslims in San Bernardino and St. Lucie – as Trump had the political courage to point out – saw something but said nothing about the atrocities brewing in their communities.",
"At the same time, the progressive enablers of Islamist terror have been busy blaming Christian conservatives for the anti-gay hatred that is a core belief of the Islamists, rooted not only in their religious texts but relentlessly broadcast through their Imams and mosques.",
"Donald Trump has shown how dangerous and deadly the PC orthodoxy of the political left is. He has laid out the practical steps that are absolutely necessary to protect Americans but have been missing during the seven and half years of Obama’s appeasement administration. And – it should be said – that have been missing from critiques of Obama by Republicans fearful of being politically incorrect.",

Donald Trump’s speech on national security, which he delivered the day after the terrorist attack in Orlando, Florida, will change the dynamic of this election. The speech was specific, detailed, and on the money. Trump showed how strategic securing the border is, how important stopping immigration from terror zones like Syria is, and how deadly political correctness has become. Political correctness – which transforms the Islamic world, which has a lot to answer for, from aggressors into innocent victims – functions as a shield for Islamic terrorists, and handcuffs law-abiding citizens prompting them not to report suspicious activities by Muslims for fear of being called racist. Trump was especially courageous (and politically incorrect) in pointing out that the Muslim communities in which the terrorists operate know what is going on but don’t say anything. What a contrast with Hillary’s speech today, which focused on reinforcing political correctness – attacking so-called assault rifles, as though guns and not fanatics were the problem, and emphasizing the importance of not alienating Muslims by acknowledging that a large and growing segment of the Islamic world is at war with us. What contempt for Muslims who are also victims of Islamic terror! Does denying reality encourage non-belligerent Muslims to help us? For seven and a half years, the Obama administration has closed its eyes to the Islamic dimensions of the terrorist threat, has refused as long and as much as possible to even use the word “terror.” And what has been the result? Muslims in San Bernardino and St. Lucie – as Trump had the political courage to point out – saw something but said nothing about the atrocities brewing in their communities. At the same time, the progressive enablers of Islamist terror have been busy blaming Christian conservatives for the anti-gay hatred that is a core belief of the Islamists, rooted not only in their religious texts but relentlessly broadcast through their Imams and mosques. Donald Trump has shown how dangerous and deadly the PC orthodoxy of the political left is. He has laid out the practical steps that are absolutely necessary to protect Americans but have been missing during the seven and half years of Obama’s appeasement administration. And – it should be said – that have been missing from critiques of Obama by Republicans fearful of being politically incorrect. The Republican outcries against Trump’s call for a moratorium on Muslim immigration from terror zones are disgraceful and dangerous. The attacks by Republican renegades on Trump as a “trickle down racist” are disgusting and dangerous. They serve only one purpose, which is to cripple the only candidate in this presidential race who will actually defend this country and not facilitate its dismantling and destruction.

"Sen. Bernie Sanders, staying in the race at least through the Democratic primary in Washington, D.C., wants “a fundamental transformation of the Democratic Party” and sent an accompanying message from his campaign in which he appeared to renew his vows to remain in the race until the upcoming Democratic National Convention, despite Hillary Clinton being declared the party’s presidential nominee.",
"“The political revolution continues,” Sanders said an email message to volunteers and supporters notifying them that he will be speaking directly to grassroots supporters in a live, online video message on Thursday at 8:30 p.m. from Burlington, Vermont.",
"Sanders said “let me be as clear as I can be that I think the time is now. In fact, the time is long overdue for a fundamental transformation of the Democratic Party.”",
"Sanders also called for DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz to be removed from her post. “I do believe that we have to replace the current Democratic National Committee leadership. We need a person at the leadership of the DNC who is vigorously supporting and out working to bring people into the political process.”",
"He called for youth and working class citizens to become involved “the most progressive platform ever passed by the Democratic Party; a platform which makes it crystal clear that the Democratic Party is, in fact, on the side of working people,” people with low incomes and those who have no health insurance.",
"Sanders has stated that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump “will not be the next president.” Fox News’s Jennifer Griffin asked Sanders if his continuous refusal to endorse Clinton is helping Trump.",
"Let me make it very clear, if I haven’t 10,000 times previously: I think Donald Trump is totally unfit to be president of the United States. I think running a campaign based on bigotry, based on trying to separate us, based on attacking of Latinos and Mexicans and Muslims and African-Americans. It is hard for me, literally, to imagine that in the year 2016, a Republican Party would have a candidate like this.",
"Also on Tuesday, Sanders reportedly attended a closed-door meeting between him and his Democratic Senate colleagues. “He mentioned he has every intention of being involved in the platform process and making sure his 2,000 delegates have the opportunity to have their voices heard,” Sen. Tom Carper (D-DE) said according to USA Today.",
"Sanders had a scheduled a meeting with Clinton on Tuesday evening to discuss the Democratic Party’s platform and whether she intends to adopt several of his progressive policies. The meeting appeared to be an attempt to avoid a contested convention for the Democrats.",
"Asked by a reporter if he still believes Clinton needs to win over his vote, Sanders said “I will be meeting, as you all know, with Secretary Clinton this evening and I look forward to that meeting very, very much.”"

"Wisconsin and its 10 electoral votes are within reach of Republican Donald J. Trump as he climbs to a virtual tie with Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Badger State in the latest Breitbart News Network/Gravis Marketing survey.",
"The poll of 1,102 registered voters in Wisconsin finds Trump just three points back, right on the poll’s margin of error of three percent. Trump is at 43 percent compared to Clinton’s 46 percent in the survey conducted on Oct. 4, meaning the race is a statistical tie.",
"The tightening of the Wisconsin race comes as U.S. House Speaker Paul D. Ryan hits the trail on Saturday to campaign with Trump at Ryan’s “1st Congressional District Republican Party of Wisconsin Fall Fest” at the Walworth County Fairgrounds. A source close to the planning of the event said Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. joins the event as the guest of Trump. Several other senior Wisconsin Republicans, like the state’s GOP governor and former Trump rival Scott Walker–who has since endorsed Trump over Clinton for president–and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) will be present as well.",
"Democratic pollster Patrick Caddell told Breitbart News that the 2016 election is still very volatile, so to better measure voter presidential preferences, respondents were asked the question of who they would vote for twice. The first time came in the middle of the survey after some attitudinal questions about the respondents’ thoughts on the candidates and general mood, and then at the end of the survey after being asked about several key issues in the 2016 race before asking demographic questions.",
"In the first asking, Clinton led Trump with 48 percent to his 40 percent, Libertarian Gary Johnson was the choice of four percent, and Green Party nominee Jill Stein came in at one percent, he said. Johnson and Stein were unchanged. In the second, however, with the same sample, Trump moved up to 43 percent and Clinton dropped to 46 percent.",
"Caddell said the reason in the second asking Trump picked up five points is that the voters in Wisconsin, like elsewhere, are not settled.",
"“It is so important to remember, the voters, the people are not settled like the pundits or the candidates are settled,” Caddell said. “They are still getting to their decision point. These are the decisions that come to a head inside the voting booth or wherever they make up their mind.”",
"But, after having to consider questions about the economy, the U.S. handing over control of the Internet, bringing in more refugees or the performance of Obamacare, voters moved from supporting the former first lady to supporting the New York City developer, he said.",
"When they were asked if Obamacare was a “success,” 50 percent said no and 39 percent said it was a success.",
"Wisconsin voters were asked: The United States will relinquish its administrative control over the Internet to a private organization where other countries, which could include China, Russia and Iran, will have influence for the first time on the management of the Internet. Do you think this is a good idea or not? Seventy percent of the respondents said it was a bad idea and only five percent said it was a good idea.",
"Caddell said this question about the control of the Internet exposes how out of touch the Republican leadership in Washington, D.C. have become.",
"“If this had been raised, if this had been made into an issue, it would have would have helped every Republican and it would have hurt every Democrat–but, once again, like everything else–they caved on it,” he said.",
"“These are what I call ‘saliency’ issues,” Caddell said. “There are a lot latent attitudes and when they get sparked they become salient, more important, like with the refugees–if Trump was smart, he’d see–Americans are for his postion and they are against Obama and Clinton’s position on refugees.”",
"Badger State voters were asked: Hillary Clinton’s supporters at the Refugee Council want to increase the number of refugees coming into the United States in 2017 even more, to 200,000, and Hillary wants to increase the number of Syrian refugees in that total from 10,000 in 2016 to 65,000 in 2017. Do you approve or disapprove of this increase?",
"Wisconsin voters disapprove of this plan 62 percent to 25 percent in this poll.",
"Trump needs to make the refugee issue a front and center part of the discussion about what is going wrong in the country, just like he did with trade and the economy, so that Clinton cannot any longer fail to mention these issues, Caddell said.",
"Caddell, who is a Fox News Insider, said both nationally and in Wisconsin the only way Clinton wins is if she makes it a head-to-head contest between her and Trump on personality concerns. But, if Trump can make the election turn on the issues–a referendum, so to speak–voters will see that he is lined up where they are and make him the president, he said.",
"Pete Meachum, Wisconsin state director for Trump’s campaign, told Breitbart News the election will turn on the economy.",
"“Wisconsin’s workers want to win for Donald Trump. Hillary Clinton can’t connect with middle class voters because they simply cannot trust her,” he said.",
"“Donald Trump is the only candidate that will put Wisconsin first by creating jobs, restoring law and order and bringing prosperity back after eight years of failed economic policies that have plagued this country,” he said.",
"Wisconsin State Senate Majority Leader Scott L. Fitzgerald (R.-Juneau) told Breitbart News he is convinced Wisconsin is in play for Trump from the field reports he is receiving from other state senators and candidates.",
"“This time around, there are a lot of targeted Senate seats,” he said. “As we do our senate polling across the state, his numbers kept getting strong and then it was just a matter of time.”",
"“I guess we were all caught off guard, when we didn’t see that the rural areas of Wisconsin, up north and out west, would break as hard as they did for Donald Trump, but we’ve been watching it,” he said.",
"People who voted for Ted Cruz April 15 in the primary are starting to face the reality of having to choose between Trump and Clinton, he said. Wisconsin was in many ways one of the ground zeros–along with Colorado, where Trump is also surging–of the so-called now essentially defunct “Never Trump movement” during the GOP presidential primaries. It was the last state that Trump didn’t win, where Cruz made his last stand. But now, Fitzgerald and others tell Breitbart News, Wisconsin is drifting into Trump’s corner slowly but surely in the final weeks of the campaign.",
"“For Republicans, it is a clear choice,” Fitzgerald said.",
"Doug Kaplan, the managing partner of Gravis Marketing, the Florida-based firm that conducted the poll, said that Trump may shock the political world with a potential Wisconsin win on Nov. 8.",
"“Everyone treats Wisconsin as a lock for the Democrats, but Gov. Scott Walker is a very controversial Republican won there in 2010, his recall in 2012 and was reelected in 2014,” Kaplan said.",
"“In the presidential races, the Democrats have had an easier time, but to say that and ignore GOP wins statewide,’ Kaplan added.",
"In 2012, President Barack Obama beat his GOP opponent Mitt Romney with 53 percent of the vote to Romney’s 46 percent, he said. In 2008, it was not as close when Obama beat Sen. John S. McCain III (R.-Ariz.) with 56 percent to the former fighter pilot’s 42 percent.",
"The poll was conducted with random automated phone calls. Results were weighted to match a proprietary turnout model. The poll carries a margin of error of three percent with a 95 percent level of confidence."

The first time came in the middle of the survey after some attitudinal questions about the respondents’ thoughts on the candidates and general mood, and then at the end of the survey after being asked about several key issues in the 2016 race before asking demographic questions. In the first asking, Clinton led Trump with 48 percent to his 40 percent, Libertarian Gary Johnson was the choice of four percent, and Green Party nominee Jill Stein came in at one percent, he said. Johnson and Stein were unchanged. In the second, however, with the same sample, Trump moved up to 43 percent and Clinton dropped to 46 percent. Caddell said the reason in the second asking Trump picked up five points is that the voters in Wisconsin, like elsewhere, are not settled. “It is so important to remember, the voters, the people are not settled like the pundits or the candidates are settled,” Caddell said. “They are still getting to their decision point. These are the decisions that come to a head inside the voting booth or wherever they make up their mind.” But, after having to consider questions about the economy, the U.S. handing over control of the Internet, bringing in more refugees or the performance of Obamacare, voters moved from supporting the former first lady to supporting the New York City developer, he said. When they were asked if Obamacare was a “success,” 50 percent said no and 39 percent said it was a success. Wisconsin voters were asked: The United States will relinquish its administrative control over the Internet to a private organization where other countries, which could include China, Russia and Iran, will have influence for the first time on the management of the Internet. Do you think this is a good idea or not? Seventy percent of the respondents said it was a bad idea and only five percent said it was a good idea. Caddell said this question about the control of the Internet exposes how out of touch the Republican leadership in Washington, D.C. have become. “If this had been raised, if this had been made into an issue, it would have would have helped every Republican and it would have hurt every Democrat–but, once again, like everything else–they caved on it,” he said. “These are what I call ‘saliency’ issues,” Caddell said. “There are a lot latent attitudes and when they get sparked they become salient, more important, like with the refugees–if Trump was smart, he’d see–Americans are for his postion and they are against Obama and Clinton’s position on refugees.” Badger State voters were asked: Hillary Clinton’s supporters at the Refugee Council want to increase the number of refugees coming into the United States in 2017 even more, to 200,000, and Hillary wants to increase the number of Syrian refugees in that total from 10,000 in 2016 to 65,000 in 2017. Do you approve or disapprove of this increase? Wisconsin voters disapprove of this plan 62 percent to 25 percent in this poll. Trump needs to make the refugee issue a front and center part of the discussion about what is going wrong in the country, just like he did with trade and the economy, so that Clinton cannot any longer fail to mention these issues, Caddell said. Caddell, who is a Fox News Insider, said both nationally and in Wisconsin the only way Clinton wins is if she makes it a head-to-head contest between her and Trump on personality concerns. But, if Trump can make the election turn on the issues–a referendum, so to speak–voters will see that he is lined up where they are and make him the president, he said. Pete Meachum, Wisconsin state director for Trump’s campaign, told Breitbart News the election will turn on the economy. “Wisconsin’s workers want to win for Donald Trump. Hillary Clinton can’t connect with middle class voters because they simply cannot trust her,” he said. “Donald Trump is the only candidate that will put Wisconsin first by creating jobs, restoring law and order and bringing prosperity back after eight years of failed economic policies that have plagued this country,” he said. Wisconsin State Senate Majority Leader Scott L. Fitzgerald (R.-Juneau) told Breitbart News he is convinced Wisconsin is in play for Trump from the field reports he is receiving from other state senators and candidates. “This time around, there are a lot of targeted Senate seats,” he said. “As we do our senate polling across the state, his numbers kept getting strong and then it was just a matter of time.” “I guess we were all caught off guard, when we didn’t see that the rural areas of Wisconsin, up north and out west, would break as hard as they did for Donald Trump, but we’ve been watching it,” he said. People who voted for Ted Cruz April 15 in the primary are starting to face the reality of having to choose between Trump and Clinton, he said. Wisconsin was in many ways one of the ground zeros–along with Colorado, where Trump is also surging–of the so-called now essentially defunct “Never Trump movement” during the GOP presidential primaries. It was the last state that Trump didn’t win, where Cruz made his last stand. But now, Fitzgerald and others tell Breitbart News, Wisconsin is drifting into Trump’s corner slowly but surely in the final weeks of the campaign. “For Republicans, it is a clear choice,” Fitzgerald said. Doug Kaplan, the managing partner of Gravis Marketing, the Florida-based firm that conducted the poll, said that Trump may shock the political world with a potential Wisconsin win on Nov. 8. “Everyone treats Wisconsin as a lock for the Democrats, but Gov. Scott Walker is a very controversial Republican won there in 2010, his recall in 2012 and was reelected in 2014,” Kaplan said. “In the presidential races, the Democrats have had an easier time, but to say that and ignore GOP wins statewide,’ Kaplan added. In 2012, President Barack Obama beat his GOP opponent Mitt Romney with 53 percent of the vote to Romney’s 46 percent, he said. In 2008, it was not as close when Obama beat Sen. John S. McCain III (R.-Ariz.) with 56 percent to the former fighter pilot’s 42 percent. The poll was conducted with random automated phone calls. Results were weighted to match a proprietary turnout model. The poll carries a margin of error of three percent with a 95 percent level of confidence.

Donald Trump says his “shackles have been taken off” and he can “now fight for America” the way he wants to. It is so nice that the shackles have been taken off me and I can now fight for America the way I want to. Trump’s tweet was one of a series blasting Speaker of the House Paul Ryan — who announced that he won’t be campaigning for or defending Trump — along with other Republican lawmakers. Despite winning the second debate in a landslide (every poll), it is hard to do well when Paul Ryan and others give zero support! Our very weak and ineffective leader, Paul Ryan, had a bad conference call where his members went wild at his disloyalty. With the exception of cheating Bernie out of the nom the Dems have always proven to be far more loyal to each other than the Republicans! Disloyal R's are far more difficult than Crooked Hillary. They come at you from all sides. They don’t know how to win – I will teach them!

"Secretary of State John Kerry told the House Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday that the U.S. should be wary of trusting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s warnings on Iran, because Netanyahu had also backed the Iraq War. Kerry’s remarks were hypocritical, since he also supported the war. And they raise the disturbing suggestion, beloved of conspiracy theorists, that Israel is dragging the U.S. to war. Yet it is worth asking whether Kerry’s criticism has merit.",
"Netanyahu’s vehement assertion in 2002–as a private citizen, testifying to Congress–that Saddam Hussein was pursuing weapons of mass destruction certainly looks foolish in retrospect. In his defense, it is what the world’s intelligence agencies also believed. It may even have been what Saddam Hussein himself believed. It was the only conclusion to draw from Saddam’s defiance of the United Nations inspectors, and it was only the war that allowed the question to be settled.",
"Moreover, Netanyahu was right about a number of other things. He correctly predicted that the Iraq war could destabilize Iran, which it did in 2009 (though President Barack Obama failed to take advantage). He correctly predicted that the Iraq war would discourage other states in the region that had similar weapons programs: Libya soon gave its programs up, and Iran suspended its work towards a nuclear weapon for a time. Netanyahu also predicted the democratization of the region.",
"One thing that Netanyahu could not have predicted was the weakness of the next U.S. president. He stressed that the Iraq war and the war on terror would only succeed if America focused on “the three W’s — winning, winning and winning.” He could not have foreseen that Democrats would try to leave Iraq in defeat, and that Obama would later turn a victory into a loss. He could not have foreseen that the U.S. would actually promote the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran’s regional power.",
"Overall, Netanyahu’s support for the Iraq War actually reinforces his credibility, because so much of what he said about the region has actually transpired. Even if he had been wrong on every point regarding Iraq, that would not mean that what he is saying about Iran is untrue. In addition, Netanyahu’s warnings about Iran are corroborated even by those, like Kenneth Pollack, who oppose war as a policy option (Pollack favors a kind of containment). So Kerry’s criticism misses the mark.",
"Kerry’s jab at Netanyahu’s support for the Iraq War, then, deserves to be seen not as a substantive point but rather as a partisan one, a signal to fellow Democrats about which side of the argument they should back. The anti-war movement has taken over the Democratic Party, and so likening the Iran crisis to the Iraq war is an appeal to politics rather than reason.",
"In reality, history will judge Netanyahu’s errors in Iraq more favorably than Kerry’s errors on Iran–and elsewhere–today.",
