The Trump Bump will Fade.  (U.S. News, 7/17/2015)

Prediction: By summer's end, Republican presidential candidate and real estate mogul Donald Trump will be back where he belongs – at the bottom of the polls. Bless his heart.  (Jean Card is described here as a writer and communications consultant with expertise in public policy and small business issues.  But she obviously has no expertise in making poll predictions.)

The beginning of the end for Donald Trump?  (CNBC, 7/17/2015)

While it's true Donald Trump's political demise has been written before and he has continued to defy political pundits with his strength atop the polls, we will look back at last night's debate and see it as the beginning of the end of Donald Trump's grip atop the GOP field. Three reasons make this so.  (The author of this piece is a former political director for Dubya.

Look what's going on now, folks.

Scott Walker administration finding new way to deny public records.  (Madison.com, 12/5/2015)

So much for 'as they are being formed'.  In at least two recent cases, the administration says it doesn’t have to keep certain “transitory” records and therefore can’t release records it doesn’t have.

That judgment is based on the decisions of an obscure eight-member body appointed by the governor and other state officials to oversee state records retention policy.
