The 2016 presidential campaign is unofficially underway.

 

Those who oppose the very idea of a Republican ever again winning the White House are already in full battle mode. As was the case in the 2012 cycle, their strategy is to eliminate anyone the nation’s center-right base might actually like or learn to like before they even get out of the gate.

 

To be clear, I’m talking about the establishment press, not Democratic Party officials and officeholders. Most lefty pols are only too glad to pretend to be above it all as beat journalists, aided and abetted by RINO pundits who conveniently forget that the candidates they favored lost the last two times out, try to carry out their assigned dirty work for them.
