Republicans wanted Rubio on the stump. Trump coaxed him there.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Tuesday came as close to the campaign trail as he’s been all year. And even then, he tried to stay just offshore. Rubio appeared with President Donald Trump in Corpus Christi, Texas, as he rallied alongside an oil tanker carrying Venezuelan crude. The visit helped spotlight a proud White…
Dems have lost in the rural Midwest for years. This might be their time to win it back.
EAU CLAIRE, Wisconsin — In this rural-heavy stretch of the upper Midwest, Democrats are trying to claw back districts where their party brand is still deeply toxic.

Who Would Make A 24-Team College Football Playoff Field Ahead Of Week 9?
I’m rather astonished by the reality faced by Oregon, USC and Texas A&M. They’re not represented anywhere at all in my latest projected 24-team College Football Playoff field. In a 12-team format, only USC still stands a chance of receiving an invitation to the tournament. But that’s like saying a ripe banana dropped into a…
