Ron DeSantis’ odds at dethroning Donald Trump atop the GOP primaries have plummeted in New Hampshire, as some of his rivals’ numbers have moved to challenge him for second place in the key state.
A new CNN/University of New Hampshire poll published Wednesday revealed that the Florida Gov. holds 10 percent of the state’s likely GOP primary voters — a drop of 13 points since the last Unh survey in July, which poised DeSantis as Trump’s chief rival.
While the former president continues to hold a wide lead at 39 percent,...

Robert Bigelow has realized that building inflatable, orbiting motels is only the second-most ridiculous way he’s burning cash. The ultra-wealthy hotel magnate, who has donated more than $20 million to the pro-Ron DeSantis super Pac “Never Back Down” told Reuters on Friday that the presidential candidate needs to make major changes before he’ll give him another cent.
Bigelow is the largest individual contributor to “Never Back Down,” and his comments to Reuters reflect a pattern of discontent amongst DeSantis donors, who are guarding their wallets as the Florida Governor’s polling slips.

Presidential candidates like to distinguish themselves from their rivals, and while it’s common for prospective nominees to highlight their stance on issues like the economy and national defense, it’s rare that a candidate comes out in support of shutting down the government.
On Tuesday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis did just that. During an interview with Newsmax, DeSantis said he would support a federal government shutdown — an event that would cripple government services from Medicare to national parks to air traffic control — in order to curb spending.
“Spending is out of control,...

Ron DeSantis is doing CPR on his campaign, and there’s no Republican spin room quite like Fox News. Amid a discussion of campaign drama and tanking polling, the Florida governor, a Navy veteran, told Fox’s Bret Baier that he supported Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s freeze on military promotions — because pronouns and drag queens?
“Do you support Senator Tommy Tuberville from Alabama blocking the military promotions [over] Pentagon policy, abortion policy?” Baier asked.
“I do. Because I think the Pentagon is violating the law,” DeSantis said, referring to the Defense...

Fox Business Network came in for criticism late Thursday evening after playing edited footage of Nancy Pelosi that appeared to show the Speaker of the House stumbling and stammering over her words during a press conference earlier that day.
“This is a deceptively edited video,” Brooke Binkowski, a former managing editor of the fact-checking website Snopes, said in a tweet.
“Despite what Trump and Fox Business would have you believe, Nancy Pelosi spoke quite clearly during her news conference today,” added Vox’s Aaron Rupar, while sharing a tweet featuring the full unedited Pelosi video.
The original video was first played on Fox Business’ “Lou Dobbs Tonight” program by Fox News and Fox Business legal contributor Gregg Jarrett.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-n.Y.) is not your typical member of Congress. After just a few days in office, she is already exchanging barbs with the Republican leadership and pundits on social media, defending herself against their criticisms.
It started with a dance. Conservatives began circulating a video of Ocasio-Cortez dancing with friends on a rooftop when she was in college. She shot back with a new video, dancing outside her Congressional office, accompanied by a tweet reading, “I hear the Gop thinks women dancing are scandalous. Wait till they find out Congresswomen dance too!

Republicans in the #NeverTrump camp had hung their hopes on a contested convention barring Donald Trump from becoming the nominee - but has that dream, as conservative blogger Matt Drudge tweeted, "evaporated in the corn fields of Indiana"? The Gop front-runner became the presumptive Gop nominee Tuesday night when, after winning the Indiana primary, his sole legitimate rival, Ted Cruz, dropped out of the race. Trump said he spoke with Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus Tuesday night and the chairman, who himself has had a strained relationship with Trump, confirmed that the billionaire businessman's name would be on the ballot in November.

Conan O'Brien is trading the talk show desk for a wooden table in a new web-only chat show, called "Serious Jibber-Jabber." Based on the few details found on Team Coco, O'Brien's web outpost, the comedian will have lengthy conversations with "interesting people" (presumably, guests of O'Brien's choosing).
In a short teaser, O'Brien appears against an all-black set with a table (the website jokes that they "stole the set from Charlie Rose"). He explains to an unseen guest that he wants to use this show as a chance to break out of the restrictive TV talk show format that only allows for short, largely artificial segments with guests.
"This is my dream job, to sit and get to talk to people like you," O'Brien says to the guest.
Although he is mostly known for televised silliness, it's not altogether surprising that O'Brien would elect to host a more thoughtful chat program.

America Live's Megyn Kelly brought on a panel Tuesday to discuss the mounting pressure from the Gop urging Senatorial candidate Todd Akin to step down. Ed Rollins felt that there is no possible way Akin can win this race as money and support dwindle in the wake of his comments, and also runs the risk of damaging Mitt Romney's chances of winning Missouri.

Influential Republican operative and all-around evil genius Lee Atwater was a man of contradictions: In 1990, he released an album of classic R&B covers called Red Hot & Blue with help from Isaac Hayes, B.B, King, and Billy Preston, yet his deep love of African-American culture and music didn't keep him from making scowling black rapist/murderer Willie Horton a household name, cannily exploiting racism while running George H.W. Bush's successful 1988 presidential campaign. Stefan Forbes' conventional but absorbing documentary Boogie Man chronicles Atwater's meteoric rise from wisecracking Southern good ol' boy to top political consultant. Atwater emerges as a complex figure, a backstabbing Iago who plotted furtively against mentor Ed Rollins and taught the dark art of manipulating public opinion to protégé Karl Rove. At the height of his personal and professional success, Atwater was stricken with a fatal brain tumor that was treated with steroids, which in turn.
