Donald Trump—a Chipotle burrito taken to its natural, digested conclusion—spent the weekend campaigning in Colorado, which means that, yet again, he boohooed in public about purported election rigging. And in the process, he may have even implied that Colorado constituents should vote more than once.
“It’s really hard for a lot of conservative women to contemplate the idea of feminism because it’s been so owned by liberal democrats pushing very progressive policy ideas,” Amanda Carpenter, a CNN contributor and former communications aide to Sen. Ted Cruz, said in a Washington Post video released yesterday. But…
With the Republican National Convention looming, Donald Trump, our favorite fascist wad of upchucked puréed carrots, needs to corral supporters who will stimulate the crowd. Unfortunately for him, some of the party’s most popular members plan to steer clear of the event.
On Thursday, April 21, 16-year-old trans high school student James Van Kuilenburg was forced to vacate a Ted Cruz campaign rally in Frederick, Maryland.
Ted Cruz, GOP presidential candidate and sinister twin of Ratigan, has publicly denied the National Enquirer’s allegations of his marital infidelity.
A man—a very lonely man, lurching forward with a hunch—stood tonight at a podium, gathered his losses, and projected an aura of confidence. It was not his night; the confidence was not earned; and yet it was fitting, for the man was the Zodiac Killer, and also a favored Republican presidential candidate. It was as…
This time last year, the mood at the Conservative Political Action Conference could best be described as giddy as hell. Republicans were, at that point, spoiled for presidential candidates: Rand Paul won the presidential straw poll, with Scott Walker close behind. Ben Carson spent the event being trailed by his own…

Morning Joe host and former Republican politician Joe Scarborough has a bone to pick with self-proclaimed “bae” Marco Rubio, who has appeared on a variety of shows on competing networks but refuses to come in for an interview on his.
On October 5, 2015, Republican presidential candidate and rubber-faced cherub Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) received a “care package” from rival and noted troll Donald Trump. The contents? Among other various sundries, it included “a 24-bottle case of ‘Trump Ice Natural Spring Water’” — a gift lampooning the young senator’s…
Chris Christie—unrequited lover of Bruce Springsteen, Governor of New Jersey, and Republican presidential candidate—has a hungry heart. Ignored during his party’s first presidential debate, he was deprived of the opportunity to tell us his dreams and aspirations. But he won’t be silenced again, oh no. Next time this…
Newly-announced presidential hopeful Marco Rubio is like Barack Obama in many ways. Sure, he opposes Roe v. Wade and same-sex marriage, doesn’t believe humans are causing climate change, and would like to smash Obamacare to smithereens, but when it comes to lofty, experience-disguising rhetoric and hip, hip musical…
Because it totally makes sense for the state that has the fifth highest teen pregnancy rate in the country, the state of Texas wants to cut funding for programs to prevent HIV and other STIs and boost programs that teach abstinence instead.
Hello Texas state residents, and any American human of voting age who has even an ounce of concern about the men and women elected to lead our nation: Texas is about to elect a living, breathing, Rush Limbaugh parody as its next Lieutenant Governor and every last one of us should be terrified.
What is the world coming to when a Republican publicist can't even wear dangly jewelry or a seersucker suit while making the Sunday-morning talk show rounds? THANKS, OBAMA.
The midterm elections are coming, and this time the Republican Party wants YOUR vote, ladies. Not by revamping their platform and selecting candidates that don't say horrifying, sexist shit—don't be silly! No, as the Daily Show's Kirsten Schaalexplained last night, the GOP is producing a bunch of ads putting…
The Republican party’s seeming inability to avoid saying dumb shit about rape has baffled many this election cycle. But it turns out, that the reason behind the GOP’s rape obsession has been right in front of our noses this entire time. Indeed, you can’t spell the word “Republican Party” without the letters R, A, P,…
Political celebutante Meghan McCain is still around, serving as the Official Poster Child for Young Republicans and trying to paint herself as a cool conservative who isn't into all that icky hateful stuff young people find abhorrent. But as hard as she tries to sit at the cool kids' table, her act still comes across…
Republican strategist Mary Matalin appeared on Good Morning America this morning and championed Herman Cain's statements made at his press conference, calling his denial "powerful and believable." Worse, she blames the women who have stepped forward for being feminists during a time when she thinks feminists were…
