Delegate total suggests Sanders is still in the race — despite media bias

Tuesday's primaries may prove decisive, but it's not time to end the nominating contests just yet.

Voters in Ohio, Florida, Missouri, North Carolina and Illinois are poised to strike decisively in presidential race

When talking about the presidential election, what I hear the most often from my friends -- and what I wonder myself sometimes -- is whether a third-party candidate could emerge that lands somewhere in the middle of the political extremes.

Don't trust the polls

The most plausible path to a Trump-free, Republican-controlled White House is consolidation around Mr. Cruz. It's a difficult conclusion for many people, and some may not get there until Sen. Marco Rubio loses the primary in his home state of Florida. And some may never accept Mr. Cruz, opting to bend the knee to Mr. Trump instead.

The movement to stop Mr. Trump could surge next week, but it also could work to his advantage.

The Baltimore Sun and University of Baltimore found former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton leading Sanders by 33 percent among likely Maryland Democratic primary voters.

Bigotry is bipartisan

Now that Donald Trump is the likely presidential nominee for the Republican Party in 2016, there are many questions that are interesting to consider regarding the Republican convention set for July 18-21 in Cleveland, Ohio.

On the day Mitt Romney called Donald Trump a con man, a fraud and a phony, and Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz subsequently ran Mr. Trump through a televised debate buzz saw, the Republican Party may have hit a new low in self-disparagement.

The GOP establishment is handing the presidency to Hillary.

Hillary still isn't a shoo-in

Super Tuesday made it clear that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are likely to be the presidential nominees.

When will The Sun and others challenge Hillary Clinton?

Trump's Super Tuesday gains further test an increasingly fractious political party

African-American votes may be the pivot on which rests victory or defeat for the Democratic candidate.

It looks more and more like the presidential race will be between Clinton vs. Trump. So no news there. Both candidates have flaws.

No matter his views on white supremacy, Donald Trump is now on track to win his party's nomination and the GOP should weep because of it

Fatima Dicko appreciates the relationship the Clintons have long maintained with African-American voters, and the significance of putting a woman in the White House for the first time.

After starting small, the presidential campaign has exploded into a nationwide contest that on Tuesday could all but decide the Democratic and Republican nominating fights.

Whatever the political fates of Messrs. Trump and Sanders, the anti-establishment rebellion will continue.

Neither a socialist nor a liar deserve to be elected to the country's highest office

Bush's bow-out was unsurprising, but it still leaves the presidential field with a much shorter supply of compassion, experience and decorum.

The gravity of foreign threats to the U.S. has yet to enter into the presidential contest in a serious way.

If the presidential campaign of 2016 were a sporting event, it would be a cockfight, says Leonard Pitts Jr.

"Why won't Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton speak of the virtues of hard work?" asks Cal Thomas.

Gender equality, like racial equality, is a fraught topic. Women don't want to be seen as weak, shrill or whining, so many adopt a grin-and-bear-it attitude toward the various indignities we may encounter — from lower pay to lower expectations. Speaking up on serious topics puts a target on your back and invites labels, whether they're contained in song lyrics or on social media.

Prominent Baltimore attorney William H. "Billy" Murphy Jr., who represents the family of Freddie Gray, announced his support Thursday for Hillary Clinton's presidential cam

Listening to the talking heads trying to make the case that voter anger has propelled Donald Trump to victory in New Hampshire's Republican presidential primary last Tuesday neglects the very important fact that 65 percent of Republicans went to the polls and did not vote for Trump. Thus, at least 65 percent of GOP voters in New Hampshire are not as angry or crazy about Trump as the talking heads would have us believe; the data don't support their narrative.

Hillary Clinton cannot shatter the ultimate glass ceiling if she cannot inspire young voters, says David Horsey.

Hillary Clinton is no Barack Obama, for good and for ill. Race and gender play different roles in our society. And, right or wrong, the prospect of the first black president was more exciting for more Americans than the prospect of the first female president is.

Maryland's process of selecting presidential delegates is arcane, and widely ignored by voters. But the delegate slates filed by the presidential campaigns offer insight into a candidate's organizing prowess and whether they are playing a long game in anticipation of a protracted primary battle, or a contested convention.

Establishment politics in both major parties are in crisis, says Jules Witcover.

The expectation that women should support Hillary Clinton is not about equality

Convincing victories by political outsiders in New Hampshire demonstrate without doubt that most voters are disgusted with both political parties. The electorate will probably make one of them — more likely Donald Trump — the next commander in chief.

Voters choose Bernie Sanders over the competitor who claims to 'get things done'

John Kasich's strong showing in New Hampshire reveals an unlikely twist — an upbeat, moderate message still sells

Perhaps the biggest problem associated with a nearly two-year-long presidential campaign receiving constant media attention is that it creates the incorrect perception that whoever wins should and will have the power to unilaterally solve a host of difficult problems, some of which have little to do with the presidency or even the federal government.

1. As much as it wants to be considered a mainstream news organization, Fox News still marches to its own ideological drummer.

We have a proven, more qualified and (sorry, Bernie) younger female candidate in Hillary Clinton, and yet we have young women supporting Bernie. How can this be? Because young women just don't get it.

After cautious and civil sparring by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in their first New Hampshire encounter, they took of the gloves in their Democratic debate last week and defined the essential issues between them.

Whether Rubio is a robot or Clinton is falling behind Sanders, Granite State voters will now offer their influential view

Steve Phillips, author of "Brown Is the New White: How the Demographic Revolution Has Created a New American Majority," talks about the country¿s progressive political shift, the candidacies of Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, and what he calls the "tyranny of the white swing voter."

Hillary Clinton's victory in Iowa was arguably the worst of all possible outcomes for the Democratic Party.

The Iowa outcome allows hope that the 2016 campaign will become less carnival-like, says Jules Witcover.
