Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders represent two sides of the same coin. Both men have tapped into a deep anger -- a discontent -- in the public mood. But our anger should be directed less at politicians (although many are deservedly targets) and more at ourselves for expecting more from government than it can deliver.

It's been amusing in recent weeks to watch Washington pundits grappling with Trumpmania and the surge of Bernie Sanders. To say that the rise of these unusual candidates has been unsettling for the political elites would be a gross understatement.

While every viewer probably had questions they wish had been asked, overall I thought the panel's choices were fine. As one with some experience in responding to aggressive questioning from liberal TV and radio interrogators, here are some suggestions for the candidates should the sort of questions they faced last Thursday come up again.

When it comes to debates the Oxford Union, which bills itself as the "world's most prestigious debating society," remains the gold standard.... Oxford Union debates produce useful information. The same cannot be said for U.S. presidential debates.

Out of nowhere, non-politician Donald Trump has shot to the top of the polls by denouncing America's widely unpopular immigration policies. All those high-priced campaign consultants are standing around scratching their heads. Americans can see they're being forced to subsidize people who are being brought in only to outvote them, provide cheap labor and change our culture.

What's behind the huge premium increases on the Obamacare exchanges?
Supporters and opponents offer wildly different explanations and theories. They all pore over the data and get into the details of who is signing up, what the risk pools look like and other things actuaries find exciting
Liberal Media Are Unwittingly Giving Trump a Megaphone to Highlight Issues They Otherwise Wouldn't Cover
By R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr. | July 16, 2015 | 9:17 PM EDT "A couple of weeks ago, [Donald Trump] was scrambling within a tight pack of Republican also-rans. Now, thanks to the media's almost ceaseless coverage, he is near the top of the Republican heap. In some polls, he is atop the heap. The fact that the media were endeavoring to ambush his candidacy should tell you quite a lot about the media's own ineptitude in politics and about Trump's cunning."

Last November, Terrence Bean was taken into custody in Portland, Oregon following an indictment by a jury that charged him with multiple sex crimes against minors. Now additional child sexual abuse charges have been made against him. Why isn't the media covering this? Because he's a prominent gay leader, that's why.
