Rubio’s Case for a Stronger West

Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a speech at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday that stood out not for its bombast but for its clarity. In a room filled with political figures from across the Atlantic — and from both parties at home — Rubio was unmistakably the adult in the room.

CNN Touts Colbert-Talarico Stunt As a 'Perfect Storm,' Everybody Wins!

On Jake Tapper's CNN show on Tuesday, they discussed Stephen Colbert's stunt of putting an interview with Texas state Rep.
