Why is the middle ground so hard to find?
Dec 29, 2015 1:00 AM - As someone who covers the 2016 presidential candidates while parenting three young children, I spend half my waking hours keeping an eye on rowdy juveniles who hunger for attention, don't listen, fib often, pick on each other, fight incessantly, refuse to admit they're wrong, and don't know how to behave in public.

On one issue, the gap is enormous: How should Republicans approach Hispanic voters? The question is tearing the GOP apart, as some candidates engage in Hispanic outreach and others disparage the very idea.

The left's convenient villain
Dec 16, 2014 5:01 AM - Columnist Ruben Navarrette: "I'm known as the architect of torture," Alberto Gonzales told me by phone from Nashville, where the former U.S. attorney general is now a lawyer in private practice and dean of the College of Law at Belmont University.
