Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump won big in yesterday’s New York Primary contests.

Last night the Fox Business Network hosted a debate amongst the 2016 Presidential Republican candidates. Just writing that feels like déjà vu – this would be the 6th debate thus far. And think! Only six more to go!

The 2016 election has, for a while now, felt eerily akin to 1984 (lots ‘o doublespeak coming out of Trump and his supporters).

Wayne Tracker. When I first came across this made-up alias, it didn’t speak to me like someone’s first and last name.

Tim Kaine and Mike Pence both showed themselves superior to their presidential ticket counterparts. Ouch.
