Could Donald Trump win in November thanks to Democrats?
The Fix's Chris Cillizza breaks down the biggest question about Chris Christie's endorsement of Donald Trump: Why? (Peter Stevenson/The Washington Post) No one wants to claim Donald Trump as their own. Ted Cruz and other anti-Trump Republicans have argued that it's independents -- or maybe even sneaky, disruptive Democrats, like those our Dave Weigel spoke with in Virginia -- who are handing victories to Trump. In states where only Republicans can vote in closed primaries, they say, Trump..>> view originalSupreme Court hears arguments on Texas abortion-clinics case
The Supreme Court’s liberal justices seemed united in Wednesday’s arguments that Texas’ abortion regulations are an unconstitutional burden on a woman’s right to an abortion, but the justice who holds the key vote questioned whether there was enough evidence to make such a finding. Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, whom both sides consider pivotal to the outcome of the court’s most important abortion case in a generation, wondered whether it was possible to tell if the changes in Texas law were respo..>> view originalBen Carson tells supporters he sees no 'path forward' for ...
Ben Carson, the retired neurosurgeon who briefly led the Republican presidential race before his campaign began an extended public implosion, told his supporters in a statement Wednesday afternoon that he does not see a “path forward” and will not attend Thursday’s debate in Detroit. But Carson did not formally suspend his campaign. Instead, he said in the statement that he has decided to make a speech about his political future on Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryl..>> view originalUN adopts sweeping new sanctions on North Korea
The United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted harsh sanctions Wednesday on North Korea, imposing some of the strongest measures ever used to pressure Pyongyang to abandon its nuclear weapons program. The new sanctions come two months after North Korea tested what it claimed was a hydrogen bomb and a month after it conducted what was widely described as a banned missile test under the guise of launching a satellite into space. But U.S. officials began drafting the measures three years ..>> view originalThe real winner of Super Tuesday is Canada

(REUTERS/Chris Wattie) In the waning hours of Super Tuesday, the American public took note of a few key developments: Donald Trump was projected to win in at least seven states.

(AP Photo/Mary Schwalm) John Kasich is not going to win the Republican nomination. That's obvious to the point of not needing to be fleshed out. He's done well in the moderate confines of New England, with second-place finishes in Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire, but that's about it. Kasich is also not why Donald Trump is on the verge of winning the Rep..>> view originalJesse Matthew convicted in slayings of college students
A Charlottesville-area man was convicted in the high-profile killings of two Va. college students Wednesday as part of a plea deal with prosecutors that spared him the possibility of facing the death penalty. Jesse Leroy Matthew Jr., 33, entered guilty pleas in Albemarle County court for the 2014 slaying of University of Virginia student Hannah Graham and the 2009 killing of Virginia Tech junior Morgan Harrington. He was sentenced to four life terms. Matthew, who was charged with the disappeara..>> view originalRandy Wittman explains his thinking on basketball analytics
(Photo by Toni L. Sandys/ The Washington Post) Dropping the word “analytics” in a sports conversation has become like dropping the word “Trump” in political circles; the sides have already been drawn and no additional context is required. Some people are instantly sympathetic. Others are instantly repelled.
