Very few people in the United States have any appetite for revolution, or anything like it. Even the ones attracted to the man who's slinging the term around. Bernie Sanders supporters are all after incremental change, just like Hillary supporters are, whether they're self-aware enough to know so or not.

Eighty-four percent of Americans think money has too much influence in U.S. politics. Why is there such overwhelming consensus on this point? Because it reflects a common-sense understanding of how our elections run and why the government fails to adopt available solutions to our biggest problems.

There are legitimate reasons for not supporting Hillary Clinton, but they are, almost inevitably, only partially complete. She pays a very high price, as a candidate, for her lady genes.

You could blame the rage of many Trump supporters on a backlash against a black president and against fear of immigrants. But that lets purely economic factors off the hook too easily. Today, the economy is on the mend, but that average progress isn't improving the life horizons of most people.

President Obama made a big breakthrough in public opinion polling in March, one that is (for once) pretty obvious in his chart. Take a look at this month's new chart -- it's pretty easy to see how big a deal this is, even on the overall chart of his entire time in office.

"If Egypt fails, every problem in the Mideast becomes a hundred times worse," observed Senator Lindsay Graham while leading a congressional delegation to Cairo last weekend.

Bernie Sanders has all of the momentum after another big win in Wisconsin, where 86 delegates are at stake. This marks Sanders' 17th win overall and his 7th consecutive victory.

But what does Ivana think? In response to that question, likely asked by no one, the former wife of Donald Trump has weighed in on her ex-husband, why he will be good for the country, and how she advises him on his 2016 campaign.

We can point to the obstructionist Republicans, but clearly one of the reasons Democrats are in the minority in both the House and Senate is that people who support our agenda haven't believed in us enough to go out and elect more of us.

There was a great deal of consternation last week when Donald Trump suggested that women who undergo an abortion should be incarcerated. I share that consternation. But I also feel that consternation when Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and other men (always a man, never a woman) suggest that doctors who perform an abortion should be incarcerated.

Recently Donald Trump broke with the Republican convention and roiled the party base by boldly stating "You call it whatever you want. I want to tell you. They [the Bush administration] lied."

The federal government has taken steps to ramp up resettlement in recent weeks, but the tremendous effort it will take to reach both goals remains lofty. In fact, we are currently on pace to resettle fewer refugees than last year despite the 2016 goal being 15,000 more.

Nothing impacts modern life more than science and yet the candidates are rarely asked questions about it and almost never mention it in speeches. This is a neglect of almost insane proportions. Even children know this.

Perhaps younger people don't realize the damage that a conservative state legislature can do to all of the proposals Sanders so strongly supports. You name the issue -- voting rights, reproductive rights, a fair and equitable wage, the right to organize -- all those issues are being systematically threatened at the state level.

Today's ruling is a huge win for our democracy. It affirms the principle that everyone counts and everyone deserves representation.

What is most offensive about the Trump, Cruz, Carson, anti-abortion contention that women who have abortions are "victims" is that it is profoundly dishonest and insulting to the dignity and integrity of women. They should be ashamed.

Players who take shortcuts to success may advance for a while, but end up hurting themselves and their teams in the end. Campaigns who ignore the fundamentals of a campaign by failing to turn the self expression of activism into movement-building or organizing will fall short.
