Marco Rubio is seen as the serious person in Trump’s cabinet. Could this let him become the Republican nominee for President?

Trump's poll numbers are worse than ever. Republicans are hoping that this is just a blip related to the Iran War and that Trump’s approval might go up before the midterms. Here’s why they are probably wrong. www.messageboxnews.com/p/why-trumps...

You don’t beat the far right with moderation. You have to confront it. Career politicians are unequipped to handle this moment. It’s time for them to step aside.
Excerpt from The Guardian story, featuring midterm candidates looking to change the Democratic party. Copy on excerpt reads: 

THE GUARDIAN: US NEWS
HEADLINE: "'Are you willing to fight back?: Democrats ready to take on party's old guard ahead of midterms"

Photo of Kat showcased holding a stack of yard signs. Copy below reads: 

"Another test case is Illinois' deep blue 9th District, where Kat Abughazaleh, 26, a progressive Palestinian American, is taking on a Democratic establishment she accuses of complacency and cowardice."
Excerpt from The Guardian story, featuring midterm candidates looking to change the Democratic party. Copy on excerpt reads: 

"Abughazaleh believes that Democrats have long failed to meet the moment of taking on the far right. For her and many progressive challengers across the country, countering the Trump administration is inextricably linked to combating the influence of groups such as Aipac and challenging the corporate status quo.

Abughazaleh said: "I even see it in my own campaign where there are local leaders and elected officials that call me before endorsing one of my opponents, apologetically saying, I love what you're doing but I'm feeling a lot of pressure to endorse this way or the other. They feel that pressure in the first place instead of being able to stick to their values and it's a shame that we have a party that makes people feel like that."

"I don't know how many times we have to keep doing the same thing over and over and over again of insisting that we have to be more moderate, that we have to move to the right," Abughazaleh added, arguing that policies ensuring affordable housing, groceries and healthcare should represent the political centre."

Utah County clerk has discovered bogus signatures on the GOP petitions to repeal Proposition 4 “Davidson said his office has flagged more than 500 fraudulent signatures on the petition to have Prop 4's repeal placed on the ballot. In some cases, the clerk believes they forged names like Conover's.”

Bogus efforts used to gain Prop 4 repeal signatures called 'most extensive fraud that we've seen'
With less than two weeks to go, the effort to repeal Proposition 4 in the state still faces a deficit of around 75,000 signatures to even get on the November ballot
