It turns out that Corey Lewandowski, the Donald Trump campaign manager whose alleged manhandling of a female Breitbart reporter caused an utter meltdown of that organization, is just a great guy whose temper flared up in an isolated incident. Just kidding—he’s always been a toxic shithead.

On Monday, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi endorsed Donald Trump for president. In 2013, Bondi’s office declined to investigate Trump University after Trump donated $25,000 to her re-election effort. “I know the system far better than anybody else and I know the system is broken,” Trump said last week.

In an appearance Monday at Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport in Vienna, Ohio, Donald Trump, in the course of criticizing John Kasich for abandoning his duties as governor in order to campaign for president also took a swipe at his friend and hostage Chris Christie for the very same thing.

The Global Times, China’s state-run newspaper, used this morning’s editorial space to weigh in on the farce that is our current electoral spectacle. The 500-word smirk essentially boiled down to: How’s that whole democracy thing working out now, dumbfucks?

Well-heeled New Englander Mitt Romney will be hitting the campaign trail in Ohio in support of John Kasich today, NBC News reports. Romney has made it clear that he is not endorsing his fellow governor, and that the stops are part of his larger effort to make sure that anyone but Donald Trump is the nominee. It’s unclear how much he’s helping on that front.

In a campaign that is increasingly being defined by the public’s weariness with inequality and aspects of free trade, the labor movement has settled on Hillary Clinton as its presumptive presidential preference. The labor movement is fucking up.

After tonight’s chaos at a cancelled rally in Chicago, Donald Trump told CNN’s Don Lemon his political events are “a lovefest” that feature “great love” and that he hopes his tone is “not that of causing violence [...] I don’t do that.” Here are some examples of the GOP presidential favorite endorsing that kind of love between people who disagree: the soft caress of a punch to the face, for example, or reverently tucking another into a paramedic’s stretcher.

Donald Trump’s rally in Chicago was canceled amid safety concerns this evening after an entire section of attendees turned out to be protestors, sending the arena and surrounding area into chaos.

A few days ago, Jeb Bush reportedly met with Ted Cruz, John Kasich and Marco Rubio in Miami. Why would three of the final four Republican candidates agree to a summit with the campaign’s giant-ass loser? Well, Erick Erickson has a pretty good theory:

At a Donald Trump rally in North Carolina on Wednesday, an old white dude blindsided a black protester with a punch simply for being a non-white person publicly showing his opposition to Donald Trump. This is not in dispute: On Inside Edition (lol), the sucker-puncher, John McGraw, said, “The next time we see him, we might have to kill him. We don’t know who he is. He might be with a terrorist organization.”

The following is an excerpt from the new book Sleeping Giant: How the New Working Class Will Transform America, by Tamara Draut, an executive at the progressive think tank Demos.

John McGraw, the 78-year-old white man who punched a black protestor at a Donald Trump rally in North Carolina last night, has been booked on charges of misdemeanor assault and battery and disorderly conduct, reports WNCN in Fayetteville.

At last night’s Trump rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina, a group of protestors were being peacefully led out by security when a Trump supporter stood up and sucker-punched one of the protestors as he was walking by. The unprovoked attack was captured on video from multiple angles.

Tonight’s Democratic debate featured the first explicit question on climate change (from a moderator) of the primary season, despite the fact that last year was the warmest in the United States on record. This winter has also been the warmest on record.

Remember—oh, you know. That one. The one who ruined that computer company? And then tried to run for president? Yeah, her. She’s officially endorsing Ted Cruz.

Washington Post opinion columnist and Graham Parsons fan Joe Scarborough writes today that Donald Trump’s hostile takeover of the Republican presidential primaries represents “the end of Ronald Reagan’s fabled coalition that ruled Republican politics for 40 years.”

With Marco Rubio’s campaign for the presidency likely drawing its last breaths, the candidate’s focus should be squarely on a single, attainable victory—one that is still well within reach. Not a surprise upset of Donald Trump in Rubio’s home state of Florida, but instead a far more glorious triumph—on the mega-popular reality show Dancing With the Stars.

Ted Cruz makes it seven wins with his victory in the Republican presidential primary in Idaho. That is, of course, seven more friends than Ted Cruz has ever had.

After a very close race, Bernie Sanders has pulled out his biggest win yet in what continues to be an unexpectedly difficult primary season for Hillary Clinton, who had led in the polls in Michigan before Tuesday.
