Caricatures les républicains peuvent gouverner le pays
Caricature de JOHN COLE, THE SCRANTON TIMES-TRIBUNE
Les républicains étaient heureux d'obtenir le contrôle des deux chambres lors des élections de mi-mandat. Ils affirmaient être maintenant en mesure d'influencer positivement la gestion du pays. C'était sans compter les divisions provoquer par les élus près de la faction Tea party. Le speaker de la Chambre John Boehner est parvenu à les contourner hier encore, mais il faut prévoir d'autres manifestations des divisions au sein du parti.

Les démocrates peuvent-ils reprendre le Sénat en 2016? C'est bien possible.
"In 2016, the Republicans seem to have their backs to the wall, defending 24 seats to the Democrats’ 10. Just two Democratic seats—Harry Reid’s in Nevada and Michael Bennet’s in Colorado—are not solid, both in states where the GOP surged in 2014. In the Silver State, Republican Brian Sandoval would start as the frontrunner if he decided to challenge Reid, though the recently-reelected governor appears unlikely to run. It’s also not impossible that Reid, who says he will seek re-election, ultimately decides to retire. There are several potential Bennet opponents, such as Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, but no one that immediately suggests the incumbent is doomed. Moreover, both Reid and Bennet have an ace to play: Presidential level turnout will draw out a much larger group of Democratic voters, especially Hispanics and the young, than we saw in 2014."

Les courriels d'Hillary Clinton: une mine d'or pour les républicains?
"Within hours of a report that Clinton had relied heavily on her personal email address while serving as secretary of state, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, a Republican eyeing 2016, tweeted to demand that she release all her emails. By Tuesday morning, the GOP opposition group America Rising filed a Freedom of Information Act request to the State Department, requesting copies of emails sent to Clinton.
The quick reaction was a product of the machine that Republicans have built to attack 2016’s presumptive Democratic frontrunner, but it also suggested that this is an issue with staying power, one that Republicans can be expected to tie to other potential scandals and refer to over many months even if Clinton releases all her correspondence.
In a sense, the situation bears some resemblance to the case of Romney and his tax returns. Repeated demands from Democrats — and some Republicans — that the former private equity executive disclose his returns hindered the GOP nominee’s campaign in 2012. It took him until September 2012 to release his 2011 documents, by which point Democrats had successfully painted him as an out-of-touch plutocrat."

Netanyahou au Congrès: les démocrates insultés
"Netanyahu had said the concessions he was criticizing weren’t secret and could be found on Google. “I don’t usually trust things that I find on Google. So I want to actually see the deal,” said Sen. Gary Peters, a Michigan Democrat. Many of Peters’s Democratic colleagues were less restrained, led by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who was visibly agitated during the speech. She said afterward that she was near tears, “saddened by the insult to the intelligence of the United States” and the “condescension toward our knowledge of the threat posed by Iran.”

États-Unis et Iran: le point sur les négociations
"While Kerry and other U.S. officials have long maintained that no deal is preferable to one that can be easily broken, Kerry laid out a broad vision of what an acceptable deal to him would look like.
"Any deal that we would possibly agree to would make the international community, and especially Israel, safer than it is today. That's our standard," Kerry said Monday as his meetings with Zarif began."
