Economic growth has stagnated under Obama
This week the Democrats officially coronate the battered Hillary Clinton as the torch bearer for the party. She has slouched to the finish line. She is tired and the country is tired of her. Sorry, Democrats, no do-overs. You're stuck with her. Published July 24, 2016

STEPHEN MOORE: Hillary Clinton’s enablers on the right
Is there anything more laughable than all the former members of the George W. Bush brain trust torching conservatives for getting behind Donald Trump?
