Bill Maher closed out the 500th episode of his HBO series Real Time with Bill Maher with a bruising appraisal of the Democratic Party’s feckless options for 2020 and a point-by-point explanation of why there is one (and only one) “sure-thing winner” for the opposition party: Oprah Winfrey.
“I am telling you, at this particular moment in history and in this particular election year, she is the only candidate who is a sure-thing winner for the Democrats,” Maher said, adding as an aside: “No pressure.”
Maher noted several times that he wasn’t urging Winfrey to run (he said that would be for others to do) and he expressed doubts that she would ever enter the race. And, with more exasperation than excitement, Maher explained that Winfrey’s media position and her stature with women are among the reasons she could take the White House from President Donald J. Trump.

On April 6, the last voice Michael Elliott heard seconds before he died was that of his ex-wife and best friend, who shared the words she thought would “make him happy.”
“I told him everything was okay,” Teresa Elliott tells People. “And then I told him Donald Trump had been impeached.”
“He immediately stopped struggling and became calm and relaxed,” she continues, “and took one last breath and that was it.”
The 75-year-old “passed away peacefully,” and was “surrounded by people who loved him dearly,” according to his obituary published in The Oregonian.

At exactly 12:00 p.m. on Jan. 20, Donald Trump will be inheriting a whole lot of power — nuclear power.
And the crux of it is held in one secretive briefcase.
Weighing 45 pounds, the aluminum briefcase covered in black leather is called the president’s “emergency satchel” — and is nicknamed the “nuclear football.” Inside it holds the president’s control over the nation’s nuclear arsenal.
And in two weeks it will be in Trump’s hands.

Since he began tracking U.S. elections in 1980, Allan Lichtman, a distinguished professor of history at American University, has gained the admiration of his peers for correctly predicting every presidential race since 1984. He does it not with the kind of "big data" analysis that has made media stars out of the likes of Nate Silver. Rather, he uses a relatively simple, 13-point system — derived, believe it or not, from the same inexact science that predicts earthquakes. And according to his system (which is outlined in his book Predicting the Next President: The Keys to the White
