Armstrong Williams, who was a senior adviser to Dr. Ben Carson’s presidential campaign, tells Breitbart News Daily host Stephen K. Bannon about the aftermath of the Brussels terror attack, and its ramifications for the American presidential campaign.

If the Democrat-In-Name-Only bloc is as large as Donald Trump hopes, and holds together despite enormous pressure to abandon him during the general election, it might also be an ironic benefit of the very same Republican Party establishment which Trump voters are generally unhappy with.

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) announced his team of national security advisers on Thursday. The group includes a wide range of views, especially on radical Islam, and includes some veteran insiders who might be able to help Cruz build bridges back to the Republican establishment as the primary enters a tense home stretch.

Watching former Speaker of the House John Boehner stagger around, referring to Ted Cruz as the Devil and announcing his endorsement for non-candidate Paul Ryan as President, is a great reminder that this election isn’t really about Donald Trump.

In a recent interview with Breitbart News Daily, political strategist Pat Caddell said his polling had uncovered an “economic nationalism” movement, deeply suspicious of free-trade orthodoxy, that was far larger than anyone previously suspected.  He credited this movement with propelling the unexpected

“There should be some prize for the most creative attempt to write about Trump without mentioning immigration,” David Frum suggested Tuesday on Twitter. That would be a lively contest, but it might be even more fun to give out prizes to the deluded pundits who write about Marco Rubio without mentioning immigration as a principal reason for his fast-sinking political career.

Political strategist Pat Caddell tells Breitbart News Daily host Stephen K. Bannon about what he describes as the “stunning” emergency of “economic nationalism” as the driving force behind both the Republican primary race, and the Bernie Sanders insurgency against Hillary Clinton.

Donald Trump postponed his Friday evening rally at the University of Illinois-Chicago due to safety concerns. The Trump campaign said that after meeting with law enforcement officials, Trump decided to postpone the event for the “safety of all the tens of thousands of people that have gathered in and around the area.” Pro-amnesty groups, Black Lives Matter organizers and other left-wing activists had been organizing to disrupt Trump’s rally for the last week.

There is much speculation about what Donald Trump’s nomination might do to the two distinct but entwined things — the Republican Party and the conservative movement.
