Paul—who’s wearing jeans and a collar-less tee-shirt emblazoned with “DETROIT REPUBLICAN”—kills the tax code three different ways: He lights it on fire, chops it up with a chainsaw and throws it in the wood chipper. Paul kills the tax code on camera in the different ways as a metallic rock-style guitar plays the national anthem. Paul rolled the video out on Fox News with anchor Bill Hemmer on Tuesday morning.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is catching fire again on the campaign trail as the national conversation shifts to social and national security issues ranging from marriage to abortion to immigration to President Barack Obama’s nuclear arms deal with Iran and other national security matters.

Businessman Donald Trump surged into the lead for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, with almost twice the support of his closest rival, just as he ignited a new controversy after making disparaging remarks about Sen. John McCain’s Vietnam War service, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

It came slightly ahead of schedule, but Donald Trump’s inevitable self-immolation arrived on the weekend when he assailed John McCain’s war record. The question now is how long his political and media apologists on the right will keep pretending he’s a serious candidate.

“I think it was fantastic because it called attention to a very, very important issue,” Ron Paul said in an interview at a fundraiser in Houston for his son’s presidential campaign that many members of the Paul family—whose home is just an hour from here in Lake Jackson, Texas—attended. “It hit a chord because it helped wake up the American people. I think it was great and that kind of stuff goes a long way.”

Mere hours after Fox News’ Sean Hannity pressed Walker on his Super PAC’s decision to bring the highly controversial GOP establishment hit man aboard their team—in which Walker threw Dayspring to the wolves, refusing to defend him—Walker was pressed yet again on the anti-conservative hire by Boston-area radio host Howie Carr.

“Let me ask you about a hire of yours that has angered conservatives, it’s come up a lot in the news—Brent Bozell talks about Brad Dayspring as someone who besmirches the reputations of conservatives, that he’s paid to do the ugly work—do you pay attention to any of that, those criticisms?” Hannity asked Walker. “Well, he doesn’t work for me, he works for the Super PACs out there and by ‘he doesn’t work for me’ I can’t tell any Super PACs anything,” Walker replied amid crosstalk.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), a 2016 Republican presidential candidate, offered no policy specifics whatsoever in a speech to Freedom Fest here at Planet Hollywood filled with rhetoric—and skipped off the stage without conducting a previously-agreed-to question-and-answer

Republican presidential candidate Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) raked in an impressive more than $7 million in the last Federal Election Commission (FEC) fundraising quarter which includes receipts through the joint fundraising committee, his campaign told Breitbart News exclusively.

The made-for-show-business showdown between the rising star of the Washington, D.C. GOP establishment and the controversial populist insurgent marks what might be the biggest ideological rivalry inside the Republican Party in the 2016 cycle. Trump, a bombastic flamethrower, has hammered Rubio-style Republicans for their support for amnesty for illegal aliens while not wanting jobs to first go to unemployed and struggling Americans. Rubio and his allies in the establishment of the party, on the other hand, have argued that Trump’s harsh rhetoric is not good for the Republican Party.

Now 11-time New York Times bestselling Ann Coulter is calling out former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney for attacking Donald Trump over immigration.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee didn’t attack fellow 2016 GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump over immigration, despite a claim by the Huffington Post that he did.

Rubio joined Democrats and liberals—as well as most of the mainstream media—in attacking Trump for calling out international criminals who exploit America’s weak and insecure border to get into the United States of America illegally.

“Their hypocrisy is absolutely stunning,” Jindal said when asked about how the ACLU’s website, and their legal argument history, is filled with defenses of religious liberty.

Under pressure from Hispanic groups, NBC severed all ties with Republican presidential contender Donald Trump on Monday, and according to a report, the network is specifically eyeing minority candidates to replace him on Celebrity Apprentice.

An exclusive excerpt from a new book by 2016 GOP presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), obtained by Breitbart News, shows that Cruz detailed how GOP establishment operative Karl Rove told him he thought former President George H.W. Bush was “too old” to have good enough judgment to make endorsements on his own.

Republican presidential candidate and real estate magnate Donald Trump tells Breitbart News exclusively that he has no plans whatsoever to back down in the face of Univision—on behalf of the Mexican government—targeting him after he’s exposed trade deals and immigration problems that benefit Mexico and harm the United States.

It’s unclear how things will go for Jindal, but he could be the sleeper candidate who’s waited until just the right time to get off to the races. Watch this guy. He might just do something incredible.

Rubio, a Republican presidential candidate, was the deciding vote necessary for the U.S. Senate to clear the final 60-vote threshold and eventually, later this week, send to President Barack Obama’s desk the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) bill that would fast-track at least three highly secretive trade deals that Obama has been negotiating for years.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), in the second part of his most recent exclusive interview with Breitbart News on the 2016 presidential race, discussed his most recent book Taking A Stand: Moving Beyond Partisan Politics to Unite America.

Paul also said he thinks what positions him best against Clinton is that his campaign launch—which started in Kentucky and had four more events in New Hampshire, South Carolina, Iowa then Nevada—was presidential.

NEW YORK CITY, New York — Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton re-launched her 2016 presidential campaign on Roosevelt Island in New York City on Saturday, and during the event—and lead-up to it—Clinton showed her presidential campaign’s strength and her resilience as a politician.

Today on his show, Howie Carr featured a Gravis Marketing poll in New Hampshire that has Jeb Bush up big at 21%, with Rand Paul and Scott Walker both trailing with 13% and Donald Trump right on their heels at 12%.

It’s a big move by Bush’s team, and a clear sign he’s making efforts to win back conservative voters and make inroads party-wide rather than just winning the establishment side of the primaries. Diaz has a long-standing positive reputation with tons of top conservatives, and has been plugged in with not just establishment Republicans but conservatives Washington-wide for years.

Republican presidential candidates acted as if two bomb threats on Saturday never happened.

MERRIMACK, New Hampshire — Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is opening fire on Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and everyone else who backed or is backing Obamatrade without reading the text of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) that Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) would fast track.
