“If politicians think there are tipping points and the world hasn’t collapsed thus far, then it encourages policies that continue to degrade our world. If there isn’t a catastrophe so far, why worry?”
In the lead-up to a political cartoon and satire festival on Duke’s campus this fall, members of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists have agreed to let Campaign Stop republish their work. Today’s work is produced by the Charlotte Observer’s Kevin Siers, who joined the paper in 1987 and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning in 2014.
Veteran North Carolina political consultant Pope "Mac" McCorkle says he thinks the Republican National Convention, which started Monday, will highlight the importance of the state for Republicans in the fall race.
Sen. Tim Kaine may help Hillary Clinton win his important home state of Virginia, and other Southern states including North Carolina, says political scientist Kerry Haynie. But, he adds, Clinton needs to go with someone who is more liberal to satisfy the Sanders-Warren wing.
A truck driven into the crowds at a festival in Nice, France, killed more than 80 people Thursday and is suspected to be the third major terrorist attack in France in 19 months. In this Q&A with Duke Today, Duke professor David Schanzer, director of the Triangle Center on Terrorism and Homeland Security, says while terrorism is a global threat, there are reasons why France is particularly at risk.
Donald Trump’s campaign seems to be doing little to counter Hillary Clinton’s attacks on his business practices – and she’s recruiting North Carolina surrogates to spread the message in this battleground state. “For (Trump) to not really have a campaign up and running in North Carolina at this stage is quite troubling,” says political scientist Kerry Haynie.
The current ideological positioning of the two major parties leaves little room for a third-party option, says political science professor John Aldrich.
