Today the Candidates, Tomorrow the Voters Super Tuesday or Tsunami Tuesday amounts to a national primary, the first of its kind in American history. With just hours remaining before the biggest caucus and primary day in American history, presidential candidates are racing around the country. In both parties, they're competing for almost half the convention delegates needed for nomination, spread from big blue states to numerous red ones. We touch down in the Far West, Southwest, Midwest, the Deep South and the East Coast and hear how the war, the economy, healthcare and immigration are helping or hurting Democrats and Republicans. Will Super Tuesday be decisive for either party?

But the President failed to provide what 27 other Alliance members have been waiting for: a re-commitment by America’s new leader to Article 5. Instead, they got a scolding.

Ex-FBI Director Comey tells his side of the story Today, former FBI Director James Comey came close to calling the President who fired him a liar. The White House denied the claim and called it insulting, but Republican Senators did not challenge Comey’s truthfulness. Many questions remain: did the President try to obstruct a federal investigation? Later, we’ll go behind the “velvet rope” for a look at 5-Star health care for the richest Americans.

Replacing Obamacare: Now you see it… now you don’t As the Senate deliberates replacing Obmacare, health coverage for millions of people is at stake.
