Declassified

Eli Lake and Josh Rogin: "The=Obama administration wants its relationship with Israel to move past the I=an deal, to start talks on how to counter Iran's influence in the region. =ut the Israeli government won't have that discussion while there is still = slim chance Congress can kill the deal."

2016 Elections

Jonathan Bernstein: "Everythi=g we know about presidential nominations screams that Trump has no chance =f winning the Republicans' nod -- and that Hillary Clinton has the Democra=ic nomination sewn up. As evidence, let's look again at how the process wo=ks and how polls can be misleading." <= href="http://link.mail.bloombergview.com/55086a4c3b35d051538c37cc2w0kd.=56/VbpLo0mOfYTHZJlPBadd9" style="text-decoration:none;color:#00b9e7;line=height:1.6em">Read more...
