...Ronald Reagan's at the end of his term. Most of these things, though, are simply extensions of programs Clinton has proposed for years, and it remains to be seen whether there's that much left to spend when the calculation of the budget surplus is less optimistic."

Further, if both party nominations are resolved early, we'll probably be in for the spectacle of four months of campaign coverage devoted primarily to the Trump-Buchanan race for the Reform party nomination, a dialogue that could...
