2015 Begins with Promises and Perils in US Politics
The new year opens with questions on GOP governance, Obama administration tactics, and the 2016 election. Key issues include Senate cooperation on budgets, immigration actions, Supreme Court nominees, and the balance between establishment and insurgent Republican candidates led by Paul, Cruz, and Rubio. Clinton faces potential rivals like O Malley and Webb, shaping the race for the White House two years hence.
