NICK NOVAK: Can Wisconsin’s Scott Walker end Trump’s run in primary?

In most presidential primary elections, the Wisconsin electorate has relatively little to do with determining the Republican nominee. By the time the Badger State came around in 2008, John McCain had all but wrapped up the nomination, and Mitt Romney had a similar experience in 2012.

NICK NOVAK: The case against political correctness is not the case for Donald Trump

Donald Trump seems like he could be a breath of fresh air. He says what's on his mind. He isn't afraid to offend anyone. He knows how to give a speech full of red meat. And allegedly, he knows how to make America great again. Here is the problem. He doesn't know how to make America great again. The only thing he knows how to do is make Donald Trump great again.

NICK NOVAK: Taxing the rich won’t solve our problems

I'm sure many of you saw the clip from Neil Cavuto's show the other week where the leader of the Million Student March, Keely Mullen, said we need to tax the top 1 percent of earners more. At one point, she even suggested taxing them at a rate of 90 percent.

NICK NOVAK: Medicaid expansion bad for taxpayers, patients, GOP hopefuls

At a campaign stop in Florida a couple days ago, Hillary Rodham Clinton didn't focus on her "mistake" of using a private email server to send classified information as Secretary of State or the fact that nearly two-thirds of the country thinks she is neither honest nor trustworthy.

NICK NOVAK: Tax reform needed for all, not just a few

I wrote a column for this paper in the spring that said I would not hold my breath while waiting for much-needed comprehensive tax reform. And it was a good thing I didn't, because my face would be awfully blue by now.

NICK NOVAK: Medicare, Medicaid in need of major reforms after 50 years

On July 30, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed a bill into law that created the federal Medicare and Medicaid programs. While both started with good intent, the past 50 years have left the American public with two massive entitlements that are in dire need of reform.

NICK NOVAK: School Choice Week: a reminder we need more options

No parent should be left without any options but to move to a different district. That is why policymakers should listen to the students, teachers and families that are calling for greater educational options during School Choice Week.
