Jeff Deist and Allen Mendenhall discuss the aftermath of Donald Trump's surprising presidential victory.

Will Donald Trump's election lead to a more laissez-faire regime? That remains to be seen.

US general elections are not "the great equalizer." They are designed in such a way that some voters have more influence than others.

Trump's upset win provides no mandate and does not translate into any general approval for the candidate's agenda.

With legalization in California now underway, one in five Americans can legally buy and use marijuana in their home states.

America's success stems from its limitation of state power. Unfortunately, it's not clear that Donald Trump realizes this.

We must resist those who are preaching "interventionism-lite" and calling it a real alternative.

The states control over deciding who drives and how becomes a lot less relevant in a world of autonomous cars.

Close elections are decided not by counting votes but by lawsuits and judges. But, we'll then be told it's the will of "the people."
