This issue of The Weekly Standard examined the 2016 presidential race and contemporary political debates through multiple lenses. Noemie Emery's cover story drew a historical parallel between Alexander Hamilton's opposition to Aaron Burr and the emerging #NeverTrump movement, while Jonathan Bronitsky challenged claims about environmental racism in Flint, Michigan. The magazine also featured Jonathan V. Last's analysis of Trump's frontrunner status, Fred Barnes on the Republican party's need to appeal to working-class voters, and Terry Eastland's retrospective on Justice Scalia's influential dissent on independent counsel law.
