Here are a few national and Virginia news headlines, political and otherwise, for Sunday, March 20.
- Republican Leaders Map a Strategy to Derail Trump (“If aggressive efforts to deny Donald J. Trump the presidential nomination fail, party leaders say they will try to field an independent candidate for the general election.”)
- Trump Didn’t Put the Con in Conservatism (“Ryan has been playing a con game in which he uses magic asterisks to mask a reverse Robin Hood agenda — take from the poor, give to the rich — as deficit hawkery.” Ryan is a pathological liar and Ayn Randian extremist.
