April 21, 2015 Buck Banks

The deck is stacked in their favor. My job is to reshuffle the cards.

— Hillary Clinton, quoted by the New York Times, on the nation’s wealthiest citizens.

— Donald Trump, quoted by the Washington Post, talking about Carly Florina.

Hillary Talks About What GOP Is Talking About

I think it’s worth noting that Republicans seem to be talking only about me. I don’t know what they’d talk about if I weren’t in the race.

— Hillary Clinton, quoted by Politico.

— Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R), continuing to “signal his increasing interest in running for president Sunday, saying he’s waiting for a signal from God before making the call,” Politico reports.

Number of people who have signed up for Florida Health Choices, the Obamacare alternative health insurance plan devised by Sen. Marco Rubio (R) back in 2008 but only rolled out last year. “Obamacare, which Rubio wants to repeal, covers 1.6 million in Florida alone,” according to Politico, which adds that Rubio doesn’t mention his plan as part of his presidential platform.

hillarysite — It’s a bad sign that the only way into Clinton’s campaign site is with a log in. If you’re on the fence about the candidate and just want more information, how likely are you to register with her site? I’m on her side, and I don’t even want to register for her site. This “Supporters Only” stance won’t turn out the vote.

Hating their guy (or gal) never makes up for not loving ours

If you’re fired up at the prospect of Hillary Clinton’s campaign for president and what it means for Democrats, you’ll want to skip this post. I don’t want to ruin your day with something none of us can do anything about. It’s not as if we can conjure up another Barack Obama or John F. Kennedy or even an Angela Merkel by closing our eyes and wishing.

We’re stuck with HRC, and here’s why I feel a sense of impending doom for our team:

No one loves Hillary.

87

Number of Democratic lawmakers who have endorsed Hillary Clinton’s 2016 run for president, The Hill reports. “Sixty House lawmakers, just under one-third of the 188 Democrats in the chamber, and 27 senators, nearly 60 percent of the upper chamber’s 46 Democrats, are in the former secretary of state’s camp. The early tally nearly equals the 93 endorsements she picked up in her 2008 presidential bid.”

— Vice President JD Vance, on Fox News.

“Your generation has a great bullshit meter, because you’re fed bullshit online all day. And the Democratic Party brand right now is so bullshit.”
