Hillary Clinton - page 186

Like Hillary Clinton, Bill Nelson says he’d rather carry just one phone

in Top Headlines by

One of the biggest criticisms coming out of Hillary Clinton’s press conference on Tuesday was her admission that she opted to use a personal email account during her time as secretary of state because, “I thought it would be easier to carry just one device for my work and for my personal emails instead of two.” That comment led many observers to note that you can actually have two email accounts on one smartphone. But Bill Nelson understands where Clinton is coming…

Rick Wilson in Politico: Let Hillary do the talking

in Top Headlines by

Rick Wilson‘s reputation is that of somebody who minces few words. The Clintons, on the other hand, inhabit an elite echelon of world-historical prevaricators. In that spirit, Wilson served up a stiff dose of what he really thinks about the Hillary Clinton email “scandal,” such as it is, in Sunday’s POLITICO –– along with some pointed thoughts on how Republicans can best make hay out of it. After eagerly cheerleading Barack Obama for eight years, [the press] stood ready to help break the…

NRCC obsession with Gwen Graham and ‘brass in her pocket’

in Statewide/Top Headlines by

This is funny. Chris Pack obviously doesn’t know me and/or much about rookie U.S. Rep. Gwen Graham. Then again, I should have realized back when people threw beer cans at me during my stand-up comedy phase in college that I do humor like Andy Kaufman – a few get my jokes, but most are bewildered.

It’s been written about ad nauseum about the lack of a strong Democratic bench in Florida. That certainly was the case in 2014, when the party had to resort to a flawed former Republican to become their gubernatorial nominee against an equally flawed current Republican. And that’s why Bob Buckhorn began raising campaign funds for a 2018 bid for governor in December, three months before his (inevitable) re-election victory for four (or three and a half?) more years as Tampa’s mayor.…

Gwen Graham’s silence on Hillary Clinton emails is deafening

in Top Headlines by

We’ve gone about a week without hearing from anyone about North Florida rookie U.S. Rep. Gwen Graham when our mailbox lit up with a message from the NRCC. It is questioning Graham’s silence on questions about Hillary Clinton’s email account. CNN is reporting that everyone in Washington is talking about Clinton’s emails except Democrats. The former secretary of state apparently set up a private email server, shielding her communications from the public eye. And CNN reports on a variety of maneuvers congressional…

Scott Walker & Jeb Bush top the field in new GOP national presidential poll

in Top Headlines by

A new Quinnipiac poll released today shows that Scott Walker and Jeb Bush continue to stand above the rest in the early going of the 2016 GOP presidential field. Walker comes in at 18 percent and Bush follows with 16 percent in the national poll released Thursday morning. Then it’s a big drop, with New Jersey Gov. Christopher Christie and former Arkansas Gov.
