Pam Bondi cheers on “Lock her up” chant to Hillary Clinton in RNC speech

in 2017 by

Coming out to the stage by declaring her love for her native state, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi addressed the Republican National Convention on Wednesday night, where she said that a Donald Trump presidency would return the country to the rule of law that has been absent under the past eight years of the Barack Obama administration. “November 8 is a day of reckoning for all those who have abused their power,” she began, referring to Election Day. “It’s the day when we the people will…

Mitch Perry Report for 7.13.16 – Conservatism is still running strong, Jeb Bush insists

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Jeb Bush says whatever you want to call Donald Trump, don’t call him a conservative. “Conservatism is temporarily dead,” the former Florida Governor told Nicole Wallace on an MSNBC special that aired Monday night. “I mean, if you look at it, we have two candidates. Donald Trump is barely a Republican. He’s certainly not a conservative.” Bush makes the point, however, that while that might not matter much in the presidential sweepstakes, conservatism is still powerful across the country. “I…

in The Bay and the 'Burg by

Last night in Santa Monica, Bernie Sanders called Hillary Clinton‘s decision not to debate him in California “insulting” to the voters in the Golden State. “A number of months ago our campaign and her campaign reached an agreement on a number of debates, including one here in California,” Sanders told the crowd, according to a release issued by the Sanders campaign overnight. He added that it was “insulting to the people of California — our largest state — that she is not prepared…

Appearing on MSNBC with Steve Kornacki on Wednesday afternoon, Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz refused to once again acknowledge whether or not she would engage in a debate with her Democratic congressional opponent, Tim Canova. “I’m focused on two things,” she said when Kornacki initially brought up Canova’s campaign. “One, continuing to serve my constituents that have given me the privilege of representing them to the best of my ability, and making sure that when I run for…

Mitch Perry Report for 5.3.16 – Only six more months of hearing about Hillary vs.The Donald – every day

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Well today’s the Indiana primary, and aren’t you all excited about that? I didn’t think so. A CNN/ORC poll released  yesterday shows that more than eight of ten Americans believe Hillary Clinton will challenge Donald Trump for president in November. That was taken before Indiana votes today, or Nebraska next week, or California and New Jersey next month. But it’s still more fun to talk about a contested convention than start talking everyday about a Hillary vs. Donald confrontation, since that’s still…

David Jolly says ideally he’d like to ban all TV political advertising

in Uncategorized by

David Jolly says that he asked Patrick Murphy and Alan Grayson that if they co-sponsored his legislation banning federal officeholders from directly soliciting campaign contributions, he would have been content if they continued to fundraise, even possibly against him this fall. “I took the pledge in January. I no longer directly solicit money,” the Pinellas County GOP Congressman and senate candidate said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. “But I’d beg my Democratic opponents in this race: co-sponsor it, and I’ll get your back, and say you don’t…

It was on May 8, 2008, after the returns from Democratic primary results from North Carolina and Indiana had come in, when the late Tim Russert told viewers that the intense battle between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton was over. “We now know who the Democratic nominee’s going to be, and no one’s going to dispute it,” he said on MSNBC shortly after midnight Eastern time. “Those closest to her will give her a hardheaded analysis, and if they lay…
