The Hillary Clinton campaign likes to spin away her troubles saying that the New York Times and Washington Post stories don’t resonate anywhere else. We checked and they’re wrong.

Vinnie Gentile seriously can’t catch a break. In addition to everything else that has plagued his campaign from day one, he failed to get an endorsement from a Brooklyn Democrat club. That’s right folks, a Brooklyn Democrat club has refused to endorse a Brooklyn Democrat. The group endorsed the Green Party candidate instead.
Take a look at their scathing words for Gentile:
“Southern Brooklyn Democrats is proud to endorse James Lane in the CD 11 race. Mr. Lane isn’t a career politician; he’s a member of our community who deeply cares about the interests of the people and representing us. It’s long overdue that this district was represented by someone who is ‘by the people, for the people,’ and not some sleazy criminal or party hack. On Tuesday, May 5th, vote James Lane!”
This penchant for secrecy is a disturbing character flaw, one that threatens to keep [Hillary Clinton] from the White House. Will Clinton promise not to accept foreign donations during her campaign, or at least fully disclose them? Should we believe her this time? And how would she deal with potential conflicts of interest as President?
We’ve heard enough excuses. Now she owes answers.
In a competitive Democrat primary for Iowa’s 1st Congressional District, former SNL cast member Gary Kroeger has declared his support for a carbon tax:
“I support a carbon tax as a simpler and more transparent way to control dangerous carbon dioxide. Because certain carbon intensive industries create this negative outcome, a tax will encourage cleaner alternatives and the revenue raised could be used to subsidize those alternatives as well as to repair damage caused by pollutants.”
Where do his fellow progressive challengers Monica Vernon and Ravi Patel stand on the expensive carbon tax?
Hillary Clinton just wrote an op-ed in the Des Moines Register – but there’s a LOT she forgot to mention. We made some necessary annotations. Check them out HERE.
A quiet, “low-key” visit to New Hampshire turned into a political
quagmire for Hillary Clinton last week. While Clinton wanted to focus on
her tightly-scripted and controlled events with “everyday Americans”
(translation: highly-vetted Democratic activists), all
anyone else wanted to talk about was pay-to-play allegations involving
Clinton’s time at the State Department and the Bill, Hillary, and
Chelsea Clinton Foundation.
Clinton’s camp was hoping for positive headlines during her inaugural
trip to the home of the all important First In The Nation primary, but
the editorials from key regional outlets show she got anything but.
Eighteen months before Election Day, Democrats are publicly and privately attacking one another’s credibility and viability in Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio, Maryland, Nevada, and Illinois.
As Roll Call’s Nathan Gonzales reported this morning, the DSCC is doing its best to tamp down these would-be challengers to the Party establishment’s preferred candidate, but that’s not stopping candidates from jumping in.
The news keeps getting worse for Vincent Gentile as the Brooklyn Democrat vies for a chance to represent a Staten Island-based New York City congressional seat. Fundraising numbers just came out and show Gentile raised a paltry $195,000… more than $400,000 less than his opponent.
The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jonathan Tamari reports that Congressman Joe Sestak’s campaign raised a paltry $312,000 in the first quarter of 2015.
Tamari writes:
Joe Sestak, the Democrat trying to unseat Sen. Pat Toomey (R., Pa.), raised about $312,000 in the first three months of 2015, a relatively small amount for a candidate hoping to win what promises to be an expensive statewide race next year.
Sestak’s campaign has declined in recent days to disclose its fund-raising totals, though a public filing obtained by the Inquirer shows the amounts.
This comes after a poll revealed Sestak, who ran statewide and lost in 2010, is completely unknown by 63 percent of the state’s voting population.
