‘There was a collapse of the youth vote. The African-American vote held fairly steady and was remarkable… we had a little bit of a loss of the Hispanic vote perhaps because the president didn’t sign an order on executive action on immigration reform.”
— Bill Clinton, quoted by Politico, on the results of the 2014 midterm elections.
“Bill and I are going to have to have some interesting things to talk about. Look, I’ll still like him when Jeb beats Hillary.”
— Former President George W. Bush, quoted by Business Insider, on his brother’s potential 2016 presidential campaign.
“Bill and Hillary Clinton were the most sought after surrogates in the Democratic Party this year. He campaigned for more than 47 candidates. She for more than 26. Supporters estimate that, together, the Clintons headlined 75 rallies and fundraisers — and logged roughly 50,000 miles jetting from state to state,” BuzzFeed reports.
“When the Clintons travel, they fly private. This year, their airfare cost candidates at least $699,000, available state and federal campaign finance reports show.”
