Clinton Says Gutsiest Thing She’s Done Is Stay Married

October 1, 2019 at 12:00 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Hillary Clinton said that she believes the “gutsiest” thing she ever did outside of public life was deciding to stay married to former President Bill Clinton, Politico reports.

The candid remark from Clinton came during an appearance with her daughter, Chelsea Clinton, to promote their new book, The Book of Gutsy Women.

When posed the same question, Chelsea Clinton appeared caught off guard: “Oh, goodness, I think I’m so overwhelmed by my mother’s answer that I’m a bit out of words.”

Clinton Did Not Intend to Close Door on 2020 Bid

March 6, 2019 at 12:00 pm EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Although Hillary Clinton told News 12 Westchester that she is not running for president in 2020, the New York Times now reports that Clinton actually “wasn’t trying to be emphatic and close the door on running” and “was surprised by how definitively it played.”

Clinton is “bothered” that people expect her to definitively rule out another bid and that she’s “waiting at least to see the Mueller report” before she formally does so.

Iciness Between Bernie and Hillary

March 4, 2019 at 12:55 pm EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Washington Post: “The interaction between Sanders and Clinton — their first since they faced off in a sometimes-bitter 2016 Democratic primary — was frosty. While Clinton gave Cory Booker an effusive hug, the exchange with Sanders was brief; as he passed by quickly, she reached out and initiated a terse hello.”

Quote of the Day

February 26, 2019 at 8:26 am EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“I’ve had so many guys who did business with him in real estate say you know he’d have a $15 million dollar profit from a real estate deal which he would call $150 million and then he would call everybody and beg them not to contradict the press because he was going to tell them it was 150 million not 15 million. That’s how he sees negotiations. So if he can put lipstick on a pig and he can say OK this is what we’re going to do with North Korea. And he keeps saying it over and over again and Fox News says it over and over again and other outlets say it over and over again.  And the so-called mainstream media does their both sides ism. Well he said this but then somebody else says that he wins the news he wins the news cycle.”

— Hillary Clinton, in an interview with Tina Brown, on President Trump’s negotiating style.

January 28, 2019 at 11:37 am EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Hillary Clinton has been telling friends she has not totally closed the door on a 2020 campaign, CNN reports.

However, another close Clinton friend said that “it would surprise me greatly if she actually did it.”

The Clintons on Tour

December 2, 2018 at 11:44 am EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Maureen Dowd: “I’m looking around Scotiabank Arena, the home of the Toronto Maple Leafs, and it’s a depressing sight. It’s two-for-the-price-of-one in half the arena. The hockey rink is half curtained off, but even with that, organizers are scrambling at the last minute to cordon off more sections behind thick black curtains, they say due to a lack of sales. I paid $177 weeks in advance. (I passed on the pricey meet-and-greet option.) On the day of the event, some unsold tickets are slashed to single digits.”

“I get reassigned to another section as the Clintons’ audience space shrinks. But even with all the herding, I’m still looking at large swaths of empty seats — and I cringe at the thought that the Clintons will look out and see that, too.”

Trump Sought to Prosecute Clinton and Comey

November 20, 2018 at 5:43 pm EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“President Trump told the White House counsel in the spring that he wanted to order the Justice Department to prosecute two of his political adversaries: his 2016 challenger, Hillary Clinton, and the former F.B.I. director James Comey,” the New York Times reports.

“The lawyer, Donald McGahn, rebuffed the president, saying that he had no authority to order a prosecution. Mr. McGahn said that while he could request an investigation, that too could prompt accusations of abuse of power.”

Clinton Sends Mixed Signals on 2020 Bid

October 29, 2018 at 8:24 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“Hillary Clinton appeared to leave the door open to another presidential bid during comments made during a podcast taped over the weekend,” the Washington Post reports.

“Asked by Recode’s Kara Swisher about a 2020 bid, Clinton initially said ‘no’ and then paused, before saying ‘no’ again. But after Swisher noted the pause, Clinton didn’t sound so sure.”

Said Clinton: “Well, I’d like to be president. I think, hopefully, when we have a Democrat in the Oval Office in January of 2021, there’s going to be so much work to be done.”

Texas Votes to Remove Hillary Clinton from History Books

September 15, 2018 at 12:39 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

As part of an effort to “streamline” the social studies curriculum in public schools, the Texas Board of Education “voted Friday to adjust what students in every grade are required to learn in the classroom. Among the changes, board members approved the removal of several historical figures, including Hillary Clinton and Helen Keller, from the curriculum,” the Dallas Morning News reports.

“The board also voted to keep in the curriculum a reference to the ‘heroism’ of the defenders of the Alamo, which had been recommended for elimination, as well as Moses’ influence on the writing of the nation’s founding documents, multiple references to ‘Judeo-Christian’ values and a requirement that students explain how the ‘Arab rejection of the State of Israel has led to ongoing conflict’ in the Middle East.”
