I think the debate answers from the Democratic debate were also supposed to be posted.

Yeah, I'd like to know who won the debate (probably wasn't Warren, honestly-it wasn't my best performance).

How much money are Rubio, Paul and Pearcy taking in, given how many ads they are releasing (especially Rubio)?

[NewYorkExpress]

How much money are Rubio, Paul and Pearcy taking in, given how many ads they are releasing (especially Rubio)?

From fundraisings and donations all over the country.

How much money are Rubio, Paul and Pearcy taking in, given how many ads they are releasing (especially Rubio)?

From my millions of supporters around the country.

How much money are Rubio, Paul and Pearcy taking in, given how many ads they are releasing (especially Rubio)?

Pearcy is running a grassroots campaign and KISS is raising money for his campaign

Thanks for the info... curiosity was bugging me that's all.

Elizabeth Warren Concession Speech


About twenty minutes ago, I called Senator Sanders to congratulate him on his primary victory here. We fought long and hard, but it simply wasn't enough for victory. But make no mistake about it. We will win the nomination, break up the big banks, fix our broken policies in the Middle East, by reviewing our relationships with Saudi Arabia and other regional allies who support terrorist ideology, and protect the rights of all Americans, man, woman and child.

Speech in Fernley, Nevada (With Harry Reid and Catharine Cortez Masto)

I'm appalled that Senator Sanders and Senator Paul have seen the need to seek endorsements from Nigel Farage and Jeremy Corbyn respectively. It seems like a quid pro quo is afoot, with Farage and Corbyn getting support from Paul and Sanders in exchange for their endorsements. I will never seek support from International politicians, and I will never seek a quid pro quo from members of other governments.

Speech in Andrews, Texas (With Julian Castro)

Hillary Clinton's actions in using a private e-mail server were idiotic, and something I will make sure none of my cabinet members, nor I will do when I am president. However, unlike what Mr. Pearcy and Senator Paul are saying, it is not treason. There is no evidence she willingly gave away diplomatic secrets to any foreign power, and I don't believe she would anyways. Hillary Clinton is not an idiot. She wouldn't throw her career and life away for a brief gain selling information.

Endorsements:

Elizabeth Warren:
Janice Hahn, The New York Times, NARAL, Andrew Cuomo, Jimmy Carter, Rush Holt, Ted Deutch and Mazie Hirono.


Marco Rubio:
Dennis Cook, Chairman of Young Republicans, endorse Marco Rubio because he's convinced that 44-year old Marco Rubio is the best Republican presidential candidate in this race to attract young voters and because Rubio understands the economic and social struggles of the Millennials.

Robert Bentley, Governor of Alabama,  endorse Marco Rubio due to shared views on social, economic and foreign policy issues and also due to their shared opposition to amnesty.

Dan Sullivan, Alaska Senator,  endorse Marco Rubio due to shared hawkish views.

Ron Corbett, Mayor of Cedar Rapids (Iowa), endorse Marco Rubio due to shared views on abortion, freedom of religion and gun rights.

Scott Taylor, Virginia congressman, endorse Marco Rubio due to shared views on foreign policy issues.

Susan Collins, Maine Senator, endorse Marco Rubio due to shared views on economic issues and foreign policy issues.

Phil Scott, candidate for Vermont Governor, endorse Marco Rubio due to shared views on economic issues and free trade.

Asa Hutchinson, Governor of Arkansas, endorse Marco Rubio due to shared views on economic and social issues.

Rob Wittman, Virginia congressman, endorses Marco Rubio due to shared views on economic and foreign policy issues.

Charlie Baker, Governor of Massachusetts, endorses Marco Rubio due to shared views on economic issues and their shared strong fiscal responsibility position.


Stephen Pearcy:
Frank Edelblut GOP Nevada senate  candidate,  Andrew Bacevich, Govenor of Guam Eddie Calvo,  Sean Duffy and a total surprise former Democratic senator from Virginia Jim Webb.


Bernie Sanders:
Governor John Bel Edwards of Louisiana: "I may be a Blue Dog,  but one thing I believe is that Sanders is speaking common sense on economics. We may disagree on social issues, but economics . . . well we agree 100%"

Senator Debbie Stabenow: "I'm from Michigan. I've seen what conservatove government has done to my state. If you want a President that will fight tooth and nail for the average America, then Senator Sanders is your candidate"

Lieutenant-Governor Gavin Newsom: "Jerry (Brown) has already endorsed him, and I can see why. Senator Sanders has proved that he is the candidate of the working class and middle class, and I will be proud to cast a ballot for him."

I'm pretty sure I have Newsom.

Yes, you do. THank you for catching that.

I didn't notice earlier, but I also have Stabenow...but I can sacrifice her if you think she fits Sanders better.

I thought the Colorado Republican caucuses were in April. Correct me if that's not the case.

According to this;

The GOP Colorado caucus is on Super Tuesday, but no Presidential Preference Vote is taken.

Al Gore at a rally in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina


Last time I was taught, the Senate's role was to advise and consent when appropriate. How are they supposed to consent when they're not even providing advice on whoever President Obama nominates to replace Justice Scalia? For all we know, he could pick a relative moderate like Brian Sandoval, and then where will you be? It's asinine to deny any nominee a hearing until a after a new President is sworn in too. What happens if Warren or Sanders wins? Are you going to deny their nominees hearings for four more years? Give Obama's nominee a vote and if you don't like him or her vote him or her down. That's what we did to Robert Bork, and it's what the proper procedure is for a nominee in the executive or judicial branch of government.

[NewYorkExpress]

Elizabeth Warren Concession Speech

The bad news is we didn't win, but we did keep the delegate race at a dead heat, and we have the lead in South Carolina! So, we're going to keep going! Obviously, Senator Sanders ran an excellent campaign, and I congratulate him for it, but at the end of this race, we will win the nomination!

Appearance on Hardball with Chris Matthews, from Jonesville, South Carolina

So Senator, you've lost two contests in a row. Is there a possibility of a shake-up in your campaign?
Well, technically, all three contests have been essentially draws, so I don't believe they have been true losses. We're even in pledged delegates now, so whoever wins South Carolina, and does better on Super Tuesday will be a long way towards being the nominee, and I still believe that will be me.

Just to be sure, is Garland officially nominated or can he still be blocked in Congress?

If you read what NHI posted, Obama nominated Garland, but McConnell and Senate Republicans (like Rubio, I assume) won't give him a hearing.

Warren Victory Speech

I want to congratulate Senator Sanders on his valiant effort in this primary. Ahead lies Super Tuesday, and if we want to win the majority of delegates we need your help! If we want to break up the big banks, fix our Middle Eastern policy, and pass single-payer health care, we need your help! We are going to win this nomination, and win the General Election in November!

February 28, 2016

Speech at the Toyota Center, Houston, Texas (With Al Gore)

So, it looks like we'll be facing Senator Rubio at this rate. This is a good matchup for us. Senator Rubio has issues relating to his far-right positions on a women's right to choose, on marriage equality, and on war and peace. He has issues dating back to his tenure in the Florida House of Representatives regarding a billing scandal involving a Florida Republican Party credit card account, that he spent $110,000 in two years, $16,000 of which was unrelated to party business, including groceries and plane trips. He is to the right of the American voter and has ethical issues. We can and will defeat him.

Speech at the Alamodome, San Antonio, Texas (With Julian Castro and Joaquin Castro)

Mark Cuban's still flirting with a Presidential bid. We know what he is. He's a rich plutocrat trying to buy the Oval Office, and we won't let him!

Speech at AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Texas (With Joe Biden)

I know Benjamin Netanyahu can be a pain in the tucchus, but that should not affect how we view Israel as partner in the Middle East. Remember, every country in the region, with the exception of Jordan and Egypt opposes making peace with Israel. The Palestinians are divided, between the mad bombers Hamas, and the only slightly less extreme PLA. And, Israel themselves are divided, with some elements, like Avidgor Lieberman, encouraging the derailing of the peace process. We must support those in Israel who want peace, and those in other countries who are willing to give peace a chance.

We did really well this past night, and I am proud of our efforts. I honor Senator Sanders for the work he has put in to this point, and I look forward to facing him in the future. However, we will emerge victorious with both the nomination and the Presidency, and break the highest glass ceiling for women in this country.

Just to remind you, NHI, that you forgot to color Texas in red on the Republican primary map.

You also forgot to include results for Democrats Abroad...though I assume Sanders won.

Speech at TD Ameritrade Ballpark, Omaha, Nebraska (With Chelsea Clinton)

With Senator Rubio as the likely Republican nominee, it's time to discuss our chances against him. He's an extremist who stands against a woman's right to choose what they want to do with their body, wants to reverse Obergefell vs Hodges, denying same-sex couples marriage rights and equal protection under the law, is a warmonger, and wants to eliminate Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. We can beat him, and we most certainly will.

March 4, 2016

Speech in Belle Chase, Louisiana (With Mary Landrieu)

It's appalling that Republicans in the Senate won't give Merrick Garland a hearing to become a Supreme Court Justice. Is it really that hard to vote no if you don't want him on the court? I seem to remember us Democrats doing that to Robert Bork back in 1987. But at least give Garland a hearing and an up or down vote.

Speech at Atwood Stadium, Flint, Michigan (With Jennifer Granholm)

The ongoing water crisis here in Flint can be laid at the feet of one man. Your Governor, Rick Snyder, and his desire to pursue a policy that denied the residents here of their right to clean water. It's worth noting that Flint here is a majority-minority city. Would this disaster be happening if the majority of it's residents were White? I don't think so, and as President, I will direct the Attorney General to begin prosecuting Governor Snyder, and any other officials responsible for this disaster.

Bernie Sanders has become a hypocrite, cozying up to big business in the form of Bill Gates, who you know, is the richest person in the world, and the former CEO of Microsoft. I know both Sanders and Gates said that no donations would be made to his campaign, but how many people actually believe that double-speak? I don't, and while I wish the stench of money was gone from politics, it is still here, and we shouldn't be hypocrites about it, talk one way, and act another.
