“As the titanic losses were racking up, Fannie Mae's operators, Franklin Raines and Jamie Gorelick, disguised the catastrophe by orchestrating a $5 billion accounting fraud - all the while continuing to pressure banks to make absurd, politically correct loans and denouncing Republicans as enemies of the poor.” LossPoorEnemyRepublicanPressureBillionsAbsurdFraudContinuingCatastropheLoanAccountingFranklinPolitically CorrectJamieOperatorsMae Author:Ann Coulter
“Hillary Clinton has a long track record of service in public life. And you can look at that. I tell the story about her being first lady of the United States, when the effort to get Hillary Clinton done failed, and that was a tough, tough, bitter loss, but then it tested her as a leader. And she worked together with Democrats and Republicans to get health insurance for eight million low-income American children in the CHIP program.” FirstsLooksChildrenLongStatesDoneStoriesTogetherLossUnitedEffortLeaderMillionsUnited StatesRecordsRepublicanLowsToughProgramClintonDemocratTrackEightIncomeBitterTestedChipsPublic LifeFirst LadyTrack RecordLow Income Author:Tim Kaine
“The people who are showing up [on the Republican National Convention ], either they are ones who actually believe in Donald Trump, or they think there's enough they care about, sort of keeping the party afloat and avoiding a sweeping loss in the centre of the house, they're going to show up and give him some kind of base.” PeopleThinkingGivingBelieveKindEnoughShowsCareHouseLossPartyTrumpRepublicanConventionsCentreAvoidingSweepingShowing Up Author:Mark Colvin
“Democrats are just as divided as Republicans these days. Embarrassed by their election losses, they are fighting over everything from their diagnosis of why Trump beat them in 2016 to how much to stake themselves on an oust-him-at-all-costs strategy now. Their internal battles may not be as sexy as the unprecedented hostile takeover of the GOP by an outsider president not beholden to it - yet they are just as consequential.” FightingPresidentLossRepublicanBattleElectionStrategyDemocratSexyOutsidersEmbarrassedGop Author:Susan Glasser

“The economic recession in America wasn’t caused by bad luck; it was caused by bad Republican policies. But the Republican candidates are doubling down on the same flawed policies that led to the loss of 3.6 million jobs in the final months of 2008 and gravely affected middle class families across America.” JobsAmericaLossClassMillionsEconomicMiddlePolicyMonthsRepublicanLuckFinalsCandidatesMiddle ClassAffectedFlawedRecessionsBad LuckMiddle Class FamilyEconomic Recession Author:Debbie Wasserman Schultz
