Virginia Del.

Invoking Monica Lewinsky against Hillary Clinton could be an appropriate tactic should she decide to pursue the familiar 'War on Women' attack on Republicans in 2016, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough suggested on Monday.

"If Hillary Clinton attacks the Republican Party's handling of women, and treatment of women and disrespect for women, and suggests they’re misogynists et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, it does seem to be a fair question to ask right now, a few years out, does the media have a responsibility to say, ‘Well, let’s see what happened when you were in the White House, and how women were treated when you were in the governor’s mansion and the White House?’ Is that fair?" the 'Morning Joe' host asked Monday morning, as quoted by Mediaite.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) thinks President Obama should apologize to Americans who lost their health insurance during his State of the Union address on Tuesday.

"For the State of the Union, one of the things President Obama really ought to do is look in the TV camera and say to the over five million Americans all across this country who've had their health insurance canceled because of Obamacare, to look in the camera and say, "I'm sorry. I told you if you like your health insurance plan, you can keep it,'" Cruz said on CBS' "Face the Nation" Sunday.
