From The Reporter’s Notebook
During an interview with CNN, former presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) said his time running for office is most likely not over, TPM’s Sara Jerde reported. When asked if would be running president or any other elected position he said it was safe to assume he would. “Yes, I — I think that’s a safe assumption,” Rubio said. “But I don’t know where I’m going to be in two years. I mean check back in two years.”
Agree or Disagree?
TPM Reader PN: “On the Gawker site, the most popular—I don’t say best–defense appears to be that ‘outing’ Thiel was beyond the pale—so the suit accomplishes belated justice (that’s dubious in itself). Setting aside whether an outing actually happened or what prevailing ethical/journalistic standards are, I think Thiel’s time at Stanford (overlapping mine) bears renewed scrutiny.”
Say What?!
“Neither one of these candidates is likely to get a big wet kiss from the American public.”
– Mitch McConnell expressed concern for the way the presidential election is going.
BUZZING: Today in the Hive
From a TPM Prime member: “When I speak of DWS being a failure…it goes back YEARS. She has exhibited bad judgment at every turn, been in charge of the party when it got its hat handed to them in what should have been good years for democrats. She also represents a wing of the party that is out of touch and out of favor of the majority of the party. I think that in and of itself says she needs to go. At this point its still up in the air whether she wins her own seat in the FL primary (I hope she doesnt).”
