HUFFPOST HILL - Congress Poisoned By Partisanship, Actual Poison
The average GOP “Young Gun” is quite old, but they won’t seem so long in the tooth once they take office and we raise the retirement age to 75. The Cannon House Office Building has lead-tainted water, so lawmakers have had to switch back to drinking children's tears. And the Trump Institute squeezed money out of its enrollees, stole other people’s ideas and provided students no useful skills — though we’re pretty sure that’s what most undergraduate programs do. This is HUFFPOST HILL for Wednesday, June 29th, 2016:
HILLARY MAYBE NOT LIKEABLE ENOUGH, WHITE HOUSE WORRIES - News cycles are a flat circle. Edward-Isaac Dovere: "Concerned that Hillary Clinton is still struggling to generate excitement, President Barack Obama is preparing to campaign for her by reminding voters there was a time he didn't like her so much, but he came around — and they should too. That’s the only way, Obama and aides working with him think, that she’ll have the positive mandate she’ll need to govern. Winning the White House by just not being Trump won’t help win House and Senate races, and it won’t give her the support she needs if and when she’s the new president, trying to keep the public and Congress behind her agenda…'The way the president sees it is: there will be a lot of people out there talking about Donald Trump—there's more than enough material,' [Jen] Psaki said. 'He will do that too. But he wants to spend most of his time making the strong, optimistic case for the country under a future President Clinton, and why she presents the best case to be his successor.'" [Politico]
