Sl> First Democratic Presidential Debate Had Adults On The Stage
The first Democratic debate showed the country what it is like to have
adults on a stage. It doesn't matter who "won." The candidates showed they
all are concerned about governing the country and proposing actual policies
that will help actual people have better lives. And they showed that we have
a serious and lively Democratic primary race in front of us. The country
will be the winner.
Debate Sharpens Contrasts
Clinton,
<http://caf.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=bW2uXVBEft4rtMRgEGRu%2Fs5F314q
BHSl> Sander spar over Wall Street reform. The Hill: "'Going to Wall Street
and saying "please stop" is very naive,' Sanders told Clinton during a
heated exchange about their regulatory policies . Clinton, in contrast,
argued that Glass-Steagall is the wrong policy prescription and wouldn't
have prevented the 2008 economic collapse. 'If only you look at the big
banks, you may be missing the forest for the trees. We've got to look at all
the other financial institutions,' Clinton said during the debate."
And
<http://caf.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=0e%2Bl0KYfFX25W14clMr0y85F314q
BHSl> capitalism. Time: "'Do I consider myself part of the casino capitalist
process by which so few have so much and so many have so little? . No I
don't.' . Clinton jumped in, saying: 'When I think about capitalism I think
about all the business that were started because we have the opportunity and
the freedom to do that and to make a good living for themselves and their
families.'"
Bernie
<http://caf.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=UYwyOMVbMoBfnkAnvodGcc5F314qBH
Sl> raises coin off debate. W. Post: "Sanders appears to have successfully
parlayed his most-talked about moment during the debate - telling Hillary
Rodham Clinton that 'the American people are sick and tired of talking about
your damn e-mail' - into a sharp uptick in donations."
Contrast
<http://caf.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=rOei01FyizMLGO2uczvbSEmcfNEoPI
Qe> between Dem and GOP debates stark. Politico's Mike Grunwald: ".the basic
stakes of the election are already clear. It will pit a Democrat who will
try to expand on Obama's policies, veto Republican legislation, and appoint
progressive Supreme Court justices against a Republican who will try to
dismantle Obama's policies, sign Republican legislation and appoint
conservative Supreme Court justices. Most of the rest will just be chatter."
Republican Dysfunction Threats Debt Limit
House
<http://caf.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=y7%2BVWtuQgw56nYnDpKIIEs5F314q
BHSl> chaos could thwart debt limit hike. The Hill: "'They are starting to
get more nervous . because of this void in leadership that no one really
knows whether and how it's going to get filled,' one lobbyist said of
colleagues on K Street and Wall Street. 'They're worried not about an
intentional decision to default, but just the mess of trying to figure out
who's going to lead and running out of time.'"
Paul
<http://caf.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=%2BaRLCZ4HuObBTRprC62GV85F314q
BHSl> Ryan doesn't want to sing for his supper. Bloomberg: "Republicans
imploring Paul Ryan to become U.S. House speaker are dangling a pledge that
he can skip the job's frantic fundraising duties. But it'll cost them
upwards of $35 million per election cycle . [And] Ryan, 45, would find
himself a weaker speaker if he didn't put his star quality to work for
lawmakers desperate for campaign cash."

314qBHSl> "Angry GOP Senate freezes out Obama nominees" reports Politico:
"Right now, eight ambassadorial nominees are waiting on the Senate floor to
be confirmed, and more than 100 other nominations are languishing in
committee . Among the most egregious examples of unnecessary holds,
Democrats say, has been Cruz's work to stymie confirmation of Gayle Smith,
nominated as director of the U.S. Agency for International Development . The
vacancy is drawing more scrutiny as the United States faces pressure to act
on the Syrian refugee crisis."
Might
<http://caf.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=qPwY6RV7JDtNcgjARnnfVs5F314qBH
Sl> some Republicans move on climate change? NYT's Eduardo Porter: "Last
month, 11 Republicans in the House introduced a resolution that - tortuously
worded though it may have been - acknowledged the need to 'address the
causes and effects' of a changing climate. 'I can count eight, 10, maybe 12
Republicans in the Senate who are waiting for the jailbreak,' said Sheldon
Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island."
How
<http://caf.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=AWCZPYz3a8CKnJNpR7LwsEmcfNEoPI
Qe> much would GOP tax plans give the rich? NYT's John Harwood: ".the
conservative Tax Foundation estimates that Mr. Rubio's plan would cut taxes
an average of 17.8 percent for all taxpayers - but 27.9 percent for the top
1 percent of earners . Mr. Bush's plan would raise the after-tax incomes of
top earners 16.4 percent, more than any other group . Trump, who leads
Republican polls, would raise incomes of the top 1 percent of earners 27
percent - also the most of any group."
