Hillary Clinton certainly has a flair for the ironic. "There may be some new voices in the Republican presidential choir," Clinton observed in Saturday's re-annoucement that she was running for president. "But they're all singing the same old song — a song called 'Yesterday.'"
Clinton was accusing Republicans of being trapped in the past in the same speech that she began by referencing a speech Franklin Roosevelt gave in 1941. And in doing so, she quoted a song the Beatles released in 1965 — before Republicans Scott Walker, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Bobby Jindal had even been born.
The reference was also an indication that Rubio has already gotten into her head.
If you recall, back in April, Clinton announced her candidacy for the first time. A day later, Rubio launched his campaign, stating, "Just yesterday, a leader from yesterday began a campaign for president by promising to take us back to yesterday. But yesterday is over, and we are never going back."(continued)

Please vote down ballot.
The Republican Party would be foolish to go the route of holding nominee debates. All they would succeed in doing by debates is tearing each other apart. The nominees need to get together behind the scenes and decide which of them they’ll all support.
Secret ballot should be taken of all those who have declared their interest in being nominated, with the names of everyone’s second choice being counted and the one with the most second choice votes becoming the presidential candidate and the one with the most third choice votes becoming the vice-presidential nominee.
Presumably each one would not for himself for first choice, so it’s their second choices and third taken together that should be the criterion for selecting the presidential and vice-presidential nominees.
The Republican Party needs to change its approach to nominee choice. Unity and consensus are needed, if victory is sought. Not a debate circus.
If you mean vote other offices, I guess that’s correct. But I held my nose when I voted for John McCain, and I’m never going to do that again.
Typo in my post. It should have read “Presumably each one WOULD vote for himself as first choice, so their second choice votes are what count in deciding who the nominee will be...”
That was what was correctly stated about beating Obama.
Hillary’s biggest achievement?
She illegally deleted her emails.
maybe we need to raise the voting age to 35 since it seems so many under it love her. How they can vote for this monster I don’t know. I don’t think the black boat is going to turn out for her like they did for Obama
Yes. They should and the party elite should be informed of this fact.
I think Rubio beats her like a rented mule. He’ll make her look like the Crypt Keeper in debates.
Unlike Bush, I think most of our party will follow Rubio. He has said his first ideas about Immigration were wrong based on what he heard from us. I like the idea that a candidate is listening to voters.
He’s in my top 5 right now.
I’ll make a prediction right now. Rubio beats Bush in FL. Being that Bush won’t win IA, or SC, I think that ends Jeb.
Which RINO candidate will be the one to say “We have nothing to fear with Hillary as President.”
“If the GOP nominates another Bush, Lindsey Graham, Chris Christie”
Add Pataki to that list, and I’ll go fishing on election day.
This would be the 3rd and last Prez election they do it to me. I go find a remote area of the desert, wait until the country collapses, and move across the border to the new Republic of Texas.
Really? This is the country that elected Barack Obama. Twice.
GOP is dead in my mind anyways. Bunch of greedy sellouts.
He said last week that he still supports amnesty.
I am never voting for national suicide.
Conservative voters should have already abandoned the GOP.
After nominating the author of the previous TWO amnesty attempts, they nominate the one guy who can’t really attack Obamacare because he invented it.
The GOP has been an enemy of conservatism for years and conservatives will not acknowledge that fact.
CNN basically gave her a one-hour FREE campaign commercial today.
So where is the in-kind contribution to the repub candidates?
I agree with you completely.
I saw him on Outnumbered on FNC about 2 weeks ago. He said his Immigration policy would be 3 parts; 1 secure the border, 2 find the criminal element, deport them 3 all others here illegally would have to pay fine, pass background checks, and go through the same testing as any other immigrant. He said that there are now too many kids that have lived their whole lives here and he doesn’t see the need to punish them for the mistakes of their parents by sending them to a 3rd world country that they have never been to.
I understand that. Not my first choice but I can live with it if we stop the flow inbound first.
Some of our candidates aren’t even talking about the border. Cruz has the best ideas, but he has his work cut out to get his message to the voter based on what we know about the media.
