Brendan O'Connor · 02/01/16 08:58PMIt Sure Sounds Like Clinton Didn’t Want De Blasio Campaigning for Her in Iowa
Andy Cush · 02/01/16 01:35PMWhen New York Mayor Bill de Blasio approached his old boss Hillary Clinton about campaigning on her behalf in Iowa, her campaign said no thanks, that won’t be necessary, he told the Times. Rather than accept that snub gracefully, de Blasio went to Iowa anyway and performed what amounted to entry-level volunteer work. Take a hint, my man.
Idealists Won't Vote for Idealistic Candidate Because He Can't Win Because They Won't Vote For Him
Hamilton Nolan · 02/01/16 10:15AMDonald Trump and Hillary Clinton Will Win Iowa Tonight, Unless They Don't
Alex Pareene · 02/01/16 09:41AMThe Iowa caucuses are tonight. What’s going to happen? On the Republican side, either Donald Trump will win, or Ted Cruz will win. According to a poll conducted by Ann Selzer, unanimously considered the best pollster in Iowa, Trump will win. That’s a good reason to feel confident in a Trump victory.

J.K. Trotter · 01/29/16 04:22PMRemember how Hillary Clinton used a private homebrew email server to conduct official State Department business? Today—only hours before the agency is expected to release the next batch of Clinton’s emails, and just days before the Iowa caucuses—the sitting administration disclosed that 22 of those emails are now considered top secret, and thus exempt from release:
Hillary Clinton Fails 7th Grade Civil War History
Sam Biddle · 01/26/16 11:09AMAt last night’s uneventful Iowa “town hall” discussion on CNN, Hillary Clinton was asked which president she most admires. Her answer: Abraham Lincoln. Her reason: a terrible muddled mess of Dixie revisionism that puts Reconstruction in the same dark bin as Jim Crow.
Anthony Weiner Documentary Filmmakers Say They Didn't Cut Any Damaging Hillary Clinton Footage
Brendan O'Connor · 01/24/16 09:15PMResponding to earlier reports that filmmakers had cut footage, damaging to the Clinton campaign, from a new documentary about Anthony Weiner, co-director Elyse Steinberg said, “There was no footage that was taken out.” That, presumably, is an overstatement, as the filmmakers were working with 400 hours of raw footage.

Melissa Cronin · 01/23/16 02:45PMLena Dunham Not So Sure About Hillary Clinton
J.K. Trotter · 01/20/16 09:59AMActress, memoirist, and newsletter publisher Lena Dunham is one of Hillary Clinton’s most prominent campaign surrogates. Their relationship has worked out well so far: Clinton benefits from the attention of Dunham’s Millennial fans, while Dunham, who made her name in comedy, gets to align herself (and her brand) with the one of the world’s most powerful politicians. According to Amy Chozick of The New York Times, however, Dunham initially expressed some misgivings about her future alignment with the Clinton clan, apparently before she began showing up at Hillary Clinton’s campaign rallies:
If This Terrible Primary Season Goes On Like This, People Might Actually Have to Vote
Tom Scocca · 01/19/16 06:34PMThis morning’s New York Times had two front-page stories about politics that were really one story. One was about the fact that Republicans who identify as evangelical Christians are rallying behind the aggressively impious figure of Donald Trump. The other was about how Hillary Clinton’s campaign is desperately trying to get ready for a prolonged state-by-state nominating contest against Bernie Sanders.

Hamilton Nolan · 01/19/16 10:19AMHillary Clinton Says She's "Too Busy" to See the Benghazi Movie
Ashley Feinberg · 01/18/16 12:36PMOn CNN yesterday, Hillary Clinton told Jake Tapper that she was “too busy campaigning” to see 13 hours, the new (poorly performing) flick about the attack on Benghazi in 2012. Which—while valid—was probably a poor choice of words, considering it sets conspiracy theorists up perfectly to say things like this:
Hillary Clinton Suggests Silicon Valley Could Be Bending on Encryption
Sam Biddle · 01/17/16 11:24PMToward the end of this evening’s uneventful Democratic debate, Hillary Clinton made a very interesting aside about the ongoing struggle between spies, cops, and the contents of your smartphone.
Gawker and Jezebel's Democratic Debate Liveblog: Bernie vs Hillary vs That Other Guy
Sam Biddle · 01/17/16 10:57PMThe Communist Party of the U.S.A. is holding a debate tonight, pitting new nemeses Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders against one another as handsome man Martin O’Malley just sort of stands there and watches.
