Hillary and her campaign have routinely taken recordings and video clips of Trump’s outrageous statements and used them in ads that Pence called an insult-driven campaign. We agree. The words are insulting, and his running mate is the author.

A fellow in Portland, Oregon came up with a creative way of using the GOP team’s words to support Hillary!  Take a Trump or Pence quote, buy it as a domain name, and redirect the URL to HillaryClinton.com!  Congrats to Danilo Alfaro for the coolest Hillary-support trick of the week.

One of the few memorable moments from the otherwise tepid vice presidential debate on Tuesday night was when Indiana Gov. Mike Pence accused his rival, Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, of “whipping out that Mexican thing again.”

It also grabbed the attention of Danilo Alfaro, a Portland-based food writer who was in the midst of putting his son to bed as the two candidates repeatedly interrupted each other.

On her fifth visit to the west coast since launching her public speaking career a year ago, Hillary delivered the keynote today at Marketo’s 2014 Marketing Nation Summit in San Francisco.  She said that she is thinking about running in 2016 and will continue to think about it.  This article provides some context and perspective.

 

Hillary Clinton Plants a Tiny Seed of Doubt

“I am obviously flattered and deeply honored to have people ask me and people encourage me. And I am thinking about it,” Clinton said in San Francisco, per NBC’s Andrew Rafferty. “But I’m going to continue to think about it for a while.” Then came the doubt part, with Clinton saying the political back-and-forth she observed as Obama’s secretary of state gave her pause about waging another presidential campaign. “I would be the first to say we’re having a political period of, frankly, dysfunction,” she added. “I saw it from afar as secretary and it was disheartening and even embarrassing to see people arguing about letting us default on our debt.”
