They're going to have various pieces, and there's more than one way to get to the nomination.

The campaign of character assassination waged [against President Clinton] by the right was a singular, unprecedented effort. Nothing like it exists on the left.

That kind of well-funded disinformation campaign has no analog on the left.

There's no one silver bullet, but money really is the root of all evil. The single biggest problem is how much more money is flooding into politics these days.

A generation later, it was the daughters of wartime women workers who completed their mothers' campaign for equal pay.

This would be solved if Donald Trump would release his tax returns as he's told the American public that he would do.
