Monday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Jimmy Carter, Julian Castro, Bernie Sanders, and more.

The Gipper: “We in government should learn to look at our country with the eyes of the entrepreneur, seeing possibilities where others see only problems.” —Ronald Reagan

Political futures: “The debates have certainly demonstrated Democrats are now basically committed, as a field, to decriminalizing illegal entry to the United States amid an unprecedented migrant surge and that several of their front-runners are committed to the swift elimination of private insurance. Those are clarifying pieces of information, to put it mildly.” —Ross Douthat

Nope: “There is no doubt that the Russians did interfere in the election, and I think the interference, although not yet quantified, if fully investigated would show Trump didn’t actually win the election in 2016. He lost the election, and he was put into office because the Russians interfered on his behalf.” —Jimmy Carter

From the Department of Corrections: “In a story June 27 about the Democratic presidential debate, The Associated Press reported erroneously in some versions that former Vice President Joe Biden worked with Republican segregationist senators. In fact, the senators were Democrats.” —Associated Press

Non Compos Mentis: “Every woman gets to choose her word. Every woman gets to choose how she describes it. This is my way of saying it. This is my word. My word is ‘fight.’ My word is not the victim word. I have not been raped. Something has not been done to me. I fought, that’s the thing.” —Trump rape accuser E. Jean Carroll

Non sequitur: “We already pay for the health care of undocumented immigrants. It’s called the emergency room. People show up in the emergency room and they get care, as they should.” —Julian Castro (“This does not void the patient’s responsibility to pay for the provided healthcare in the future.” —Ellie Bufkin)

Submit, comrades! “If you support Medicare for All, you have to be willing to end the greed of the health insurance and pharmaceutical industries. That means boldly transforming our dysfunctional system by ending the use of private health insurance, except to cover non-essential care like cosmetic surgeries. And it means guaranteeing health care to everyone through Medicare with no premiums, no deductibles and no copays. It is imperative that we remain steadfast in our commitment to guarantee health care as a human right and no longer allow private corporations to make billions of dollars in profits off Americans’ health care.” —Sen. Bernie Sanders

And last… “While we rightly condemn [antifa] for violence and rightly categorize them as a terrorist organization, we should also remember that they are individually a bunch of weak, scrawny cowards who wouldn’t dare go one-on-one against any of the people they harass and assault. One of these days, the Antifa thugs are going to try this crap against a gun owner. And they are going to completely deserve the consequences.” —Matt Walsh
