Notable Quote of the Day ([link removed])
"To me, the more interesting part of the story is that Donald Trump has decided to embrace the advantages of incumbency in raising money. Democrats are so far reluctant to take any outside money, super PACs and beyond. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have set that standard. Whoever the Democratic nominee is, they're going to have their hands tied behind their backs.”
– David Jones, James Madison University political science professor
