HEADLINE: “Jeb Bush Takes Jab at Hillary Clinton: 'I Don’t Need to Go to Chipotle.'” [ABC News, 4/16/15] JEB BUSH’S PLANNED TAX RETURN RELEASE WAS INTENDED TO HEIGHTEN HIS CONTRAST WITH HILLARY CLINTON Jeb Bush Associates Said His Planned Tax Return Release Was Intended To Dispel Romney Comparisons And Heighten Contrast With Hillary Clinton. “Candidates for president are not required to release tax returns. But many have done so – to greater and lesser degrees – for decades. [Jeb] Bush associates and other senior Republicans say that in addition to dispelling comparisons to Romney, the effort to be transparent about his finances is also meant to contrast with Hillary Clinton, the favorite for the Democratic nomination. Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, amassed tens of millions of dollars over the last 14 years. Republicans are expected to press for disclosure of extensive tax return information as well as more detailed accounting of the finances of the non-profit Clinton Foundation.” [Politico, 1/7/15] WALKER CALLED HILLARY CLINTON ELITIST AND SAID SHE WAS OUT OF TOUCH WITH AMERICANS Walker: The Way Hillary Clinton Reacted To Questions About Her Emails Proved She Was Out Of Touch Because She Seemed Like “She Couldn’t Believe She Actually Had To Respond To That.” “WALKER: ‘Well, I think you look at a whole pattern of things. Even the way she reacted to the e-mails. And then I think the fact and sort of saying, hey, this was a mistake. It was almost like when she stood in front of the U.N. and talked about this. She couldn't believe she actually had to respond to that. When you look at saying, you were dead broke but when you came out of the White House when she had a book deal pending and two houses out there. When she talk about not having driven for 18 years. I think those are all things that everyday people really wonder what is it that they're talking about. This is not someone who's connected with every day America.’” [The Kelly File, Fox News, 4/20/15] Walker: I Doubt Hillary Clinton Has Been To Kohl’s, Let Alone Shopped In The Last 15 To 20 Years. “Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin repeatedly laced into Mrs. Clinton as well, charging that she ''thinks the way to grow the economy is to grow Washington'' and would not reform federal entitlement programs that many Democrats cherish. He also cast her as out of touch by contrasting his discount shopping habits with hers: ‘I doubt that the presumptive nominee for the other party has ever been to Kohl's before, let alone shopped in the last 15 to 20 years.’” [New York Times, 4/18/15] Washington Post: Walker’s Line Of Attack Against Clinton Was That She Was An Elitist And He Was Not. “Sensing a tough, expensive general-election campaign against Clinton on the horizon — and an electoral map that could favor the Democrats — each Republican camp is plotting how to convincingly make the case as her best-positioned challenger … For Walker, that process has largely been straightforward, and he has developed what may be the clearest line of attack against Clinton: that she’s an elitist and he’s not.” [Washington Post, 4/19/15] RUBIO SAID HILLARY CLINTON WILL STRUGGLE TO CONNECT WITH EVERYDAY AMERICANS Rubio: “I Think Secretary Clinton’s Going To Struggle To Connect With Everyday Americans And Their Struggles Of Daily Life.” HH: “Now Senator Rubio, Secretary Clinton’s got this gimmick going. She’s driving around, she stopped at a Pilot Flying J, which makes her a backer of the Browns under Jimmy Haslam, so I like that. But can we, can you give us a comment on what you think about what is obviously a bit hackneyed, get in the van and drive around Iowa approach to this campaign and take no questions?” MR: “Well look, I think Secretary Clinton’s going to struggle to connect with everyday Americans and their struggles of daily life. I mean, and that’s a big problem. That’s one of the reasons why her ideas are so outdated. They’re still ideas based on an era that came and went. The 21st Century is just a dramatically different time. I mean, there are millions of people out there that are working as hard as they ever had. But now they live paycheck to paycheck. They weren’t living paycheck to paycheck with those jobs a decade or longer ago. They are now. They are one unexpected expense away from disaster.
