I think the very best line from any candidate this cycle was by Andrew Gillum in Florida

[Stinky The Clown]

Speaking about the scumbag R he is running against:

"I'm not saying he's a racist. I'm saying the racists think he's a racist."

I thought the line was just plain brilliant.

[Stuart G]

1. Yes, it was brilliant and will be remembered for a long time..no text.

[aikoaiko]

2. It was brilliant. Right up there with "Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy"

1988 vice-presidential debates:
Bentsen to Quayle: Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy. I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy.

[malaise]

8. And

please proceed Governor

[Haggis for Breakfast]

25. I remember watching that debate.

We thought they were going to need a crowbar to get Quayle talking again.

Way to go "Uncle" Lloyd.

[LovingA2andMI]

3. Andrew Gillum....

and his BEAUTIFUL FAMILY are indeed PRESIDENTIAL & FIRST FAMILY MADE and hope He Strongly Considering Running For This Office Someday!

[rurallib]

24. slow down - get by this one first!

[lapfog_1]

4. This elections "I knew John Kennedy, John Kennedy was a friend of mine"

"You, sir, are no John Kennedy"!

[R B Garr]

7. Yes, that one is a timeless classic. Brilliant. nt

[Woodycall]

19. Jackie maybe

[nycbos]

5. When Trump called him a thief he said...

... "My grandmother said never wrestle with a pig. You'll both get dirty but the pig will enjoy it"

[ProudLib72]

9. He said that?

[nycbos]

11. On Twitter I think.

[ProudLib72]

12. You might want to check my signature line

I've been going through Gillum "grandmother" quotes recently because they are so perfect.

[ecstatic]

27. lol! nt

[cannabis_flower]

28. George Bernard Shaw

I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.

6. It was brilliant. A total score! Says it directly without

saying it directly, lol.

[Scurrilous]

10. K&R

[mtnsnake]

13. As of now, I think he's one of our best choices for a future Presidential run

He's got smarts, personality, and guts. And he isn't a hundred years old!

[GusBob]

14. I think he borrowed that line from the Simpsons

Eom

[highplainsdem]

16. ????? Just did some checking on Google and can't find anything about that.

[GusBob]

18. Try "Simpsons Fox News Helicopter"

[highplainsdem]

22. Okay. "Not Racist But #1 with Racists" on the side of the helicopter.

Thanks for pointing that out.

But I think it's quite possible Gillum came up with his line without seeing that Simpsons episode, or hearing about it.

[GusBob]

23. Hell if I know

I never watched a lick of that show but still knew about it.

I think I seen that on DU actually

[docgee]

15. Rec that!

[highplainsdem]

17. Agree. Great line.

[FakeNoose]

20. That's going to leave a mark

[bucolic_frolic]

21. Yes it was brilliant,

and gentlemanly, and shows intelligence and confidence. It makes the point without attacking.

But you know, so does "I'm a nationalist." Because as candidate you wouldn't want to use the root form: Nazi.

[Honeycombe8]

26. Yeah...that was one of the best lines I've ever heard during a campaign.

He used it again regarding something else.

[Cha]

29. You just can't argue with it!

[Nitram]

30. Brilliant!
