"Barely hours after Hillary Clinton’s campaign launch in New York on Saturday, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) used footage from the event for an ad that mocks Clinton as a politician of the past.
The video begins with footage of Clinton taking shots at the Republican presidential field.
“There may be some new voices in the Republican choir,” she said of the GOP’s 2016 field. “But they’re all singing the same old song – A song called ‘Yesterday.’ ”
“Yesterday is over,” Rubio says in the ad. “And we’re never going back.”
While Clinton’s quote was a reference to the Beatles classic “Yesterday,” Rubio’s seems evocative of Fleetwood Mac’s “Don’t Stop” — a song known in politics as the 1992 presidential campaign anthem of Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton’s husband.
“We Americans are proud of our history, but our country has always been about the future,” Rubio goes on to say.
“Before us now is the opportunity to author the greatest chapter yet in the amazing story of America,” he adds. “But we can’t do that by going back to the leaders and the ideas of the past.”
“We must change the decisions we are making by changing the people who are making them.” TheHill
