THE WALL STREET PRIMARY -- “Wall Street Republicans’ dark secret: Hillary 2016,” by Ben White and Maggie Haberman.: “Two dozen interviews about the 2016 race with unaligned GOP donors, financial executives and their Washington lobbyists turned up a consistent … consolation candidate if [Jeb] Bush demurs, … Chris Christie doesn’t recover politically and no other establishment favorite gets nominated: Hillary Clinton. Most donors and Wall Street titans have not lined up with any candidate yet, waiting for the field to take shape after the midterms. But if Bush doesn’t run, the list of Republican saviors could be short. Some donors fear Christie will never overcome the Bridgegate scandal. Rep. Paul Ryan … so far seems more inclined to stay in the House … And to varying degrees, … Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Govs. Scott Walker of Wisconsin and John Kasich of Ohio … are either unknown or untrusted.”

Bill Clinton: Aliens May Exist

In an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, former President Bill Clinton copped to having aides search Area 51 as well as papers on Roswell, N.M., “to make sure there was no alien down there.” When Kimmel asked Clinton whether he would have informed the public if he found something, Clinton said, “Yeah.” Clinton also admitted that he thinks aliens may exist, given the vast expanse of the universe. “If we were visited someday, I wouldn’t be surprised,” he said. “I just hope it’s not like Independence Day.” Ending the speculation with a hopeful note, Clinton said that an alien invasion “may be the only way to unite this increasingly divided world of ours… think about all the differences among people of Earth would seem small if we feel threatened by a space invader.”* THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE: Bill Clinton checked Area 51 records for aliens while President(NYDN)

Sen. Al Franken says he's open to delaying individual mandate (Wash Post)
THE END OF THE SENATE AS WE KNOW IT: Harry Reid pushes through the NUCLEAR OPTION, throwing out decades of precedent to stop GOP's ability to block Obama noms(NYDN)
Senate Democrats voted to effect "the most fundamental alteration of its rules in more than in a generation" by taking away the ability of the minority to filibuster most presidential nominees. Harry Reid spearheaded the move, joined by Chuck Schumer, who had previously been reluctant to pull the trigger. Republicans reacted furiously

"We all know that today is a sad day," said Schumer, who helped negotiate several deals to avoid the "nuclear option," as recently as mid-July.
