from CNN "State of the Union" interviews during 2017 (number of quotes indicated): |
Making an appearance on all five talk shows on one Sunday is known as a Full Ginsburg, because it was first accomplished by William Ginsburg (Monica Lewinsky's attorney) in 1998. In 2013, both Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio accomplished a Full Ginsburg, fueling speculation that both were planning a presidential run in 2016. In 2014, John Kerry was the only person to accomplish a Full Ginsburg, but no one thought he was planning a presidential run in 2016. In 2015, two federal officials accomplished a Full Ginsburg: one in the follow-up to the January 2015 State of the Union speech, and the other after a train derailment. Paul Ryan accomplished a Full Ginsburg after becoming Speaker of the House in November 2015. In the first half of 2016, two presidential candiadtes accomplished a Full Ginsburg: Ted Cruz on Feb. 28, and Marco Rubio twice, on Feb. 14 and Feb. 21.
