A mark of stupidity is a belief that one party is totally virtuous and correct on the issues while the other is evil and always wrong.
So the Republican party of Teddy Roosevelt and John McCain and Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush is dead. It's over. It doesn't exist anymore.
It's part of the mythology now in the Republican Party that there's widespread voter fraud all across the country. In fact, there's not.
Elections are about the voters who vote in them.
Trump is what the Russians call a useful idiot, someone in service to the Russian Federation, either unwitting or wittingly.
For there to be any redemption of a right of center conservative party in the United States of America means the party of Trump must be destroyed politically.
This is not Trumpistan.
What destroyed the Republican Party isn't Trump. It's the obedience to Trump from servile leaders like McConnell and Ryan who could have put a check on him. They have gotten their place in political history. They'll be remembered as vile.
The country badly needs to have a right-of-center political party, grounded in traditional values that the Republican Party represented till it didn't.
Liberal democracy is in regression all over the world, and it's a dangerous thing.
The government is corrupted. It's corrupted. It is not about regular people.
If you want to oppose Trump, the first thing you should do is say, 'I'm not going to do one thing that makes it worse.' Because making it worse helps Trump. Part of the damage of this era is his debasement and his purposeful divisions. That's unique in all of history.
It's not just that there's no other spokesperson for the executive seat of power in a democratic republic anywhere in the world where you see that type of lying. It's that there's never been a spokesman for the executive seat in power who is such a prolific liar as Sarah Sanders.
Whether you're Democrat or Republican... you want everybody who's eligible to vote to vote, and that's how you want to win elections.
My fidelity is to my country, not my political party. Country first.
We have 57 choices of ketchup and 500 TV channels. Very nearly everything has been disrupted in the country, from how we buy groceries to how we consume news, except for the system that produces the political leadership of the country.
Mitch McConnell has, as much as anyone, done great damage to the United States Senate as an institution that was once known as the world's greatest deliberative body.
Politicians have an acutely honed instinct for self-preservation.
I think that more and more Americans are insistent that, at a minimum, gay couples should be treated with respect and when they see a political party trying to stigmatize a group of people who are hardworking, who play by the rules, who raise decent families, they're troubled by it.
Birtherism is a fringe issue that's way out of the mainstream, and it's disturbing when you see people you... have some level of respect for, whether it's members of Congress or even Donald Trump, falling into that category.
