Where we are in politics is running down whatever doesn't agree with you.

I don't think Donald Trump is going to lose by 15 points to Hillary Clinton or even 10. The country still feels too polarized for that to happen.

You have every right to have your views. But don't let those views get in the way of indisputable facts!

I think Twitter is becoming remarkably intolerant and heavily liberal. As in, anything that is perceived as being pro Trump is scolded and mocked.

I am not sure we are going to see Republican Members endorsing Hillary Clinton. I think we will see plenty say they can't vote for Donald Trump. That doesn't mean they vote for her. They could either not vote, vote for the Libertarian ticket or write someone in.

Big moments like the Olympics tend to freeze things in place. It's just very hard to break through the news cycle with peoples's eyes on the Olympics. That's even more true with the concerns about Zika and terrorism.

Trump staying disciplined and on message is not what Donald Trump wants. He views himself as a tremendously gifted natural communicator who connects best with people when he is riffing without notes or preparation.

I just think we all distrust people and institutions much more than we once did. And we tend to think elites run everything and are looking out for themselves at our expense. Add it up and you get LOTS more conspiracy theorists.

There's a suspicion always about politicians. The suspicion level is really elevated and it just feels like people do not trust their institutions.

I eat like a maniac when I am sick. My attitude is if I am going to die anyway in the next 24-48 hours, I mind as well live it up.

Image
I do think that even if the average person doesn't care, it IS a big deal. Like, it's been a foundational principle of our democracy for 240 years.

Brain surgery is not like politics and vice versa.

[Paul] Ryan won kudos both within his membership and the party base for not giving in.

The editorial board, who endorses candidates, is totally separate from the news side of the business. We don't consult one another. They have one job to do, we have a totally different one to do. So whether the Washington Post editorial board endorses Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton is meaningless to me.
