If you have ever sat in a focus group in a swing state, you are 100% certain that most soft partisans make up their minds on who to vote for based on things that are totally outside of an understanding of issues.

More quotes by Christopher Michael Cillizza
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.
Christopher Michael Cillizza
I am not convinced that means [Donald] Trump is a lock to be the next president but it does suggest that what he has tapped into is both lasting and powerful.

Of course, with the last ads shipped and the last polls conducted, there's not much to do but try to read the tea leaves. And from what Democrats are seeing, it doesn't look good. At all.
Christopher Michael Cillizza
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.
Christopher Michael Cillizza
Brain surgery is not like politics and vice versa.
Christopher Michael Cillizza
I don't think we can rule out a wave, I think a Democratic takeover is possible but not probable.
Christopher Michael Cillizza
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.

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.
Christopher Michael Cillizza
If people don't believe the source, then we aren't going to change their minds. We just won't.

[Donald] Trump won fair and square! He got 13.3 million votes. He won all over the country. He won when the race was crowded and when it was a one on one against Ted Cruz. There's just no reasonable way to keep Trump from the nomination while insisting that the will of the Republican voter is being respected.
Christopher Michael Cillizza
I was 12 minutes late. Let's not make a federal case out of it.
Christopher Michael Cillizza
Prominent Democratic strategists are growing increasingly nervous that the national political environment is not only bad for their side but moving in the wrong direction in the final days before the election, a trend that not only could cost their party control of the Senate but also result in double-digit House losses.
Christopher Michael Cillizza
There's a suspicion always about politicians. The suspicion level is really elevated and it just feels like people do not trust their institutions.
Christopher Michael Cillizza
Nothing makes me crazier than the you gave us Trump argument based on Hillary Clinton's emails. I didn't set up the private server. I didn't advise her to be decidedly cryptic about the whole thing. I didn't tell the FBI to investigate.
Christopher Michael Cillizza
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.
Christopher Michael Cillizza
I think what it is is do not depend on the president to get you over the line. Do not depend on the fundraising, on the turnout operation, the president's own popularity, because it's not going to work.
Christopher Michael Cillizza
I think Twitter is becoming remarkably intolerant and heavily liberal. As in, anything that is perceived as being pro Trump is scolded and mocked.
Christopher Michael Cillizza
I think Donald Trump's natural tendency in all things is to resist any deal where he doesn't get to set the terms.
Christopher Michael Cillizza
There are no more slow weeks. I realized this about 3 years ago. Downtime in politics isn't a thing.
Christopher Michael Cillizza
Where we are in politics is running down whatever doesn't agree with you.
