If you're running a successful administration, then you're loyal to people who are basically good who make a mistake. And that seems to be essential for any organization.

I would have swapped out Donald Trump's frontal cortex for somebody else's for a little more self-control.

Donald Trump tried to set up this debate where it was going to be globalists vs. nationalists, and the Republicans were going to be the nationalists. But, if anything, the Democrats looked more patriotic and more nationalist at the end of these two.

For the Republican Convention, I think of Trump's speech and sort of the darkness, the fear of crime, the need for a strong arm really, and so that one core theme.
