Russia has a very sophisticated, advanced attack on U.S. businesses and U.S. government and U.S. institutions. And it's not like Donald Trump is going to be walking away from this. He will be spending a lot of time on it, if he's any sort of normal president.

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.

Through American history, we have had populist movements that often, often, often have this ugly racial element. But, often, there are warning signs of some deeper social and economic problem.

If you grow up in a home where actions don't lead to predictable consequences, you don't develop strategies to control your impulses.

The politics is broken up and down. And Trump may emerge from a reality TV world that is much more powerful than we think. And there is the prospect that this is where we are, which is an horrific thought.

As for multimillionaires [in Donald Trump's Administration], a lot of us hope to be a multimillionaire some day. Again, spotty records, but it seems to be not without the range.

I do think Donald Trump is a fundamentally unstabilizing force and that the people who swore to uphold the Constitution are going to have to take some measures at some point.

People used to complain that selling a president was like selling a bar of soap. But when you buy soap, at least you get the soap. In this campaign, you just get two guys telling you they really value cleanliness.

Clearly, politics is a team sport. Trump is not so much of a team player.
David Brooks

People want a reality that tells them they're right all of the time.

I think actually in any party it's a sign of general health to have different views, and especially on the subject of trade.
David Brooks
Image
I think Americans expect optimism in their leadership. The most popular and effective leaders, whether it was Bill Clinton or Ronald Reagan or Jack Kennedy, brought to it a sense of optimism and possibility.

I don't know if I'm sexist, though I have not paid much attention to the women's bracket.

Image
It's part of Donald Trump's psychodynamics to always care about his press coverage intensely. He's more interested in that than anything else.
David Brooks

The brain is not the mind. It is probably impossible to look at a map of brain activity and predict or even understand the emotions, reactions, hopes and desires of the mind.

We actually have to have a government. We have to have people confirmed and put into office.

I'm beginning to think [Ted] Cruz had a good convention, that if [Donald] Trump goes down, Cruz is pretty well positioned to be the Republican major figure in four, six or even within two years.

People who give money in large amount in politics are basically not altruistic.

I happen to think most people go into government do it for the right reasons and they really do things as they see them on the merits of the issues.
