The advantage that hospitals have over other institutions is that hospitals are community-based. You can't outsource your work you can't move your emergency department to Pakistan.

There is nothing more basic to our democracy than the right to participate in electing our political leaders.
Mark Shields
I think an increasing number of Republicans are perplexed and actually nervous about Donald Trump and Russia, nervous in the sense that he is gratuitously giving Democrats the national security advantage, that they're standing up for the country.
Mark Shields
[The Republicans] looked at basically the failed wars and they said, oh, this, us being the policeman of the world, that is not working.

Everybody who served in John Kerry's boat under his command save one has stood with him.
Mark Shields
That's the job of a free press is to hold the lamp up, to investigate, to hold accountable. And denying access, as Sean Spicer did , is the first step toward a dictatorship.
Mark Shields
Big money buys access in Washington, and access purchases influence. It is as simple as that. And they have basically given a green light, a further green light, after Citizens United, to the biggest money to have the bigger voice in our politics, and to sound out and drown out the voice of just ordinary citizens.
Mark Shields
If you're on the other side from me, you're not simply wrong or ill-informed or mistaken. We don't share the same country, the same values. You may not be the same kind of an American I am.
Mark Shields
[Donald trump] is moved from the enemy being Barack Obama, now gone, fading is Hillary Clinton, and there is no question he's chosen the enemy.
Mark Shields
He who speaks the truth must keep one foot in the stirrup.

The Democrats have tried the war against women in the past. It didn't really have that much traction.
Mark Shields
The Democrats have this high level of expectation of what government can do.
Mark Shields
American education will be determined by the quality of American public education, and that's public schools that are available.
Mark Shields
When you think of pristine preservation of America, you immediately think of Tulsa and Oklahoma.
Mark Shields
It's interesting how identity politics and Ann Coulter-style tactics have now blossomed. But they were always there in CPAC.
Mark Shields
Immigrants have been the sustenance and the survival and the treasure of America.
Mark Shields
Basically, global capitalism, basically to support it, or is it to be opposed? Is international order to be supported, or is it to be opposed? Republicans have taken a very clear line.
Mark Shields
Donald Trump manages to personalize everything. He brings chaos. He will not admit that he's ever made a mistake, that he's ever been wrong.
Mark Shields
It's both strategic, to get people's minds off other things, and to pick an internal enemy. 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.
Mark Shields
Mitt Romney looks like a secretary of state. He looks like the chancellor of the exchequer.
Mark Shields
The fact is that it's the most dangerous place to be on the political scale is to brand those on the other side as racist. That's the atomic bomb. That's the nuclear weapon of an American.
