America is not a democracy. I think if your kids understood that - and most people don't. We are a representative republic. We're not a direct democracy.

[Democrats] in their frustration at having lost, they've thrown away the camouflage now.

It's a strategic thing to be in permanent campaign mode.

We also have to acknowledge that there are Millennials who don't know of the Clintons of the nineties, and we've always suspected that once they found out that... I mean, Bill Clinton's behavior was celebrated by Democrats in the nineties. Even by the feminazis!

Everybody talks about candidate tax returns, and they release those - well, most. But medical records, that's another thing, and that arguably might be more important or relevant than somebody's tax return.

Let me tell you who we conservatives are: we love people. When we look out over the United States of America, when we are anywhere, when we see a group of people, such as this or anywhere, we see Americans. We see human beings. We don't see groups. We don't see victims.

Hillary Clinton does not know what she's doing on anything. Hillary Clinton wouldn't be where she is if her name wasn't Clinton. She doesn't have any stand-alone achievements, stand-out achievements and accomplishments that in any way recommend her to the presidency.

The Democrat Party were gonna show Hillary Clinton gratitude. There might even be some people who actually think she's gonna be a good president, too. But for the most part it was they owed her. They owed her big time. They still do, and so does he.

What ends up getting this Stephen Lerner guy in the mind-set that he's in is his sense of entitlement. So he wants a college education. He wants it, he should have it. It shouldn't cost him anything. And the people who provide it certainly shouldn't be getting rich because a college education he thinks is an entitlement.

Conservatism is an active intellectual pursuit it requires a constant vigilance. It has nothing to do with feelings. Liberalism is the most gutless choice you can make. You just see suffering and say, 'Oh, I feel so horrible!'

One thing that I don’t know if people have come to grips with yet is just how serious ISIS is, just how serious militant Islamists are about Sharia. There is no compromise. There is no halfway. There is no mutual cohabitation plan.

If you have to keep telling us that Hillary Clinton’s uber-qualified, there must be some doubt about it. It must not be self-evident. It must not be apparent. And the reason it is not apparent and self-evident is because it isn’t true. The woman is no more qualified to be president than anybody else.

Jeff Bezos is on his way to becoming the wealthiest American, and by giving away his product at much reduced prices to food stamp recipients, he's building a moat around his life to where the pitchforks and the barbarians will avoid him 'cause they'll think he's on their side.

Hillary Clinton has a miracle disease, a miracle strain of pneumonia that doesn't hurt her or anybody else. The problem is, nobody's ever heard of it.

[The Democrats] can't stop [Donald] Trump. They are in the exact position that the Republicans were in in 2009 and 2010 with [Barack] Obama.

I know that some people believe Winston Churchill, magnanimity in victory. I've always believed magnanimity in defeat and then sneak up on 'em when they're not looking when you fire back. That's what I've always - magnanimity.

The Democrats really are not interested in keeping guns out of the hands of terrorists. They're interested in keeping you from being able to get guns.

I've got the greatest line in the world about the pope coming out in favor of contraception, and I don't dare use it. I don't even dare hint getting close because the moment you understand it, I'm in trouble. So it's something I've gotta contain and avoid bursting and so forth, and now you're frustrated because I've teased you with it.
