Quote

The media has lost its monopoly. They have lost the opportunity they had to define what's news and what isn't news. They have lost the monopoly on telling people what to think, as in commentary and this kind of thing.

If you can't bring them down economically you kill them, that's how you promote equality. You build a wall to keep them in the country. Socialism, communism, build walls to make sure people can't get out. In a country that's communist and builds a wall, there's nobody trying to get in. Works every time it's tried.

When Barack Obama was caught telling Dmitry Medvedev, Tell Vlad to be patient. We'll get rid of our nukes after I win reelection and I'll have more flexibility. That was in 2012, right before the election.

Are any of you out there worried that it means something bad that [Donald] Trump has decided not to prosecute Hillary [Clinton]? I'm just asking, because I'm hearing from people who are.

I have chosen a different path when talking about the failings of the Republican leadership. I don't make it personal, and many other people do, and I suspect maybe they're not aware of that. If everybody's dumping on 'em, they're gonna conclude that everybody is.

Alicia Machado is the former Miss Universe that gained a lot of weight and Donald Trump made mention of the fact I guess to her when he owned the pageant. And Hillary Clinton used her to try to illustrate that Trump hates women and is not nice to women and all that.

Mitch McConnell further said he was kind of surprised that a rich guy like Donald Trump could be elected! Yeah, it's bad enough that the Democrats believe their own media, the Drive-By Media.

There was no civility, there was no sophistication, there was nothing but raw resentment and anger on the part of the Hillary [Clinton] campaign staff.

Has everybody forgotten the media, the Democrat drumbeat for the last eight years prior to Barack Obama's immaculation? Where were the complaints about negativity then? I mean, in the last eight years prior to 2008, we had a political party in this country rooting for America to lose at war.

It's not his job, the president's, to pick winners and losers, nor to pass judgment on anybody.

Of course [the White House press corps] are a factor, and the reason is they're not media. They happen to pretend or portray people running around finding out things nobody else knows and telling everybody, but that's not what they do.

Trump is considered to be an outsider. The establishment doesn't want any part of Trump. They don't want him to succeed. And I would throw some Republicans in that as well. It's just the way Washington works.

Donald Trump is gonna immediately start canceling some executive orders and repealing Obamacare.

What Make America Great means is it doesn't mean race, and it doesn't mean gender, and it doesn't mean sexual orientation, and it doesn't mean anything identity politics related that seems to appeal to the Democrat Party. It's about a culture. It's about an identity. It's about an idea - the American idea, the American ideal.

We are hated because we are free. We are hated because of the idea that is the United States of America. We are hated because of our Constitution.

I'm telling you, the disconnect is big, and the gap of understanding between the people in Washington, in news media, the New York/Boston/Washington corridor and the rest of the country, that gap is widening.

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.

[John] McCain has never ripped into [Barack] Obama the way he rips into [Donald] Trump or other Republicans.

Obama and the Democrats are not focused on the moderates. They're focused on getting their base out, and they're trying to expand that base by forming sympathetic, empathetic alliances with the downtrodden, and there are a lot of downtrodden because Obama has made them that way via his policies.

Democrats don't have reasons for people to vote for them. They're just trying to gin up anger and resentment for their opposition. And it's just not working anymore.
