thinking personality colorful
I think Donald Trump is obviously the more colorful, the more flamboyant, the more dominant personality.
personality republican bizarre
If Donald Trump does lose, being revealed as this bizarre personality, Ted Cruz is not going to be what Republicans are looking for in 2020.
liars men narcissistic
Dan Coats, retiring senator from Indiana, a mild-mannered man, a former United States ambassador to Germany, former congressman, said of Ted Cruz he's the most self-centered, narcissistic, pathological liar I have ever seen.And he said, you can quote me on that.
foreign-policy policy soviet-union
The organizing principle of the United States defensive foreign policy had been opposition to the Soviet Union. There is no more Soviet Union.
party thinking republican
I think the Republican Party is cursed. And it's cursed itself.
successful thinking democratic
I think this was as good a Democratic Convention [ this was my 24th convention] as I have seen since the 1976 convention, which nominated Jimmy Carter.I just thought it was a spectacularly successful convention. I don't think Hillary Clinton's speech was spectacular, but I don't think she's a spectacular speaker.
country kind share
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.
political abandoned
White working-class voters or working-class voters have felt abandoned, have felt, in many senses, disparaged by the political leadership of America.
men
Donald Trump is not an unintelligent man.
There is a cleavage and a divide in America like I have never seen before.
boat john-kerry command
Everybody who served in John Kerry's boat under his command, save one, has stood with him.
vietnam bills chance
As Bill Clinton said so eloquently at the convention, during Vietnam there was a chance to serve; there was a chance not to serve.
reality iraq government
Since the election, since the formation of a government, the death in Iraq has increased. The United States stands by, helpless to do anything about it. That's the reality, not George Bush's revisionist history!
smear-campaigns campaigns problem
The problem with smear campaigns is that too often they work.
