party people politician
People are fed up. They are fed up with what's happening in Washington. They are fed up with both parties. They are fed up with politicians who have lied to them.
people accountability fed-up
Brexit is the people of Britain who are fed up with the European Union dominating their lives, and they want accountability.
powerful thinking people
I think data is incredibly powerful for understanding what people are thinking and for allocating resources.
giving
The media ought to be just giving a fair shake to everybody.
party political care
I care a heck of a lot more about America than I do about any political party.
country powerful kids
Two-thirds of Americans think our kids will have a worse life than we did. That is a powerful indication we are on the wrong path. I think we can change that, but I'll tell you, that's what I'm going to fight to do, and the reason so many grass-roots activists poured so much into it is they believed in our country. They believed in liberty.
waiting
We are the change we're waiting for.
good-things flexibility
You know flexibility is a good thing but it shouldn't - you shouldn't be flexible on core principles.
country strong believe
I believe in the American people. It's - I believe in trusting them, I believe in empowering them, and I think, at the end of the day, the only force strong enough to change the course we're on is the grass roots across the country.
thinking nasty
You don't hear me lambasting, engaging in personal attacks, getting nasty. I don't think that belongs in politics.
simple likeable
It is very simple to be likeable in Washington. You just go along to get along. You just do what your leadership wants.
people promise emperor
What is deemed "unlikeable" in Washington is actually standing up to Washington and saying no, saying "The emperor has no clothes," saying "We made promises to the people who elected us; let's do that."
The more liked you are in Washington, the less liked you are in the rest of America, and vice versa.
people
You cannot build a grass-roots campaign unless you are connecting with people.
