This year [2016], however, polls show [Hillary] Clinton winning white college-educated voters by double digits.

Republicans think that [Ted] Cruz would be like Barry Goldwater. He'd lose in a landslide and pull the party down with him. They'd lose Senate and House seats.

As one person said to me , Republicans know [Donald] Trump is a stain on their party.

Obama's even keel sometimes comes across as aloof or even cold.

For a long time, many Republicans thought if they just took two aspirin and laid down, [Donald] Trump would go away.

Donald Trump's staffing up a pretty traditional, very conservative Republican government, not a populist outsider government, at least not yet.

Romney still enjoys the Republicans' traditional advantage among voters who are veterans, but the Obama campaign is confident it can chip away at that.

While Romney has an overall deficit with women voters, his biggest disadvantage is with college educated women - wherever they work, at home, in an office, a store or a factory.

Ted Cruz is a small-government conservative.

The GOP establishment, in particular, is facing a pick-your-poison kind of decision. Many establishment Republicans dislike [Ted] Cruz personally. He has no Senate endorsements.

Republicans like Trent Lott, saying [Donald] Trump would be more flexible [then Ted Cruz].

If you want someone’s attention, whisper.

Nobody is ever just a straight up protagonist or antagonist - everybody's morally ambiguous.

I always push forward. It doesn't mean that I'll be perfect. I make mistakes -- but I learn from my mistakes, and move on.

I hold that all the evil we know on earth finds in this violence done to love its true and legitimate birth.

My goal is to have that be a haven for families.

That which is not daring is nothing.

I'm ready to accept the challenge. I'm coming home.

Jesus is with me. I have nothing to fear.

It's always been my philosophy to try to make art out of the everyday and ordinary...it never occurred to me to leave home to make art.
