The Republican Party is too fixated on this fiction of electability.
Women are trying to have it all but are trying to regain control over their time. That's why many women are busting out of the traditional workforce and starting their own businesses.
Sexual harassment is as difficult to prove as it is to disprove.
Washington is built on power.
In New York, the currency is money. You have money, and you get anonymity.
Although it shouldn't be, men behaving badly is sort of an occupational hazard for those working in Washington.
John McCain was one of the senators who voted against George Herbert Walker Bush's disastrous break of his no new taxes pledge when he raised taxes in 1990. That's really important. He's a supply-sider. And he's got supply siders like Phil Graham and Jack Kemp to vouch for that.
The country is increasingly culturally conservative, with a small C. Every time marriage is on the ballot, it passes. People are increasingly pro-life. They don't like taxes.
We got Defense of Marriage Act as a federal law from President Bill Clinton. And it was passed with bipartisan support.
You live by the media, you live by the polls, you've got to suffer by the polls, too.
Voters go into the ballot box with big ideas in their mind: leadership, change, experience, hope.
Of course there's racism in this country, and we have a terrible history of that in this nation.

I went out on my own, years ago, to try to create some additional choices in a parallel universe.Collection: Years
I just can't believe it's always somebody else's fault. Sometimes you just have to take a look in the mirror and reflect on what went wrong.Collection: Believe
I believe that Donald Trump is someone who is not fully understood for how compassionate and what a great boss he is to women.Collection: Believe
I never knew I was so stupid or so ugly until there was social media.Collection: Stupid
I look at myself as a product of my choices, not a victim of my circumstances.Collection: Choices
Donald Trump just has always elevated women to the highest echelons.Collection: Trump
We know there are lots of leaks everywhere. There's nothing we can do about that, except not leak ourselves.Collection: Leaks
I don't think that we need to see [Donald Trump] tax returns to verify his financial acumen. I walk into the Trump Tower every day and I'm like, this guy did pretty well for himself before I got here.Collection: Thinking
Hold us accountable. There's no accountability in Washington. Drain the swamp.Collection: Accountability
Do you think I ran a campaign where white supremacists had a platform? Are you gonna look me in the face and tell me that?Collection: Thinking
Mothers and unmarried women and married women, they're all welcomed in the Trump White House, and he's made that very clear to me.Collection: Mother

I want to talk about things that are quantifiable, not a bunch of metro riders and crowd sizes.Collection: Crowds
When Donald Trump talks about the rigged, corrupt system, remember, he's standing up for the forgotten man and the forgotten woman. This is not about him. This is about the people. This is about folks who are white-knuckled at the end of each month trying to pay the bills. This is about the people who feel like their pressing their nose against the glass of the rigged system and can't get in, they're just watching everybody else benefit.Collection: Men
I think when somebody seeks mercy and forgiveness and means it, and I was with [Donald Trump] the entire time, including when he learned about this, people ought to think about that. They ought to think about when somebody asks you for forgiveness contrite and for mercy - are you willing to give it?Collection: Mean
When I was discussing my role with other senior campaign folks, they would say, "I know you have four kids, but..." I said, "There's nothing that comes after the 'but' that makes any sense to me, so don't even try." Like, what is the "but"? But they'll eat Cheerios for the rest of life? Like, nobody will brush their teeth again until I get home? I mean, it just - what is the "but"? And I do politely mention to them that the question isn't, would you take the job? The male sitting across from me who's going to take a big job in the White House.Collection: Senior
People already think the entire system is rigged against Donald Trump, and they're right, meaning, the corrupt, rigged system. The elections every four years are just part of that to them. They feel like they can't get a fair shake. It is the essence of the Donald Trump candidacy.Collection: Thinking
President Trump and his family are complying with all the ethical rules, everything they need to do to step away from his businesses and be a full-time president.Collection: President
Nearly two and a half million people die every year that are on the voter rolls. So it takes time to get dead people off the voter rolls.Collection: Years
When I see Twitter feeds, when I see words that are people are using to describe Donald Trump, it is incredibly disrespectful to the office.Collection: People
Donald Trump is going to work on infrastructure, building the wall. He's going to farm leaders.Collection: Wall
Usually based on an economic agenda, white working-class voters don't buy into this whole biology-chemistry-abortion-gender agenda as much as they want more take-home pay. They want affordability.Collection: Home
Donald Trump has addressed many times that his main concern is making sure that we have a system in place that we completely lack now, which is, those countries that tend to train and export and harbor terrorists where we do not have proper vetting are places where we're going to need to have better vetting. And he's made that very clear.Collection: Country
I want to have a great open relationship with our press.Collection: Want
My colleagues across the aisle in Brooklyn and team Clinton are very smart people. I respect them very much. But they misread America. They, they did not have her in red states. They, they were pretending that they were going to turn red blue.Collection: Smart
A majority of the country finds Hillary Clinton to be neither honest nor trustworthy. She does have that veracity problem with the people. That was very clear.I think it's one of the reasons she wasn't elected president.Collection: Country
For those saying they live in fear, again, I think they should be part of the conversation. They should reach out and try to not be so presumptively accusatory, frankly, or presumptively negative towards the president-elect, and instead try to build that trusting relationship and try to, frankly, explain their case to him and to his advisers.Collection: Thinking
Trump is a doer. He is not somebody who pushes paper or kicks the can down the road. He's an accountable - he's a businessman. He's used to accountability, results, delivery, and performance. And I think in this case, he will go ahead and look at alternatives.Collection: Thinking
Trump is going to secure the border. He's going to build the wall. He said Mexico will pay for it. And then he's going to take a look at who's here and decide - he's made this very clear - and decide, with his experts, what should happen.Collection: Wall
In a perfect world, we wouldn't have any nuclear weapons. But it's not a perfect world. In fact, it's a very dangerous world.Collection: Perfect
When you say that terrorism, particularly ISIS, radicals or terrorists being contained, that are the jayvee team, we don't have to worry about them anymore and then people are being killed in Nice, in Berlin, certainly in Orlando at the nightclub, in San Bernardino, in Paris, in Brussels, it doesn't ring true to anybody that they're not advancing. It doesn't ring true to anybody.Collection: Nice
I think all the president-elect is saying is that we have to be able to be - to keep ourselves safe and secure, and when others stop building their nuclear weapons, then we'll feel more secure in that regard.Collection: Thinking
I hope we can all agree - military might has been one of the ways to deter people from doing bad things. Now, that can take on any number of different aspects, but on this one, I think that we're getting a little too far ahead of ourselves that Trump is changing policy and making policy in a way that he did not intend.Collection: Military
Donald Trump believes in America, he believes in its people. He believes in its promise, is very liberating and you see that when you're with him privately, you see it publicly.Collection: Believe
[People] just don't seem to want to give [Donald Trump] any kind of berth at all, let alone a wide berth, to govern.Collection: People
First of all, people were not expecting [Donald Trump] to win. I still think they're in shell-shock four months later. Get over it.Collection: Winning
