I think Donald Trump's natural tendency in all things is to resist any "deal" where he doesn't get to set the terms.
I don't think we can rule out a wave, I think a Democratic takeover is possible but not probable.
People roll their eyes at the idea of Kanye West running for president. I do not.
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are, and have been, totally known. Also, broadly disliked.
I thought Donald Trump approach on Brexit was a fascinating window into how he thinks. His basic point was that [David] Cameron should resign because he didn't read the public mood on the issue right. And that Boris Johnson should be the next prime minister because he did. That's a very different definition of leadership than many politicians have. Or at least say they have.
I am done underestimating [Donald] Trump and his appeal.
Halloween without kids is tremendously bad.
History's greatest monster.
I eat like a maniac when I am sick. My attitude is if I am going to die anyway in the next 24-48 hours, I mind as well live it up.
Where we are in politics is running down whatever doesn't agree with you.
For me, I focus on trying to get it right and be as fair as possible. There's not much else I can do. People will believe what they want - facts be damned.
If people don't believe the source, then we aren't going to change their minds. We just won't.
Anything is possible with Trump.
I just think we all distrust people and institutions much more than we once did. And we tend to think elites run everything and are looking out for themselves at our expense. Add it up and you get LOTS more conspiracy theorists.
Trump staying disciplined and on message is not what Donald Trump wants. He views himself as a tremendously gifted natural communicator who connects best with people when he is riffing without notes or preparation.
I think Donald Trump is simply incapable of sticking to a single message. Or of understanding that he doesn't know better than everyone else in every circumstance.
I think what it is is do not depend on the president to get you over the line. Do not depend on the fundraising, on the turnout operation, the president's own popularity, because it's not going to work.
