I don’t think President Trump is a racist.

I know that campaigns can seem small, and even silly. Trivial things become big distractions. Serious issues become sound bites. And the truth gets buried under an avalanche of money and advertising. If you’re sick of hearing me approve this message, believe me – so am I.

America is just downright mean.

For the introduction of a new kind of music must be shunned as imperiling the whole state; since styles of music are never disturbed without affecting the most important political institutions.

It is just as important that business keep out of government as that government keep out of business.

I grew up in the South under segregation. So, I know what terrorism feels like – when your father could be taken out in the middle of the night and lynched just because he didn’t look like he was in an obeying frame of mind when a white person said something he must do. I mean, that’s terrorism, too.

I have decided in 2020 to run for president.

Politics is such a torment that I advise everyone I love not to mix with it.

The white man is destroying the world.

There’s no way now for you to get a Democratic or Republican nomination without being able to raise $200 or $300 million or more. I would not be inclined to do that, and I would not be capable of doing it.

There’s some jerks. There’s some big egos. There are a few that think they’re one of the Founding Fathers… in both parties.

The word ‚racism‘ is like ketchup. It can be put on practically anything – and demanding evidence makes you a ‚racist.‘

I don’t make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.

Love is an emotion that is based on an opinion of women that is impossible for those who have had any experience with them.

With Benghazi, I don’t see anyone saying, ‚Hey look, I am overall responsible for this and therefore, I take responsibility for what happened. It’s my fault.‘ I haven’t heard that yet. Meanwhile, the other side of the coin, the Osama bin Laden raid, it seems everyone made that decision, and that’s just unbelievable to me.

I love being able to be political without any political affiliation.

No part of the education of a politician is more indispensable than the fighting of elections.

Like religion, politics, and family planning, cereal is not a topic to be brought up in public. It’s too controversial.

In this world of sin and sorrow there is always something to be thankful for; as for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican.

I do have a political agenda. It’s to have as few regulations as possible.

I pay attention to politics and technology.

Of all noises, I think music is the least disagreeable.

Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country.

If you’re in business or politics, you need to have an intense understanding of what’s going on around you.

I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.

The governments of the present day have to deal not merely with other governments, with emperors, kings and ministers, but also with the secret societies which have everywhere their unscrupulous agents, and can at the last moment upset all the governments‘ plans.

There might be some serious fun in politics.

To announce that there must be no criticism of the president… is morally treasonable to the American public.

Ninety percent of the politicians give the other ten percent a bad reputation.

Before I became a chief minister, I never thought that one day I’d be the chief minister.

I have a reputation for taking on governors a lot more powerful than me.

There’s a lot of fuss on the Left about election irregularities, like, you know, the voting machines were tampered with, they didn’t count the votes right, and so on. That’s all accurate and of some importance, but of far more importance is the fact that elections just don’t take place, not in any meaningful sense of the term ‚election.‘

Democracy is only a dream: it should be put in the same category as Arcadia, Santa Claus, and Heaven.

Sometimes we be playing the politics too much and forget who we are just to win.

Ezra was right half the time, and when he was wrong, he was so wrong you were never in any doubt about it.

Let me just be very clear that the Republican Party will select a nominee that will beat Bill Clinton.

Unlike my opponent, I will not let oil companies write this country’s energy plan, or endanger our coastlines, or collect another $4 billion in corporate welfare from our taxpayers.

I don’t think that my kind of journalism has ever been universally popular. It’s lonely out here.

I have considered voting Conservative because I am so against the Labour party.

Democracy is when the indigent, and not the men of property, are the rulers.

I would remind you the lesser of two socialists is still a socialist.

The terrorist action of 9/11 gave birth to President Obama’s entry to the White House. Not directly, but indirectly.

I don’t like the name, U2, actually.

Yup, the whole birther movement was racist.

The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe with blood for centuries.

What Englishman will give his mind to politics as long as he can afford to keep a motor car?

I think America has always been polarized.

Fashion is merely an opinion. And I’ve got a lot of opinions.

You’ve got to watch the politics of AIDS. The politics of AIDS can work both for and against the victims of AIDS.

In my opinion, rankings are a very fickle measurement of one’s success and it is best to not get carried away by it.

Be thankful we’re not getting all the government we’re paying for.

Each party steals so many articles of faith from the other, and the candidates spend so much time making each other’s speeches, that by the time election day is past there is nothing much to do save turn the sitting rascals out and let a new gang in.

I consider myself a moderate Republican. I have very, very moderate social views, and I’m pretty strong on, on defense matters.

I’m going to be so much better a president for having been at the CIA that you’re not going to believe it.

If I don’t run for president, we’ll all be OK.

We need an adult in the White House. When making life-or-death, war-or-peace decisions, a president can’t just pop off or lash out irrationally.

There is not a liberal America and a conservative America – there is the United States of America. There is not a black America and a white America and latino America and asian America – there’s the United States of America.

Politics is a profession; a serious, complicated and, in its true sense, a noble one.

There is probably a perverse pride in my administration… that we were going to do the right thing, even if short-term it was unpopular. And I think anybody who’s occupied this office has to remember that success is determined by an intersection in policy and politics and that you can’t be neglecting of marketing and P.R. and public opinion.

Politics are a very unsatisfactory game.

I think governments can’t do much.
