Trump just looks stupid trying to appeal to blacks and Latinos.

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

Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.

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

No man will ever carry out of the Presidency the reputation which carried him into it.

Politics are a very unsatisfactory game.

I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat.

Our country was founded by geniuses, but it’s being run by idiots.

People do not make wars; governments do.

You can’t just have slogans, you can’t just have catchy phrases. You have to have an agenda. And I think what the Republican Party has to do, if it’s going to incorporate the tea party efforts in it, is to come up with an agenda that the American people can see, touch, and actually believe in, and something they believe in.

The right honourable gentleman caught the Whigs bathing, and walked away with their clothes. He has left them in the full enjoyment of their liberal positions, and he is himself a strict conservative of their garments.

I have never really thought that the Left was much in ‚array‘ as far as political purposes were concerned.

Politics, according to the Social Doctrine of the Church, is one of the highest forms of charity, because it serves the common good. I cannot wash my hands, eh? We all have to give something!

Nobody wants to put the creditworthiness of the United States in jeopardy. Nobody wants to see the United States default. So we’ve got to seize this moment, and we have to seize it soon.

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

A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.

The U.S. and its allies will do anything they can to prevent authentic democracy in the Arab world.

I don’t think President Trump is a racist.

Politics is the entertainment branch of industry.

Well, I have great respect for Senator Hirono.

No party has a monopoly on wisdom. No democracy works without compromise. But when Governor Romney and his allies in Congress tell us we can somehow lower our deficit by spending trillions more on new tax breaks for the wealthy – well, you do the math. I refuse to go along with that. And as long as I’m President, I never will.

The policemen or soldiers are only a gun in the establishments hand. They make the racist secure in his racism.

Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!

I have decided in 2020 to run for president.

The very design of neoliberal principles is a direct attack on democracy.

An election is a moral horror, as bad as a battle except for the blood; a mud bath for every soul concerned in it.

In the political system, we are a team; politics and bureaucracy, we are a team. The politicians, bureaucrats and the people, we are a team.

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

When the President does it, that means that it’s not illegal.

How long will it take the citizens of the United States, one wonders, to recognize that the house their country bombed in Iraq is the same one they were living in until it was foreclosed?

The trouble with Nixon is that he’s a serious politics junkie. He’s totally hooked and like any other junkie, he’s a bummer to have around, especially as President.

One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes a revolution in order to establish a dictatorship.

I have been to the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and I have witnessed the racially segregated roads and housing that reminded me so much of the conditions we experienced in South Africa under the racist system of Apartheid.

If I studied all my life, I couldn’t think up half the number of funny things passed in one session of congress.

I believe we can continue the Great Society while we fight in Vietnam.

It’s nice to say let’s be bipartisan. But we’re a partisan nation. We were raised as a partisan nation.

A faction willing to take the risks of making war on the ossified status quo in the Middle East can be described as many things, but not as conservative.

After two years at UCLA, I decided to leave. I was convinced that no amount of education would help a black man get a job.

Be extra careful in the work environment with those who like to maintain their position through charm and being political, rather than getting things done. They are very prone to envying and hating those who work hard and get results. They will slander and sabotage you without any warning.

I guess you’d call me an independent, since I’ve never identified myself with one party or another in politics. I always decide my vote by taking as careful a look as I can at the actual candidates and issues themselves, no matter what the party label.

I get that racism exists, but it’s not a catalyst for my content. I don’t need to talk about race to have material. My style of comedy is more self-deprecating. I think that makes me more relatable. When you deal with ‚topics‘ – race, white versus black – you’re not separating from the pack. You’re doing what everybody else is doing.

The Middle East is obviously an issue that has plagued the region for centuries.

I’m highly political. I spend an awful lot of time in the U.S. trying to influence decision-makers. But I don’t feel in tune with British politics.

I hate all politics. I don’t like either political party. One should not belong to them – one should be an individual, standing in the middle. Anyone that belongs to a party stops thinking.

It is as hard and severe a thing to be a true politician as to be truly moral.

Turkey must find its place if, of course, it can heal its internal sores, and none is more malignant than the perennial Kurdish issue.

When our governments want to sell us a course of action, they do it by making sure it’s the only thing on the agenda, the only thing everyone’s talking about. And they pre-load the ensuing discussion with highly selected images, devious and prejudicial language, dubious linkages, weak or false ‚intelligence‘ and selected ‚leaks.‘

Compromise used to mean that half a loaf was better than no bread. Among modern statesmen it really seems to mean that half a loaf; is better than a whole loaf.

Sure there are dishonest men in local government. But there are dishonest men in national government too.

My objection to Liberalism is this that it is the introduction into the practical business of life of the highest kind namely, politics of philosophical ideas instead of political principles.

I’ll be honest: I haven’t ruled politics out.

The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government.

The presidency has many problems, but boredom is the least of them.

Much publishing is done through politics, friends, and natural stupidity.

When Hillary served in the Senate, I saw her work day and night as a member of the Armed Services Committee – working with Republicans and Democrats to keep our military strong and protect our troops and their families.

The issues a president faces are not black and white, and cannot be boiled down into 140 characters. Because when you have the nuclear codes at your fingertips and the military at your command, you can’t make snap decisions. You can’t have a thin skin or the tendency to lash out.

Socialism is the same as Communism, only better English.

I belong to no organized party. I am a Democrat.

I don’t see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves.

My job is not to represent Washington to you, but to represent you to Washington.

You cannot mix sports with politics.
